As I was thinking this through, my first thoughts were about things I wanted- healing for my wife, the chance to play music for a living etc. Then I paused and said, "wow, that's really selfish." So I started thinking of more universal things. I suppose I got the point of the exercise, which is to drive home how selfish I am. I mean, I know it intellectually, but I don't always realize it practially.

Not a shocking realization, but it illustrates a good point nonethelss.

Of course, if Ayn Rand had taken this test her response would probably be, "Exactly- now you're getting it!"
