Family Values
Answers
Mostly a's
YOU'RE A HUGHES
Congratulations! You're part of Oakdale's most venerable founding family. But with that name comes great responsibility: You'll be expected to maintain the family reputation with community service and public decency. Luckily, Hugheses are generally level-headed with a strong moral compass, but they also tend to beat themselves up a little too much when they make a mistake. So let yourself off the hook sometimes! Of course, if you do fall short in any way, you'll likely have to face your disappointed elders at a behavioral intervention in the Lakeview lobby, where Kim will call you "Kiddo" (Worse than a slap in the face!) and your guilt will be punishment enough.

YOU'RE A SNYDER
With corn-fed good looks and a healthy sexual appetite, you know your way around a haystack. Indeed, you feel most comfortable outdoors, maybe on a motorcycle with the wind in your hair. That's right: You've definitely got a rebellious streak, and though you've explored life off the farm, you always find your way home to Emma's kitchen, where the pie is always fresh and the love is always unconditional. Just be careful of that passionate nature of yours — though you're led by your heart, you should listen to your head sometimes, too. Also, even though you tend to buck the system yourself, you may sometimes judge others a little too harshly.

YOU'RE A RYAN
As a member of the more glamorous offshoot of the Hughes family, you've likely got a trust fund — and hopefully you got some reasonable Munson genes to go with it instead of that nasty Stenbeck blood. Either way, as part of the family headed by Queen Babs, you've definitely got a dash of the crazy. Other than that, you've got exquisite taste, you're extremely loyal (sometimes to a fault) and you tend to fall hard, then seriously obsess over those you hold dear. Just be careful not to smother them (literally or figuratively) with your love.

YOU'RE A STEWART
As a Stewart, you are actually descended from Oakdale's other founding family, the Lowells, but the years have not been as kind to you and yours. Indeed, you're likely in a vicious cycle that keeps repeating itself each generation: Though you're smart and sexy, your low self-esteem and addictive personality tends to sabotage your chance of success. Just remember that you don't need a man to complete you — you are strong enough to stand on your own two feet!

Beauty And Brains: Susan (Marie Masters, c.) and her daughters, Emily (Kelley Menighan Hensley, l.) and Alison (Marnie Schulenburg) have both, so why are they so self-destructive?

When you first realize you're in love, you ...
- Indulge in a fantasy about the kids and the picket fence, but remind yourself to take things slowly.
- Spend plenty of time in bed with your new partner, but also give some serious thought to any changes that they might need to make to really be compatible with you.
- Plan to spend the rest of eternity with your new soul mate, who you will never let out of your sight.
- Wait for the other shoe to drop — if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

You find out your lover cheated on you. How do you react?
- You're angry, but you know there's still love between you, so hopefully you can find a way to work this out.
- You say a lot of things you don't mean, then immediately seek out someone else for revenge sex.
- You fake your death to give yourself time to plot how you will destroy the cheater and their new lover.
- You buy a gun — if you can't have them, no one can.
