Answers

The answers are irrelevant. The very fact that you took the time to take this quiz means that you are highly self-involved and generally uninterested in other people. Regular people do not wonder whether they like others (including even you); it is obvious to them that they do. Right now they are probably tallying up their answers to the “What kind of helper are you?” quiz, available elsewhere.

Note: This “quiz” was published in the literary magazine Y Sin Embargo in 2008.
