So you're a gossip?

Well, that's what we've heard, anyway. But if you'd like a more concrete test, try answering the next few questions.

Return to "Is Gossip Good?"

Q1. Of the following, your favorite magazine would be…

2. Vanity Fair.
3. People or Us.
4. The Star, the Globe, or anything for an Enquiring mind.
Q2. Gossip is…

3. a harmless way of passing the time.
4. my very lifeblood.
Q3. You are friends with both members of a couple who are in the midst of a nasty breakup. What do you do?

2. Spend long hours on the phone consoling both parties, but try to remain neutral.
3. Tell your other friends just as many details as they need to know to keep from unwittingly hurting any feelings.

2. best taken with a grain of salt.
3. an important way to keep one step ahead of possible company changes.
