Globe Smart assessment

My Globesmart assessment was similar to that of United States but with two surprising differences. I scored much higher in INTERDEPENDENCE and LONG-TERM than most Americans, which surprised me for two reasons. First, I think of myself as a very independent person, and have been consistently reviewed as such by managers, so I am wondering if I mistook some of the wording of the questions. Secondly, I was surprised to see the results of most Americans are so biased towards the short-term. I would have thought there would be a balance midway between short-term and long-term.

I think my grandparents would probably have a similar profile as myself, since they were very long-term thinkers. They worked hard to save money for their family that they could pass down to their children, while teaching them the value of money and hard work.
