    Megan, 35: I definitely have waterworks when it comes to sad films or stories. I've always been emotional and curious—so that's spot on—and I strive to be heart-centered, so I'm flattered by that note!

    Paula, 27: I am definitely known for being honest. In terms of 'head-oriented,' I'd say I'm a mix of very head-oriented and very heart-oriented. I kind of act from my heart and then think about it from my head, if that makes sense.
