I thought you might answer this one, Koa, he-he. :lol:
Definitely, and I have a few times. Especially with a best friend, honesty, to me, seems valued.Quote:

(or by roommate do you mean sharing the whole place? my flatmate in Hungary used the word roommate even if we weren't sharing a room, and her English was very American, so now I wonder).
Would you take some time to tidy up your desk even knowing that it will take less than 20 minutes before it's a mess again?:D
Out of pity for myself...no, I don't think so. :D Only if someone important was going to be looking at it before those 20 minutes had elapsed.
Would you seek to find an island at sea if you knew that no one had ever returned from that island? (And yes, that is vaguely reminiscent of Dinotopia.)
Yes, the way I see it this would leave one of 3 outcomes any of which I'd enjoy:
1) The island is perfect, and the reason nobody returned is no one wanted to leave.
2) The others never made it as far as the island, nobody there to bother me.
3) The island is rubbish, however as the first to return alive I am greeted with fame and adoration.
Would you "assist" someone who wanted to commit euthanasia?
Yes if there death was going to be inevitable (in a short amount of time - all our deaths are inevitable) and painful.
If you really wanted an expensive electronic device (I-Pod maybe) but couldn't afford it, would you buy one off the street that you knew was stolen?
Though it sounds tempting, I would not. Some new technology can get tracked by its code number, or production number, or something, while in use, plus it just sounds morally wrong to support someone who stole.
Would you help design/build something you have no passion or concern for, but for the sake of others?
Probably not. I can't do things if I have no passion for them, even if I try, the way I pursue the task and the crappy result make it clear that I have no passion for that
(er...just as my maths teacher at school always said it was evident that i couldnt care less about maths, even when I tried to struggle :D)
Would you buy something that is exactly the same as something you already have, just because you like it so much and you want another one of it? (be it clothes or something else that you can have two of)
Yeah. I mean, when the first one wears out, you can use the second one...afterwards it might not be on the market (or in fashion) anymore. ;)
Would you eat something if you didn't know what it was (and it looked a little...strange...besides?)?
depends on amount of hunger. If it was eat it, or die, then yes.
Would you go to more than an hours work to pull a prank on a coworker?
Ehm.. no.. but I am not much of a prankster.. So that's the reason. Might spend that much time on a surprise though - like a present or a party.
Would you forget the birthday of someone close to you?
Probably not, I remember even birthdays of people I havent seen for 10 years, and people I want to forget... Though sometimes I happen to wake up knowing that it's X's birthday and by the time I see the person I forgot already... but no, if it's someone really close chances are I've had that in mind for weeks before.
Would you show to new people even the bad sides of your character, or would you try to be a good person for as long as possible in their presence?
Ehm.. both.. I would tell them "Oh, I can be pretty bad in that and that way" but then I would try to act the opposite, to make people say "Oh, you're not that bad"... And then later they find out I spoke the truth :cool:.
Would you push yourself to the limit in reaching your goal even if it means that if you push a bit too hard that you will go mad from lack of sleep (experience speaking here ;) )?
No, I'm lazy, I set my goals high then lower them until they require no effort. It's horrible :(
Would you be able to learn something (eg, a language) by studying it all by yourself? No classes, no exams?
Yes, but only to a limit. Though I have not attended a course in French in some time, I continue to study it by myself, but I feel I need a good course in its conversation, as I can never practice the language interaction with others (since no one else I know studies French!).
Would you give a homeless person spare change, when asked, even if you had little money, but enough, for yourself?
i'm pityless. I don't give money. If i really felt sorry for him, i'd take him to McDonalds for lunch.
Would you give a hitch-hiking granny a ride?
