You think you know somebody but then they do something that makes you question everything you know about them; this is more profound when that somebody is you.
There are 18 questions to be answered. There are only 5 possible answers to each question. The answers are;
- No.
- Rarely.
- Sometimes.
- Most of the time.
- All the time.
There are no right or wrong answers, however, I believe the higher your score the more content you are with the life you’re living. The highest possible score is 90.

So, how well do you know yourself?
Can you guess which answer will be the most popular? I’m guessing it will be number 3 sometimes.
Knowing how difficult it is to know yourself, you will realise it’s virtually impossible to know anybody else, the best you can hope for is to appreciate the version they show you.
I’ll leave you with one of my favourite quotes:
“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” ~Aristotle.
