We suggest you take a boring test to determine the degree of your own selfishness.
Traditionally, love is opposed to hatred, but there is an opinion that it would be more correct to oppose - selfishness. This is a normal and natural human trait, to one degree or another. The snag is just in this very degree, and in order to determine it (or at least think about the scale of one's own egoism), a short psychological test is offered.
There are only two main questions, with answer options (there are no right and wrong answers, there are honest and dishonest). These questions make up the main body of the test. And below are the so-called control questions, there are no answer options for them and it is not necessary to answer them, especially since the questions are not pleasant.
So, an introduction to the first question: there is a real friend, and for him you are ready for anything. But here he, continuing to be friends with you, began to be friends with someone else.
Your position:
1. “I’ll be against it. My friend should only be with me."
2. "I will not interfere with them and go away."
3. "It's glorious, the more friends there are on earth, the better."
You can clarify the answers depending on the following specifics:
a) case: objectively, this is no worse for you, because a friend is still missing for you;
b) case: your friend is nice, he now has two real friends, and you began to miss him …
Introductory to the second question: you have a loved one (with a capital letter and so on), and for the sake of him you are ready for anything, especially since you are loved too. But your beloved turned out to be so rich in love that, without falling out of love with you, he began to love some other good person.
Your position:
1. “I’ll be against it. My beloved should only be with me."
2. "I will not interfere with them and go away."
3. "It's glorious, the more love on earth, the better."
You can clarify your answers depending on the following specifics:
a) case: objectively, this is no worse for you, because you still have enough loved one;
b) case: your loved one is nice, two people love him at once, and you began to miss him …
The test questions are provocative and by design. Because the stand is obvious, answering questions is not easier.
Test questions:
1. Where do you oppress a person dear to you more - as a friend or as a lover?
2. Which person is better to be next to you - your friend or loved one?
It is best, of course, to take this test in a pair, with a friend or with a loved one, but practice shows that it will be useful only if safety measures are observed, namely: accusations of selfishness are prohibited during discussion, exclamations in the spirit of Brazilian-Mexican TV series are prohibited, standard reactions are prohibited ("That is, if you have someone, I should be happy ?!").
A constructive and cheerful approach is encouraged, the attitude to the test is like traveling to a country with an unprecedented way of life.
