Do you have what it takes to be a diva?
Or are you just a girl who likes to shop?
Find out by taking this quiz.

(b.) Go shopping, buy a killer outfit, then text message all your friends and get them to give her dagger looks.
(c.) Sit down and have a heart-to-heart with them, letting them know you know. You’ll take your time assessing your friendship and not do anything rash.

Mostly A’s. Butterfly Herself.
You’re not so much like a diva as like an actual character in an opera. Remember, Juliet, Tosca, Butterfly, and Gilda led exciting lives, but they also came to bad ends.
Mostly B’s. Fashion Diva.
Lots of girls think they’re divas for nothing more than dressing cool and making others feel bad. A true diva is known for her passion, not just her looks.
Mostly C’s. Diva … not!
You’re not a diva, and you’re okay with that. You love good friends and good times, but you know when to work hard too.
Mostly D’s. Potential Diva.
Like Caitlin, you know what you want and are willing to work and sacrifice to get it. You can be a diva, or pretty much anything else you set your mind to. You’ve got killer talent, the perseverance to go for it, and the heart to make it happen.
