I got: Opinionated!
You are extremely passionate about what you believe in and proudly speak out about it. But people believe that you think your opinions are the only ones. They might think you don’t accept others’ opinions, but you actually welcome them.
I got: Cynicism!
You try to be realistic in every situation because you like weighing out all the possible options. But, it may look like you’re being pessimistic to some.
I got: Confidence!
Your confidence in your abilities is definitely admirable. However, some people take it as over-confidence or arrogance. You just take pride in your endeavors.

You have a sense of humor that some people find amazing and hilarious, but some people find very offensive. You just love making people (and yourself) laugh!
