Do you consider yourself a generous person?

Question

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the most generous), what would you consider yourself?

Also, do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?

Reason for both Q's: I think that introversion correlates with a less altruistic temperament - idea being that having weak social ties gives you less of an incentive to help others - and you don't anticipate that helping will enhance your relationship with others.

Answer 1

I'm generally pretty generous. I overide my shyness if I see someone in need most of the time. I am an introvert.

If someone needs to use a tool that I have even if I don't know them I'll willingly volenteer, lend money, and stuff like that.

I'd consider myself an 8.5/10 as far as generosity goes. I'm a pretty nice guy. :)

Answer 2

an eight i care for family and friends and treat them when have money and give time

Answer 3

I don't believe there is a correlation at all. Helping comes in many forms. Many givers choose to remain anonymous, which is what is commanded of believers in the Bible. Generosity comes in all shapes and sizes and temperaments. Besides, I'm sure there have already been studies in this area. One final thing, 4-30 answers doesn't constitute a stringent study by any stretch of the imagination.

Answer 4

Hi, I'm sixteen years old; please don't judge me.

I can honestly say that I'm a very generous person. On a scale from 1-10, I would say 100% of the time I'm a 9.5 on the scale. I love being nice to people, so I tend to be very generous even when the person doesn't treat me well.

Best Of Luck!!

Answer 5

im pretty generous =]

Answer 6

i am only generous to the one i loved :)

Answer 7

your theory is interesting, and would seem to be accurate.  however, i am a pretty introverted person, but i would think of myself as at least a 7.  i give money to the homeless, volunteer, and though i don't have many friends, i would do anything for them.  

Answer 8

I think you may be on to something:  I consider myself to be very generous (maybe even a 10)  and somewhat of an extrovert..  I know someone who over the years has developed some serious social issues where he doesn't want to be involved in anything that has to do with anyone other than his family.  He also used to be quite generous and would volunteer to help many.  Now he is quite unwilling to go out of his way to help others.  He will help others when asked but quite grudingly.

Answer 9

generosity = 7
