How’s YOUR Karma?

1. Do you believe that your life is going in the right direction?

a) Definitely, although it’s not something I think about too often.

b) It depends on what’s happened lately and what mood I’m in.

c) No, I’m sure it wasn’t meant to be this way at all.

2. In the coffee shop you frequent every day, the cashier gives you change for a £20 note when you actually gave him a fiver. What happens next?

a) I say nothing, but down my latte in record time and hit the streets a richer person.

b) I point out the error immediately: I know from experience that the rest of my day would go badly if I didn’t.

c) It depends which cafe I’m in. If it’s one of a chain run by corporate scum with bad karma, then I’d keep schtum; if not, I’d own up.

3. Are you generally happy?

a) Yes – thanks to the medication.

b) Yes, if I ever feel depressed, it’s not for long.

c) No, I’m more of a “down” than an “up” person.

4. Walking to work, you see a gorgeous super-model type slip on a banana skin. How do you react?

a) Point and laugh till the tears run down your legs. She probably deserved it.

b) Rush to her aid: you’re not going to stand around sniggering like everyone else. There but for fortune…

c) Pretend you didn’t see and keep on walking (wondering all the while what the banana skin had done to deserve being trodden on).

a) older than your years,

b) younger than you actually are, or

c) your age?

6. At a party, a man with a face like a Rottweiler tries to chat you up. What do you do?

a) Say: “Whoa – scary! Who let you off your lead?” (Harsh perhaps, but I believe people get the face they deserve.)

b) Make polite conversation. It’s not his fault he’s ugly.

c) Quickly “take a call” on your mobile. (You saw him coming.)

7. Which of the following sentences makes the most sense to you?

a) Smile and the world smiles with you

b) Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.

c) What you give is what you get.
