Are You?
”
I didn’t know you could tell so much about a person by looking at what kind of junk they have on their desk, what kind of doodles they draw, or what type of eye makeup they wear!
    I stuck pink notes to the pages that had quizzes about crushes, like “Should You Act Flirty or Not?” and “Can You Decode Guy Talk?” and “Are You a Butterfly (Social) or Flower (Wall)?”
I even found a quiz called “Does Your Crush Like You Back?”
I couldn’t resist filling it out. I kinda wish I hadn’t, though. The quiz was set up like a flow chart. It started with a question in a box. A
yes
arrow led one direction and a
no
arrow another. Depending on which arrows you picked as you answered the questions, you eventually ended up in one of three boxes at the bottom of the page:
    â€¢ Yes! You Go, Girl!
    â€¢ He’s Noticed You, Keep Trying
    â€¢ No! Time to Move On
    Well, guess which box I ended up in.
    But even though the quiz didn’t work out the way I wanted, it did give me an idea for a great science fair project that will also help me with my boy research.
    First I created a personality survey for the girls by mixing my own burning questions with questions I pulled from different personality quizzes. Based on how they answer the questions, my female classmates will be divided into three separate types:
    Type A: Insecure/Clingy
    Type B: Artistic/Independent
    Type C: Popular/Snobby
    Then I created a box-and-arrow flow-chart quiz to lead guys through a path of questions that will reveal which one of the three types of girls they like! Since I’ll be one of the types of girls the boys can pick, I’ll be able to see which boys in my class answer the questions that lead to
my
letter. This is what my dad would call a hidden agenda, which is a plan that is kept secret. A stealth plan. The kind a spy would make.
    Needless to say, it is the hidden agenda part of the experiment that I’m most excited about. And it rocks that I found one experiment that will support two different hypotheses, which are unproven theories, according to Ms. S.
    #1: Official Science Fair Hypothesis
    Based on interest surveys, I think boys will prefer one type of girl over other types.
    AND
    #2: Hidden Agenda Hypothesis
    Finding out which boys are attracted to my type of girl will help me see which ones are most likely to have boyfriend potential or, better yet, soul-mate potential!
    Here’s the most fabulous thing about the whole project: When I asked Mr. DeLacey if I could distribute the surveys during algebra, he said, “Sure.” Then he offered to give them to the rest of his math sections because he said research is always more accurate when you have a “larger sample”! He even said he’d take one
himself
! How lucky is that? So now I’ll have data on 115 people, about half of them guys. This is awesome! Now I just need to go fill out one of Ms. Sabatino’s science fair applications, staple copies of the quizzes to it, and I’m home free!!!!

Bedtime
    Got permission from Mom to make sixty-three copies of my girl survey and fifty-two copies of the boy one. I’m ready to put my project into action tomorrow!
    Did not get to sit with Evan at lunch. L But I passed him twice in the hall and he smiled both times! J J Ahhhhh — progress!

Tuesday, January 9
Fourth period
    I just distributed my surveys. (Mr. DeLacey said he’d take his later.) In my head I pictured the three letter-shaped boxes on the boys’ survey as three different girls: The Vine
(type A), me
(type B), and Maybelline
(type C)
.
I hope, hope, hope that lots of guys will follow the path that leads to Type B — me!
    I’m sure most scientists would frown on it, but the boys’ survey won’t
exactly
be anonymous. Well, it was for
most
of Mr. DeLacey’s math classes, but not for fourth
