Are You a Giver, Taker, or Matcher? - Lucky - 08-16-2014

If anyone is curious about their reciprocity style and how they compare to others in their age range, occupation, or state you can take this quick 15 question assessment.

http://giveandtake.com/Home/ChooseAssessment

It asks questions like:

"You’re applying for a job as a manager, and a former boss writes you a glowing recommendation letter. What would you be most likely to do?"

A. Look for ways to help my former boss, so I can pay it back

B. Offer to write a recommendation letter for one of my own former employees, so I can pay it forward

C. Go out of my way to make a good impression on my new boss, so I can line up another strong recommendation for the future

Here are my results:




And here's how I compared to others:

Are You a Giver, Taker, or Matcher? - Heathree - 08-16-2014

Results were:

0% giver.

53% taker.

47% matcher.

I think if someone is a massive giver, they'll help others a lot at the detriment of themselves. There are very few people out there who are massive givers.

I got 75% matcher. I like to pay back favors.

I won't lie, I don't do favors for people that come off to me as takers. I assume 95% of women are takers.

7% Giver
53% Matcher
40% Taker

Sounds about right. I don't keep a detailed record of favors owed, but I do have a general sense. I try to avoid being a leech or being leeched on.

7% Giver, 46% Matcher, 47% Taker.

I think I got pushed towards taker by the last few questions of "What is this person's motivation for doing this?" where I gave the cynical response every time. Seems a bit of a fallacy to assume that only evil people would presume others to be evil.

I enjoyed the other threads regarding http://www.rooshvforum.network/thread-23162.html and the Myers-Briggs personality types.

Of course this is an imperfect assessment. The creator of the test is Adam Grant and he is a Professor at Wharton who believes giving can open more doorways to success. I just finished reading the book and found the idea interesting.

I always thought of myself as more of a matcher, though in certain situations I can be a taker.

66% matcher
27% taker
7% giver

I'll happily buy someone a drink if they have done so for me before, or if they are the kind that would if I'm short of money. I'd never buy a drink for a known tight-ass though.
