If you answered mostly A's: You have major problems with the green-eyed monster! You and your partner aren't connecting at all due to your feelings of insecurity and fears of cheating. It's time to sit down and have a serious talk about moving past these issues before your relationship is irrevocably harmed.
If you answered mostly B's: Your jealously is potent and comes out in passive-aggressive and even underhanded ways. You know that your paranoia is slightly unfounded, so you try to hide your jealous behavior, but your partner can sense it all the same. Talk out your issues. Confront them head-on rather than resorting to sneaky tactics.
If you answered mostly C's: Congrats! You can't help but feel jealous whenever you spot a sexy stranger near your sweetie, but you are in control of your emotions and know that your partner only has eyes for you.
If you answered mostly D's: You are one cool cucumber! Nothing shakes your confidence or your trust in your partner. Good for you!
