QUIZ: How Competitive Are You?
Ready, set… Let’s find out.
WELL, JUST HOW badly do you need to win?
And that’s “need” – not “want”. The ultra-competitive among us will know that failing just isn’t an option. It’s do or die for those that love to win, while the more laidback are mystified by people who just always have to be right, or first, or the best.
Ah, competition. It’s the spice of life.
Let’s roll that dice and find out how you score…

You've got that streak...
Most of the time you're a good sport, but every so often that competitive streak just bursts out of you. But that's a good thing. Keeps life interesting, right? Just play nice.
