The ambitious is always searching for a new project. They’re one of the most dedicated of the majors and will always be working hard and searching out new opportunities. They work better under pressure and want to work on as many projects as they can handle at one time.
8. The Overdramatic Actor
The overdramatic actor believes that everything, even walking down the hallway to class, must be done in the most dramatic way possible. Many people tire of their overdramatic attitude and they tend to make a lot of things about themselves.
