Go back to the pub and have a re-think. Mostly B’s – You are the ideal PR consultant. You’re not afraid to work hard and you can handle the pressure. You like working in teams and are confident about what you do. Mostly C’s – You lack creativity and confidence. You’re afraid to try and new ideas and like to keep yourself to yourself.
