  • Look out; here come the ten hardest choices you'll ever have to make.

  • Throughout our lives, we are constantly bombarded with major choices.

  • Which university should I apply to?

  • Should I take that higher paid job on the other side of the country?

  • Do I like red M&M's or blue?

  • Our decisions not only determine our future but also define us and shape our personalities.

  • In this video, Bright Side offers you the opportunity to make ten extremely difficult choices.

  • At the end of the video, we'll tell you what kind of person you are.

  • There are only two possible answers to each question.

  • You need to choose between option A and option B.

  • So, this is like the Kobayashi Maru test in "Star Trek", huh?

  • As you're taking the test, keep track of how many times you choose A or B.

  • Because you'll need these totals at the end of the video to find out your results.

  • You'll only have five seconds to think about each question before we give you the explanation.

  • Don't think too long and go with your gut.

  • You'll get the most accurate results that way.

  • Here we go.

  • Counting down from number ten.

  • Would you rather: A, Be the smartest person around, or B, The most charming?

  • How about the one with the most money?

  • Well, that's not a choice.

  • Now, if you chose A, it means you don't really care about what other people think.

  • You're just fine on your own.

  • If you'd prefer to be charming, other people's opinions are important to you.

  • Question nine.

  • Would you rather: A, Always have to tell the truth, or B, Always lie?

  • Can I just take the Fifth Amendment right now?

  • Now this really is a tough choice.

  • You either can't lie at all or you can never tell the truth.

  • If you choose truth over lies, it indicates that you're a selfless person.

  • Question eight.

  • Would you rather: A, Never have internet access again, or B, Never take an airplane in your life?

  • Or C, Never have to take an enema.

  • That's not a choice, come on.

  • If you have a fear of flying, the choice might be obvious for you.

  • But if you're an avid traveler, we feel your pain.

  • Choosing the internet over flying could mean that you care a lot about the environment.

  • Or you just really love watching our videos on YouTube.

  • Plus, thanks to the internet, you can visit any country you want without ever leaving your apartment.

  • Question seven.

  • Would you rather: A, Find true love, or B, Win a million dollars?

  • Can't we just do both?

  • If you win for the money, it might be an indication that you don't really believe in such things as "true love".

  • You're probably really practical and unemotional.

  • Question six.

  • Would you rather: A, Never be able to speak again, or B, Always have to say everything on your mind?

  • Oh, I like that one.

  • Not being able to speak is really hard, but is it worse that you're always saying what you think?

  • Your girlfriend asks you if she looks good, and you are unable to lie and say, "Yes."

  • Can you imagine the consequences?

  • So, maybe silence is golden, or maybe Bitcoin?

  • Question five.

  • Would you rather: A, Have a photographic memory, or B, Be able to forget anything you want?

  • Um... what was the question again?

  • Having a photographic memory means that you can learn all kinds of things really easily.

  • But, you know, this can be a curse.

  • You remember all the bad things that people normally forget.

  • So, forgetting anything that you want at any time now sounds pretty tempting, right?

  • However, choosing a photographic memory means that you are a strong person.

  • Number four.

  • Would you rather: A, Never have sex again, or B, Never eat your favorite food?

  • Ooooh, that's a tough one.

  • Choosing to never have sex probably means that you prefer to be alone.

  • And if you opted for food, well, you must really love food. I do.

  • Number three.

  • Would you rather: A, Be the only person in the world to live a happy life, or B, Be the only person in the world to live an unhappy life?

  • I'm confused.

  • Now, think about it for a second.

  • This one is extremely hard, too.

  • Can you really be happy in a world where there are only unhappy people?

  • Your friends, your family all having hardships except lucky you?

  • Yeah, I could give it a shot.

  • No, not really.

  • Question two.

  • Would you rather: A, Be the first person to discover an inhabitable planet, or B, Be the inventor of a drug that cures a deadly disease?

  • Ooooh, that's a tricky one.

  • Both of these things are so important for humanity.

  • But curing a disease means that you can save a lot of people right now.

  • Well, discovering a planet would be a huge leap in technology, but only in the long term.

  • So, you'd probably never be able to see it in person anyway.

  • And question one.

  • Would you rather: A, Be poor but be able to help people, or B, Get incredibly rich by hurting other people?

  • Well, this seems obvious, but hmm...

  • If you chose option A, it means you're someone who cares about other people more than yourself.

  • As for choosing B, well, it's pretty much the opposite.

  • Okay, now it's time to see the final results.

  • Surprise! This was a test of how selfish you are.

  • Oh, how sneaky!

  • If you chose A, from one to three times, you're a pretty selfish person.

  • Very few people would like to work with you in a team.

  • It's not that bad, though.

  • It just means that you prefer fighting for yourself to get exactly what you want.

  • But would you really step on other people to get there?

  • If you chose option A from four to six times, that means you're moderately selfish.

  • You're like the Goldilocks of this list: Not too much, not too little, just right.

  • Who's been eating my porridge?

  • Pretty much most people would fall into this category.

  • You can be selfish when you need to be.

  • Now, if you chose option A from seven to ten times, you're the type of person who is always ready to sacrifice your own interests for someone else.

  • But will you ever get what you want in life if you easily give it up for others?

  • Mother Teresa! She's back!

  • So, what were your results? Do you agree with them?
