We live in a world that offers many ways to live, believe, think and act. However, many of us prefer to keep to old habits we've developed earlier in life, without having to take the risk of trying new things. Where do you stand on this scale - Are you open or closed?

While you are not obsessive about this, it does make you feel great to try something you've never tried before, seeing a place you've never been or trying a form of entertainment you've never tried before. You have a higher-than-average level of open mindedness and you are willing to try many things. You DO probably have a core of things that does not change - certain friends, behaviors, little rituals and beliefs. However, this is normal and healthy, and while you are not eager to try EVERYTHING, you do try more than the average person does.
You are eager to try new experiences, and, in fact, you get quite sad if you're stuck in a rut without new things to... READ MOREYou are eager to try new experiences, and, in fact, you get quite sad if you're stuck in a rut without new things to explore and discover. You probably like learning new skills, developing new hobbies, visiting places you've never been, meeting people from all walks of life. After all, life is a great buffet of experiences, and it'll be a shame not to take advantage of all of it. You love trying new things, new foods, new ways to dress and act and take care of yourself. You're probably open to new health trends and new technological trends as they come out.
You have the average amount of openness to new experiences. You have a strong core of habits, hobbies, friends and... READ MOREYou have the average amount of openness to new experiences. You have a strong core of habits, hobbies, friends and loves in your life, and you don't usually require something new to feel like you've had a good day. However, once in a while, when it's been some time since you've tried something new, you get that itch for something new that you must scratch. So every so often you do something to change things up, and because it's not that common for you, it feels all the better for it. In short, you stand in the middle between being totally open to new experiences and being totally closed to them.

READ MOREYour answers indicate that, while you may appreciate the thought of new things, you rarely feel the need to actually try them. You probably have a complete set of the things you like, like hobbies of interests you've had most of your life, old friends, the food and music and entertainment you love the most and the people that make you feel best. Once in a year or a few years, you try something new, usually for the thrill and relief of going back to the things you love, being proven right once again that most new experiences are not for you.
Your answers indicate that you abhor change. You believe that the hobbies, friends, food, music and entertainment you... READ MOREYour answers indicate that you abhor change. You believe that the hobbies, friends, food, music and entertainment you have now are all you'll ever need. As far as you're concerned, you've found everything you wanted, and there is nothing to gain by trying new things. Even if they ARE found to be better, you just can't be bothered. The time of trying new things has passed, and you are more than happy to remain within your 'box'. That means staying at home a lot, eating the foods you love, watching the genres you love and keeping to the places you love. Other people can have fun with their new experiences, you just want the old.
