I wouldn't ever go out to hurt anybody deliberately unless it was, you know, important. Like a league game or something. -- Dick Butkus

Do you take competition seriously? Does your pulse race and your heart pound when you are in the throes of a win or lose game? Though many of us believe, philosophically speaking, that the meek shall inherit the earth—brotherhood -- we don't want to play for the meek team. We want to be associated with a winning team or if we are even more profoundly competitive, we want to be the winning team.

Are you the cheerleader who encourages or are you the win-at-all-cost player who slams the opponents? Let's take the test and see.

Choose the response that most closely represents your "competiveness" philosophy.

1. You and a co-worker decide to slim down and tone up. She runs faster than you and she doesn’t have to stop as often. You think, "I can't let her beat me, I have to push harder."

Yes

2. In an office meeting your boss is praising, Ed, an associate for work "beyond the call of duty". From the way the boss is eulogizing you would presume Ed was eligible for sainthood. You think,

What a manipulative, self-serving psychopath. I do most of the work!

Ed does a great job and I am glad he is getting well deserved attention.

I am going to have to pull out all of the stops to outshine Ed.

3. You believe the word overachiever describes a workaholic with no life.

Yes

4. When you drive, you normally beat the speed limit by a few miles per hour.

Yes

5. When you were in school, grades were more than just numbers to you, you were convinced that they reflected your intelligence and worth.

Yes

6. In a fit of nostalgia your friends want to play Monopoly. You think:

No way, I hate losing

Cool, I used to play Monopoly when I was a kid

You begin to develop your plan to crush the competition

7. When you watch the Godfather you were repelled by the violence, but you have a grudging respect for the Corleones' ability to "achieve" against virtually impossible odds.

Yes

8. I believe that too much competitiveness will destroy relationships.

Yes

9. I would rather agree when I am in a group of people than stand out as different.

Yes

10. Donald Trump is entirely correct, only the ruthless survive in the business world.
