Mother Theresa
'Tis better to give than to receive, that's your motto! You are about as generous as they come. You are selfless and give without hesitation. Even when you have nothing, you give what little you have. Your friends can rely on you if they need a little extra cash, or even if they just need to borrow some of your time. Be careful though, as generous people can sometimes be taken advantage of. Overall though, people who give to others are happier and more fulfilled, so keep it up!

Robin Hood
You are pretty quick to open up your wallet or your schedule to help someone out. The welfare of others is more important to you than your own and you believe that what goes around, comes around. Whether it's volunteering to help those in need, donating to one of your favorite causes, or just helping out a friend, you're always happy to give your time and money where it's needed. Just make sure not to give too much! It's okay to be selfish every now and again.

The Cautious Giver
You might not be competing with Mother Theresa and Bill Gates for Most Generous Person of the Year, but you always make an admirable effort to give to charities that you believe in or help out a friend in need. You may even be known to volunteer from time to time! You don't overdo it because you know that you have to look out for yourself first, but when you have the extra money or a bit of extra time, you're happy to share it.

The Skeptical Giver
So, you don't spend your weekends volunteering in a soup kitchen or organizing clothing drives for the homeless. But that doesn't mean you're not a good person. You're plenty generous with your closest friends, and sometimes you're even willing to pick up the check at dinner! You just don't go around looking for ways to be generous, and you make sure you're not taken advantage of. Some people will just keep asking for more and you don't want to start that trend.

Ebenezer Scrooge
Sure, you wouldn't give Tiny Tim any change, and you made your employees work through Christmas. But at the end of the story, you realized the error of your ways. Even the worst miser can become a generous person once they realize what's most important in life! Or, maybe, you decided to just keep being greedy. Either way, congratulations on all that money you've been hoarding over the years!

Mr. Burns
There isn't a generous bone in your body and you're perfectly happy with that. You work hard for what you earn, so why shouldn't you keep it? If other people want to have the same things as you, then they should have to work for it too. Homeless guy on the street? Get a job. Girl Scouts at the door? Send in the hounds! Though other people may think you're greedy, you just believe in the power of individual responsibility.
