How did you do?

8-13: You don�t know much about your neighbours, nor do you want to. You prefer that people keep a respectful distance, and you make it clear that your business is none of theirs.

14-19: You�re polite and friendly to your neighbours, but at the same time you�re no saint. While you don�t go out of your way for those next door, you wouldn�t dream of doing anything disrespectful.

20-24: You�re a good neighbour and are community spirited. Looking out for those around you comes naturally, and you have a quiet confidence that you can expect the same kindness in return.
