Mostly As – PRACTICALLY ROYAL 

You embrace your heritage in all it’s glory. You lead the high life and have little to worry about, except maybe that Waitrose has run out of Heston’s mince pies. You’d get on well with Pippa Middleton as spending weekends away shooting or lounging in your luxurious New Town pad sipping on Champagne as a predrink sounds perfect to you.

 

Mostly Bs –  THE NOUVEAU RICHE

Partying in London, dressing like a hobo even though you’ve got the dosh and getting an internship through daddy is the way you role. Quatermile appartments are an option, but in an attempt to play your poshie down, you opted for Marchmont. So radical yah.

 

Mostly Cs – THE PLAIN JOE

There aint nothing special about you but you get on with everyone, have fun and make the best out of everything. Jealousy may set in when your New Town friends jet of to Val d’Isère for the Easter hols while  you work part time trying to figure out how you’ll be the one pointing the finger at Lord Sugar. You probably went to state school.

 

Mostly Ds – THE WORK HARD, PLAY HARD

You don’t give a shit what people think. Barbour and gap ‘yahs’ (you took a year out) are off your radar but that’s fine by you. Getting a job and having fun while doing it is what matters. Bring on the bargains and let the good times roll….
