    The Greedhead

    Ask not for whom the cash register ka-chings: It ka-chings for you. Your reverence for the almighty dollar is boundless, and you don’t care how many heads you have to step on as you claw your way to the top of the heap.
    You would happily sell your grandmother for the right price—probably even at a discount—because you have no morals, scruples, or shame. All in all, you are probably a very successful person.

    Slacker, but I thought it was really stupid. The question about Julia Roberts vs Warren Buffett? I'd lunch with Buffett because I bet that would be a much more interesting conversation, not because he has lots more money. And posing nude in an adult magazine? Shit, I'd do that for free .

    Coveter. Yeah, that's about right. I'll usually gladly suffer in the short term in order to be much happier in the long term. If it had been 40 years instead of 5 in a job I hate, i would have answered no. I guess it helps that I pay no attention to the fact that I could easily die tomorow.

    You’re completely normal! Which is to say, you’re just as venal and greedy as the rest of us. Money plays a key role in your decision-making process—but not the only role. You do realize there is more to life.

    You can’t always resist an opportunity to make some extra cash, but there’s nothing wrong with that. Is there?

    The quiz results so far:

    Monks: 3.01%
    Slackers: 39.10%
    Grounded Middles: 44.13%
    Coveters: 9.18%
    Greedheads: 4.59%

    Money, money, money: That’s what you want! In fact it’s what you crave. In dreams, old Ben Franklin leans out of the hundred-dollar bill, creaks his bony finger at you seductively, and coos "join me, join me." But you hesitate. Who cares about friends, sex, honor, and all that other stuff? You do—at least a bit—and that keeps you from selling out completely.

    But be careful: You might be slowly morphing into Donald Trump, minus the cash and supermodels. And what’s that worth?

    The quiz results so far:

    Monks: 3.00%
    Slackers: 39.08%
    Grounded Middles: 44.12%
    Coveters: 9.21%
    Greedheads: 4.58%

    Middle. But I'd so rather have lunch with Buffet then Julia Roberts/Clooney.

    I'm a coveter. I'm a "Monk" at most things, but I watch my wallet carefully in terms of my own personal affairs. I watch those around me to see what I can learn from them. But about friends, I dont think about money at all, friendships with incredible people are priceless, and nothing (including money) can bring better happiness then being loved to bits by a group of best friends.
