Do you think rich?

Take this test to discover if you possess the traits associated with wealth -- and get some advice on how to improve your outlook from ''Rich Dad, Poor Dad'' author Robert T. Kiyosaki.
  1. Money:

    A. is the root of all evil
    B. makes the world go around
    C. is a tool
  2. When it comes to finances, my friends are:

    A. average -- they have mortgages, car loans, credit cards and not a lot left at the end of the month
    B. doing much better than I am in the wealth department.
    C. broke -- they're always hitting me up for cash.
  3. When I don't have money left over at the end of the month:

    A. I don't know why.
    B. I know why.
    C. I know why, and I fix the problem.
  4. When it comes to managing my money:

    A. I have a lot to learn.
    B. I'm the smartest person I know.
    C. I know more than a lot of my friends.
  5. The kind of education I've spent the most money on is:

    A. professional
    B. academic
    C. financial
  6. If I started my own company and it failed, I would:

    A. just go out and get a job. At least I gave the dream a shot.
    B. never forgive myself. I'd be branded a loser, and it would ruin me financially.
    C. start another company. I know more now than I did the first time around.
  7. Money:

    A. requires serious study if you want results.
    B. takes a little planning.
    C. manages itself.
  8. If I don't have cash, it's because:

    A. the people who have money are keeping me down.
    B. I've sunk every dime into my business/investments.
    C. I don't manage my money very well.
  9. Rich people are:

    A. greedy or crooked
    B. self-centered and selfish
    C. good at managing their money and people.
  10. If I received a surprise gift of $100, I'd:

    A. pay off debts.
    B. put it toward something that would bring me even more money in the future.
    C. spend it!
  11. If I ever made millions, I'd:

    A. invest in my financial education and set aside a nice chunk for causes I value.
    B. buy a huge house and drive an expensive car -- but otherwise I'd still be the same old me.
    C. spend my days stimulating the economy -- you'd have to drag me out of the mall every night.
