Dear Quiz: Are You Too Nosy?

Apr 14 2008 - 11:00am

We all have our imperfections and for some people it's not knowing when to back off. I love good gossip [1] as much as the next person, but I do know that when it comes to other people's personal lives, being too nosy only leads to trouble. So are you too nosy? Take this quick quiz to find out.

If you come across two coworkers talking quietly in the office, what do you do?

Completely ignore them.

Acknowlege that you know they're gossiping with a wink or a joke.

Get in on the conversation, or try to find out what it's about.

Do you hate not knowing what's going on in other people's lives?

Yes, I'm always aching to know their story.

Not at all; it's none of my concern.

Only with my really close friends.

Which best describes your approach if a friend says she's fine, but something is obviously wrong?

I keep asking, until she finally tells me.

I leave it at that. If she wasn't fine, she could say so.

I'll ask again, but if she still doesn't want to talk, I just let her know I'm here when she's ready.

Do you ever eavesdrop on conversations?

Always

Sometimes

Never

You know one friend has a secret about another, but she says she can't tell you what it is. What do you do?

Pry and beg until she finally tells me.

Bring it up slyly with the friend whose secret it is and hope she spills.

Just wait for my friend to tell me.
