What does your smile say about you?

A lot. Whether we like it or not, our smile tells others a lot about us - the good and the bad. So, what does your smile say about you?

Take Colgate’s Smile Style Quiz
If you’d like to take an informal, unscientific, but quite entertaining quiz to learn what your smile is telling those around you, then give the Colgate Smile Style Quiz a try. The Smile Style Quiz attempts to tell you if your smile is “sexy, confident or shy”.

I must say, after taking this quiz I was pretty surprised with the results. I was hoping for sexy, but ended up with confident. In fact, according to the quiz I’m a Broadway Star. Who knew? In any event, I wouldn’t put to much weight into this quiz as it’s primarily meant for entertainment purposes and is much too restrictive to provide an accurate reflection of others’ perceptions of you.

For a more accurate analysis, you may want to take a look at a smile analysis story ABC News ran about a year ago with the help of a body language expert.

So, tell me, what do you think your smile says about you?

Well I took the test and it came up as sexy… lol! I think though that we all have different smiles for different people… we could be confident, shy or sexy depending on the circumstances… it was a fun test.

Hey Ange, glad you enjoyed the test. I’m thoroughly jealous of your results. You are right though, what a person’s smile reveals is completely situational.

As “unscientific” as that quiz was, it was right on for me. I don’t know, it is possible that I was tailoring my answers to receive a particular result, but who cares? It was fun.
