You In One Word

Q.

You have one word to describe yourself. What do you choose? What would others say?

.

A.
It can feel impossible to describe ourselves in one word. Much harder than describing others, particularly those we know at a distance. But, if pressed, what would we choose for ourselves?

Last Spring, YouGov asked 2.242 US adults to select words from a list, words that they felt best described them. The most popular self-descriptor: friendly.
