Answers:
10-14 points: “The British are coming!” Paul Revere, American Revolutionist, Silversmith, and Dentist is a forefather of this great nation and, perhaps, a branch in your own family tree. The Revere in you is based on your passion, dedication, and creative talents, as well as your attention to details.
15-24 points: “I’m your Huckleberry.” Okay, maybe he didn’t say that in real life, but Doc Holliday, Gunman, Gambler, and Dentist could may be in your bloodline. You’re a risk taker, a life-lover, and you believe in standing up for what’s just.
25-34 points: You are a competitor at heart, like Mark Spitz, 7-Time Gold Medalist in Swimming and Dentist, and your desire to be the best has brought you far in life. Keep striving for greatness, and no one will be able to stop your success.
35-44 points: You, my dear dentist, are a rock star! The pop rock/hip hop boy band, GreeeN, hails from Japan and features four heart throbs who just happen to be dentists. If laryngitis strikes, you might be called to stand in. You probably have all the latest technology in your office, don’t you?
45-50 points: Maybe it’s the technology nerd in you, maybe it’s your desire to influence those who respect you, but you are most like Dr. Edward Zuckerberg, father of the father of Facebook and Dentist. Your compassion and support, mixed with intelligence, is a recipe for being an amazing mentor and life coach.
