The Conversation

A group of friends are in the living room talking aimlessly,

but still covering some fascinating subjects. You're all relaxed

and comfortable.

(A) You listen more often than you talk, and you're sure you're

getting a good deal out of the evening. A lot of heavy stuff

you were uncertain about now seems clearer. You're really

enjoying yourself.

(B) You listen to what the others are saying, but you don't

hesitate to put your own views forward. You certainly give

as much as you get. You come away feeling you've learned

a lot, but you've also opened a few other minds to the truth.

(C) You talk much more than you listen because you have some

important things to say about all these matters, and you

know the rest will want to hear your side. In fact, you

often have to interrupt some irrelevant talk to get your own

point across, but it's worth it.

Chow Time

The movie was great, and now the group of you are trying to

decide where to go for a good meal.

(A) You listen to all the recommendations, hoping someone will

come up with a good suggestion.
