Quiz: : Are You Materially Compatible?


One trait affecting romantic compatibility is materialism. It's an attraction for what's elegant and chic-—involving clothes, cars, jewelry, and dreams of the lifestyle enjoyed by the rich-and-famous. Among the spiritually-minded, it's an outlook that's sometimes criticized—-mistakenly--as shallow. After all, people who delight in fashion may also be idealistic and concerned with others less fortunate. And many who prefer a modest lifestyle personally aren't necessarily altruistic. The bottom line? Wanting to look good and live high may certainly co-exist with wanting to do good--making fine things more available for all.

How strong is your materialism? Below please read each question carefully and mark the answer that best fits you. There are no right or wrong answers on this quiz. Just describe yourself honestly and state your opinions as accurately as possible.
