You can discover if you are Kind by doing the Kindness Test developed by Sussex University in collaboration with the BBC. Maybe you think you know yourself, maybe not.

What you possibly don't actually realise is how frequently people are kind to you & you are kind to others. It isn't something we think about enough. Kindness is possibly the most important human trait. Do we take it for granted & over estimate how kind we & others are?
What is kindness? Is it the same as compassion, empathy, altruism. Am I being selfless when I'm kind or do I benefit too? Am I kind enough - often enough? Do I accept kindness & value it. How much real kindness do I receive?
Is some kindness self seeking, superficial? What does it mean to be kind & put others first? Have we really become a self absorbed & selfish society, demanding instant gratification, focussed on our own rights without responsibility?
So many questions. Perhaps this research will give us some answers. At least someone is asking the right questions to find out rather than subjective perceptions or the view trumpeted by the mass media.
