| What Is Your Level of Self-Reliance? |
|
"No man is an island," or so the old saying goes. In other words, we live in an interdependent world, with each of us relying upon one another, at least to a certain extent. But some people depend upon others for nearly everything, whereas other people rely primarily upon themselves, and wouldn't have it any other way.
Where do you think you fall in the continuum between Total Autonomy and Highly Dependent?
Take the following revealing quiz to find out! When you have completed the quiz and have gotten your results, be sure to guess what your friend's and family's results will be on this quiz in the spaces provided. This free test will automatically be sent to them and, after they take it, you'll find out if your guess was right or wrong!
