There is a big difference between having a sense of humor and being able to make people laugh. A hearty sense of humor requires a readiness to spot and respond to comedy when it is offered to you. This doesn’t necessarily make you a good joke teller, though. The ability to deliver a funny tale requires other, more sophisticated, traits. These include flexibility, social maturity, intelligence, high empathy, and, of course, a good sense of humor.

Take the following quiz to determine whether you have the capacity to be a comedic cut-up.

1) I consider myself more of an extrovert than an introvert. True
