That you tend to think you are “above average” or better than others in many ways.

About 75% of the time I was concerned as much as others where on most issues.
3. Did your results follow a pattern? Explain your answer.
My results followed the pattern of about 30% who took the quiz who thought they were concerned as much as others.
4. If results did follow a pattern, do you think you were demonstrating self-enhancement or do you believe you really are more socially concerned than others?
I don’t feel like I was more concerned than others, I feel I was just an average person who shows concern, but not like starting my own charities and foundations kind of person.
5. Why do you think so many people show the self-enhancement phenomenon? Because they want to try and prove to others they really do care, and maybe to feel good about themselves.
6. What are the pros and cons of this behavior?
Pros would be more people would focus on a certain issue or cause and maybe attract others to help with it. Cons would be getting cocky about a certain issue and thinking you are a superhuman or higher above others just because you donated or somehow showed more concern than others.
