How did you do?
Insulting The Abbotts (1-2 correct): Given how little you know of the family, you may want to turn to John's chatty "widow," Gloria, for the full scoop. Expect to get a mouthful on Jack and Ashley, in particular.

Encouraging The Abbotts (3-5 correct): So you know who Jack is, mainly via his feud with Victor. It's about time you got to know the rest of the fam, as well.

Enlightening The Abbotts (6-8 correct): You know the Abbotts about as well as the employees at Jabot do. But don't expect to be invited to live in their manse anytime soon (and believe us, almost everyone moves in at some point...).

Exulting The Abbotts (9-12 correct): You do know Jack, get a thrill from Jill, while John turns you on ... Gloria, is that you taking this quiz?
