5 What is the most offensive thing a person could say to you?

I really don't know. It always bugs me when people assume because I am white, have an engineering degree, and live in the south that I am conservative. I am most definitely NOT.

6 Do you take compliments or praise well?

Pretty well, if it is something that I agree with. I find it difficult to know how to respond, if people say, "You must be really smart," when I tell them I have a degree in engineering. I find myself trying to explain that it does not mean I am really smart, it just means that I have an aptitude for math and am a good problem solver...There are other things that make me really smart. ;-)

I find that if it's a compliment on something I've done, on my work, it's much easier to accept and respond, and say 'thank you' . It's what I see other people do so it's what I try and do
