   你有多现实?下面这个由伦敦莫斯里医院的拉吉·佩尔绍德医生设计的测试有助于你发现这一点。
  
  1. No truly successful person in life is poor.
  A: Agree; B: Disagree
  2. Designer labels are usually just a way of
  ripping off the customer.
   A: Disagree B: Agree
  3. My dreams are filled with things I hope to
   buy that will improve my life.
   A: Agree;B: Disagree
  4. To avoid losing touch with reality, it’s
   important to live for periods without luxury.
   A: Disagree; B: Agree
  5. Those who say money can’t buy happiness
   have never had any happiness.
   A: Agree; B: Disagree
  6. How happy you are has little to do with
   your progress up the career ladder.
   A: Disagree B:Agree
  7. You can tell a lot about a person by the kind
   of watch they wear.
   A: Agree; B: Disagree
  8. I rarely buy magazines about expensive
   objects such as cars.
   A: DisagreeB: Agree
  9.I’d be upset if my neighbour suddenly appeared
   with a more expensive car than mine.
   A: Agree; B: Disagree
  10. Few people judge me on what I own.
   A: Disagree B: Agree
  
  Analysis:
   8 or more As: Your high score means you view the acquisition of possessions as essential for happiness. This success means much more to you than other life goals such as self-esteem and social integration. You may suffer from lower moods than lower scorers, and your materialism is a way of dealing with your low self-worth.
   5~7 As: Your materialism stems more from a need to “keep up with the Joneses”. You believe that you can buy your way into other people’s respect and you may fail to realise that sometimes excessive consumption alienates rather than attracts.
   2~4 As: How materialistic you are depends on your partner and your friends. You are slightly guilty about enjoying luxury and you aspire to be more giving. But your competitive instinct often takes over, particularly when you are feeling down, and then you see happiness as the product of the acquisition of material possessions.
   0~1 As: You are scoring low because your sense of identity comes more from your values than what you own. Your unfashionableness may be seen as eccentric by others, who might not give you recognition for your achievements since they assume you are not interested in anything so base as public success.
  
  1. 世上真正的成功人士没有一个是贫
  穷的。
  A. 是 B. 不是
  2. 设计师的标签通常只是向消费者索
  要高价的一种方式。
  A. 不是 B. 是
  3. 我的所有梦想就是去买那些能够改善我生活的东西。
  A. 是 B. 不是
  4. 为了避免与现实脱轨,过一段俭朴的生活是很重要的。
  A.不是B. 是
  5. 那些说钱不能买到幸福的人从来没有过幸福。
  A. 是B. 不是
  6. 你有多幸福与你在事业上的发展没有多大关系。
  A. 不是B. 是
  7. 通过观察一个人戴的手表,你可以判断出这个人很多方面的情况。
  A. 是B. 不是
  8. 我很少购买介绍昂贵物品的杂志,比如汽车。
  A. 不是B. 是
  9. 如果我的邻居突然开着一辆比我的更昂贵的汽车出现,我会感到很不舒服的。
  A. 是 B. 不是
  10. 很少有人根据我所拥有的财物来评判我。
   A. 不是 B. 是
  
  分析:
   八个或八个以上A:你的高分值表明你认为占有财物是幸福的关键。比起其他生活目标,像自尊心和社会融合,你在这方面的成功对你更重要。你可能比得分低的人更容易情绪低落,你的现实是你用来应付你的脆弱的自尊心的一种方法。
   5~7个A:你的现实更多的来源于一种“跟上那些与自己社会地位相等的人”的需要。你相信你能通过买东西博得别人的尊敬,你也许没有意识到有时候过多的消费更能让你疏远而非吸引别人。
   2~4个A:你有多现实取决于你的伴侣和朋友。对于喜欢奢侈这一点你有轻微的负疚感,你渴望多奉献一些。但你的好胜心经常获胜,尤其是当你情绪低落的时候,你会把获得物质财富看成是快乐。
   0~1个A:你的得分低是因为你对自我的感觉更多地来自于你的自身价值而不是你所拥有的物质。别人可能会因为你不够时尚而认为你行为古怪,他们可能会因为你的成功而不赏识你,因为他们认为你对任何像公众成功这样非个人的事情都不感兴趣。
