Selfish or Selfless: Egoism and Altruism Test

Selfish or Selfless: Egoism and Altruism TestAnswer the questions below as honestly as you can. As any psychological test, this test is not perfect, but it can give you a good idea about your tendencies. Oftentimes we don’t realize that we may come across as egoistic and selfish, and answering this type of questions may be a real eye opener.

On the other hand, some people may appear perfectly altruistic, but in reality, they are doing it for their own reasons, such as desire to be liked and respected (e.g., abusing and depriving their own family while rushing to help strangers).
