ANALYSIS

Mostly As
You are pretty happy being you. In fact, a bit too happy. You seem to be so full of yourself that you can't ever notice anything negative about yourself. Perfect way to remain happy, what? Not if you wanna be happy for real. For being happy for real, you have to get real. Everyone has some flaws, something that they are not good at... the trick is to realize that and not get bogged down by it. Happy realizing!

Mostly Bs
If I try to imagine how you look, the first thing that I'll probably see is a smile. You are truly at peace with yourself. You are the kind of person who wouldn't mind being alone, always find things to do on their own and never feels persecuted or paranoid. You know your limitations as a person but you also know what you are good at and balance your life accordingly. Good, great, just don't become conceited. Stay happy!

Mostly Cs
I don't wanna say this, but you are totally not happy with yourself. For god's sake, you almost look down upon yourself! Whatever made you think that you are no good at anything? Everyone has a strong point. If you are not happy with the way you are, do something about it, throw away your negative attitude. Just saying that 'I can't do this' and 'nobody likes me' is going to make you more unhappy. Cheer up! :)
