QUESTION 277

Hmm... weird. Whose personality does the below paragraph describe?

Father : Andries Odendaal
Date of Birth: 16th June, 1994( age 16)

___________ is a jolly, self-confident, adventurous, spontaneous, and actually quite shrewd little fellow. He loves to perform and always follows his instinct and intuition, yet sometimes has the tendency to exaggerate a bit. He is often found fooling about and teasing people but not in a mean way. He is warm-hearted and caring, and wants to make as many friends as possible. He loves to play futbol as it is a great way to connect with others and break down language barriers. He always carries his football around which he will use to invite people to play with him. _____________ loves football. At one time he decided to dye his hair green as he felt it would be the perfect camouflage against the green of the football pitch; a bit like his rosette spots are when hunting in the wilderness!

He does have one striking weakness. With all his energy, he needs frequent rests. Occasionally, in-between performances on stage, he may suddenly fall asleep on the spot at the most random times! But rest assured, these are only short breaks that someone of his calibre needs to recharge his batteries.
