Quiz: What's Your Celeb Work Ethic?



Are you the equivalent of "famous for being famous" or is your work ethic admirable? Take this quiz and find out!

1. A new position opens up at your company, and a former boss recommends that you apply for it. It's not something you're interested in at all. What do you do?
a. Tell her that you appreciate her suggestion, but you see yourself going in a different direction. Then ask for her advice on how to get there.
b. Apply for it and see what happens. It couldn't hurt and if all goes well maybe the hiring manager would be open to creating a position more in line with your skill set.
c. Let her know that you'll send in your application, then don't. She'll think she's helped you out, and you'll be spared the torture of interviewing for another crappy junior-level position.

2. It's Friday afternoon and your office is a ghost town. How do you spend the time until Happy Hour?
a. Returning phone calls and e-mails. It's been a hectic week so now's a good time to follow up with various people.
b. Working on a side project you've got going on. It's going to be big.
d. At a long lunch with your best friend followed by some retail therapy. No one will ever know you weren't there and your favorite store is having a sale.

3. How many after work events do you attend each week?
a. One or two, but only if there's a real opportunity to network or it's for a worthy cause.
b. Three to four. You meet your best contacts at these kind of events.
c. Five or more. If they invite you, you will come, especially if there's free booze.

4. Your roommate hooks you up with a contact who has major pull in your industry. You have lunch planned for 1pm. What time do you roll into the restaurant?
a. 12:50. You don't want to keep them waiting.
b. 1:05. You don't want to appear to be too eager. They're important, but you are too.
c. 1:30. Promptness has never been your strong suit. It's a good thing charm and sex appeal are.

5. What phrase do you most overuse?
a. "It's a no."
b. " So, I was thinking..."
c. "She's a hot mess."

6. You can't stand your new boss. The two of you can't seem to agree on anything. The next time she sends a presentation back to you with tons of edits, you:
a. Call her immediately and ask if she has time to discuss the matter. If you better understood what she was looking for, you know you could deliver.
b. Make her changes. Sometimes you just have to agree to disagree and you won't work for her forever.
c. Quit. You don't have to take her shit.

7. It's crunch time at your company and the office manager has requested that your team work this weekend. You:
a. Suck it up, but let your manager know that you hope this won't become a habit.
b. Go to yoga first, then head to the office. You'll do the work, but you aren't letting them take up your entire weekend.
c. Blow it off. It's not like they can force you to come in on a Saturday.

8. You get laid off. What's the first thing you do?
a. Say goodbye to your co-workers and start gathering your things.
b. Email key personal documents to yourself and then delete them from your hard drive. You've been working on some stuff and you don't want the higher ups to get wind of it.
c. Tell your HR rep to fuck off. These morons have no idea how valuable you really are.


Mostly A's: Kate Winslet
Like the alluring Oscar winner, you have a strong work ethic, but you're choosy about what and who gets your attention. For you, it's about quality over quantity and you aren't afraid to leave a situation if the conditions aren't right. You need to believe in whatever you do, in order to do your best work.

Mostly B's: Drew Barrymore
Like this actress and film producer, you thrive when you have lots of different projects going at once. You're free-spirited and fun and people are drawn to you. If an opportunity ends you move on to the next, confident that you are where you're supposed to be in that moment.

Mostly C's: Lindsay Lohan
Like our wayward and unemployed LiLo, you're beginning to realize that talent only takes you so far. A bad attitude, laziness, or the inability to inspire trust in others can tank your career�no matter how much potential you once had.
