5. Think about possible outcomes – in the example I chose four of them. Remember that you’ll have to connect each answer with an outcome based on personality, characteristic feature, cultural context or the appearance. It’s easy when you get it.
Tip#3 People love to discover interesting things about their personality.

6. Add answers and link them with outcomes. For ex. ideal celebrity for the Mr Sporty type is David Beckham, while Tony Hawk is more like the Mr Streetwaer.
Tip#4 Stay positive with your questions and answers but some controversy may work good as well.
