Are You Selfish or Selfless?
by D. Stephenson Bond, L.M.H.C.


Your husband is working overtime, you have a major deadline tomorrow morning, and the kids are in bed with the flu. Sound familiar?


Conflicts like this are an inevitable part of family life, and decisions must be made about whose needs come first, which means that someone's needs come last.


Perhaps that 'someone' is you.


How do you make choices about your role in your family's healthcare, and where do your needs fit in?
Take the quiz & share your results if you'd like. Read more @:

Well, the verdict's in:


You scored 80%
on the Selfless Orientation


A Selfless orientation means you find value in and enjoy providing for the needs of others. That means your family is probably well cared-for and in the best possible health. Are you?


You scored 20%
on Self-Care Orientation


Self-care means that you recognize the fact that your needs matter. You take good care of yourself in many ways and make time for yourself--even when other issues are pressing. You are committed to regular, sensible, preventive healthcare, and you make sure to explore the things you find important.


You scored 0%
on the Situational Orientation


Situational orientation means your top priorities, no matter how important they may be, are always placed within the context of other priorities and demands. In this decision-making style there is no overall system that automatically determines what decision you rank over another. Instead, you base your choices on the realities of the moment.






Balancing all the different priorities in your family life is a tough job. We hope this quiz have given you a better idea of just how you are balancing different priorities in your health care decisions. Thank you for taking the quiz!
