I want everyone to try out this test. After I've seen everyone's votes, I'll reveal what the test is for and what your responses mean. BTW: If you recognize this test or the other one that I'm going to post, please don't post what it is. It'll be more fun if you keep it a secret.
Choose only 1 answer for each of these questions. If you don't feel comfortable answering these questions (and I want HONEST answers) live in the forum, you can PM me with the answers:

No more than anyone
No

Only sometimes
Only if it's outside my own country
