    Money is nothing.

    No matter how much you have in your pocket, you don't throw your money out the window to shine in front of others. You evaluate others - and yourself - through their intrinsic qualities, not their gold. If you want to earn money, it's for something other than glory and power.

    Explanation This quiz is based on research conducted by K. T. Yamauchi and D. I. Templer from the California School of Professional Psychology (Fresno). In their study to develop a scale measuring attitudes toward money, Yamauchi and Templer tested 300 people from various economic levels. The quiz slightly challenges our tendency to see money essentially as a means of accessing social power and prestige. From a certain angle, attitudes toward money are an important indicator in terms of marital compatibility. If you are married - or planning to be - and you and your spouse have different approaches to money, trouble may not be far away. It has been noted that the most frequent couple quarrels revolve around money; it is also the number one cause of divorces. This gap is usually more due to the personality of the one who has the power of money in the couple, rather than money itself. It can be beneficial for these couples to compare their approach to money before getting married, and to address the subject calmly.

    Money is happiness!

    For you, money is only power, prestige and recognition. External recognition and the gaze of others are vital to your feelings of importance and success. You may look down on those you think are less well off financially, and refuse their friendship for this reason. You would benefit from softening your behavior.
