Do you prefer to ask questions or answer them (an yahoo answers)? / What does your preference reveal about your personality?
I prefer to ask questions.
I think your preference semi indicates something about your personality. I'm a very expressive person, and because of that (as bad as it sounds) I'm not nearly as excited listening to other people share their experiences with me as I am sharing my experiences with other people.
You might be thinking that there is an error in my logic; that there is no relation between asking / answering a yahoo to identifying personality traits. After all, if I prefer to express myself instead of listen to others, than why would I prefer to read other people's answers on my questions?
Thing is, I enjoy being the center of attention. I like it when I (purposely) do something funny and people laugh at me. I like boosting other peoples levels of happiness. When you ask a question on yahoo, everyone (presumably) will read your question and description before answering. Not everyone will read everyone else's already written answers. Therefore, if you ask the question, you are the focus of attention. The correlation exists perfectly.
At least I think it does. I'm not a brain scientist or anything. =)
So whatta 'bout YOU? Do you prefer to ask or answer questions on yahoo answers? What insight does that provide into your personality?

The only ones who ask questions rather than answer are either naive,immature or plain ignorant.I mostly answer questions if I know the answer to help others & only ask when I have an intelligent need to know something.I have no wish to be the centre of attention,that is a pitiable trait in anyone.You are typical of many American teens on this site,needing to be told how great you are frequently.
