Dear Quiz: Are You a Pushover?

Feb 26 2008 - 8:00am

Remember Veruca Salt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, "I want it now, Daddy!" Sure, getting what you want is great in theory, but you probably end up with more enemies than friends with that kind of mentality. That's what compromise is for; however, some people compromise their own needs so often that they end up being considered more of a pushover than just easy going. Does this sound like you? Take this quiz to find out which side you fall on.

Your roommate is late on her rent for the fifth month in a row. Now she asks if you can cover the utilities for her this month. What do you do?

You know she's broke so you oblige.

You give her the money, but tell her it has to be just this one time.

You tell her to pay or move out.

How hard is it for you to tell someone "no"?

If I don't want to do something, it's not difficult.

I find it very difficult.

It's not hard for me.

When you go out with friends, who makes the final plan?

I do; I'm the most decisive.

They do; I'd rather go where they feel comfortable.

It depends on the occassion.

After a long day at work, a co-worker asks you to stay late and help him with something. You have a dinner party to attend, but you say:

Of course, even though you're sure you'll miss dinner.

Fine, but you're leaving in twenty minutes whether or not it's done.

Sure, but he owes you dinner.

How do you feel about canceling on people?

I feel perfectly fine about it.

I'll only do it if I have to.

I avoid it, otherwise I'm plagued with guilt.
