✨RESULTS✨

Mostly A’s: You’re an A5 Dot Grid.
The classic. The blueprint. The Pinterest queen. You’re balanced, reliable, and aesthetically driven. You probably own linen bedding and know what a capsule wardrobe is. Your journal? Perfect. Your vibe? Immaculate.

Mostly B’s: You’re a Traveler’s Size Dot Grid Notebook or a Blank Letter Size Notebook.
Free-spirited, chaotic good, and powered by iced coffee. You belong in a cafe in Lisbon with your stickers, a glue stick, and zero regrets. You journal sideways, diagonally, upside down—whatever the page demands. Wild and wonderful. You collect garbage to stick in your journal, but in an aesthetic way. 

Mostly C’s: You’re a B6 Dot Grid Notebook.
Compact and organised. You're a spreadsheet in human form but with a soft, artistic heart. You plan your plans and outline your outlines. Structure gives you life. You always  have Zebra Mildliner pens and a black Zebra Sarasa gel pen in your pencil case. This notebook and grid washi tapes your ride or die.

Mostly D’s: You’re a Square Dot Grid Notebook.
You live for cozy vibes and dramatic journaling sessions. Scrapbooking? Yes. Collage therapy? Absolutely. You're a mix of deep introspection and gold foil washi tape. Your notebook has feelings—and so do you.

Mostly E’s: You’re a B5 Dot Grid Notebook.
You're dreaming big and writing it all down. Your plans have plans. Vision boards? Monthly. Stationery budget? Unhinged (respectfully). You journal like you’re building an empire—because you are. This large notebook gives you the space to do everything on your epic to-do list.


Bonus Round: Tiny Notebook Energy?

Do you love hoarding supplies in your bag “just in case”?
Can’t resist anything mini-sized?
Always journaling on the go?

You might secretly be an A6 Notebook.
Pocket-sized, powerful, and the definition of “don’t underestimate me.” You’re adorable, efficient, and always prepared to whip out your planner during brunch. Pair your A6 notebook with the ultimate mini travel pen - the Uni-Ball One P Pen. Short and sturdy and made to go in your handbag!
