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. 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.

  7. Money:

    B. takes a little planning.

    B. self-centered and selfish

    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.
