19 – 24: Daiginjo. You pride yourself on your sensitive palate and refined sensibilities. You can be remote or lavish. People are intimidated by your style and finesse. You prefer to be the center of attention.

13 – 18: Ginjo. You are diplomatic and elegant. You feel equally comfortable in a number of settings. You’re a little of column A, a little of column B. People respect you and treat you well. You’re best one-on-one.

7 –12: Junmai-shu. You’re practical, flexible, and fun. You’ve got a big personality; people are charmed by your character. You take no crap, but you like to have a laugh. You thrive in diverse situations and love a challenge.

1 – 6: Nama. You’re a little wild, a little dangerous. People are either enthralled or perplexed by you; you have apostles and enemies. You say things like, “Let’s rock,” and “Caution to the wind.” You are full of élan and it shows: the eff-ing life of the party.
