My score was a 20.

You haven't got a curious bone in your body... at least not about other people's affairs. Perhaps you simply think it's none of your business and respect their privacy, or you just have better things to think about. Whatever the case, you show a high level of respect by not sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. The people in your life surely feel they can trust you, and you probably expect the same in return. Way to go!

I got 30, I only would do the sticking around things to see what is going on. But i wouldn't look in people's medicine chest or anything or at their finances. But i do listen to arguments etc. I am a writer in my private life, we are usually sort of gossipy but mostly to find out about "Things" going on.

I got a 15. I never score high on those tests because I can see so many shades of grey. For instance, the question about your friends' hubby...depends on what he does for a living. And how they are acting together. If she was hanging all over him, I wouldn't just stick around to find out...I'd waltz right over, "Hi John! How are you? And how is that lovely WIFE of yours?"

I try to mind my own business but I don't tolerate cheating so things with relationships I'm nosey about.

This is about right. I care deeply about each of my friends' situations and feelings, but I respect their privacy and wait to be invited into their lives rather than prying.


I scored 15.

I scored a 60! I thought it might be higher though. I used to love to spy on the neighbors when I was little. I used to ask my mom for binoculars for Christmas.

And besides, I was an Intelligence Specialist in the US Navy and so I was able to put my "curiosity" to good use!

Your score = 50






What does your score mean?
While you've definitely got an inquisitive nature, you keep it in check and avoid prying into other people's business. Sometimes you go out of your way to get the scoop, for particularly juicy tidbits, but other times you respect their need for privacy. Curiosity is a natural emotion, and even valuable for creativity and work, but you seem to be aware of the fact that there can be too much of a good thing. Be careful that your snoopy inclination doesn't get you into trouble - most people don't appreciate being monitored. Show the same level of respect for others that you expect in return and you should be heading in the right direction.

I scored a 10. I figure I have so much going on in my life I really don't want to get involved in others. Unless they ask me and then I do all I can. Or unless I am in a cozy little gossip fest with my best girlfriend

Waaaa! I didn't know I was that nosy
I got a 30

Soooo.... let's go back to one of those questions and be honest about it this time....

You just been dumped by your SO, and you have access to phone msgs and email. You don't check to find out who he/she is seeing? Really?

Your S.O. says they are going out with friends and then the friends start calling your house looking for your S.O. when he/she is supposed to be with them and you don't get in the car a track them down?

Now, go back and take the test again to make me feel better.

Actually, because of that second question (hell yeah, I would be tracking them down in NO time!) I scored a 25. When it comes to potential cheaters, I'm right into their business... otherwise, I could care less what people I know are doing.

Someone mentioned wanting binculars, earlier in the thread... I would be SICKENED and would actually re-think the relationship if someone I knew was into watching people through binoculars. That's just wrong.

I scored a 25, guess I am not as nosey as I thought, or maybe it was just the type of questions.
