An overcrowded mall makes me feel...

How much time do you spend in a shop?

Are you easily persuaded by shop assistants to purchase the more expensive option?
A. Unless it's really going to be worth my while, no. I stand my ground and buy what I originally intended.

Mostly As: You're a Confident Shopper!
You're the one to turn to for a fun, well-thought out shopping experience. You're never frightened by big crowds or cheeky shop assistants – you've been through it all and could probably write a book about it! Thumbs up!

Mostly Bs: You're an OK Shopper
You certainly have days where you love shopping, but you also have your days where you despise the mall. You sometimes come across as unsure and then end up irritated with the whole ordeal.
You're Done!
Mostly Cs: Nervy Shopper
Because you're almost always in a rush, you tend to be very nervous and edgy. Shop assistants pick this up so the bad ones will often take advantage and throw you the most expensive item. Remember, shopping is meant to be a pleasant, relaxing experience, so don't put too much emotion into it.
