On a scale ranging from 0 to 10 how much do you gossip ?

The scale:
0 – no gossip at all
10 – all the time and all day long

I believe it’s a self explanatory question.

Gossip can:
-reinforce – or punish the lack of – morality and accountability;
-reveal passive aggression, isolating and harming others;
-serve as a process of social grooming, building a sense of community with shared interests, information, and values;
-begin a courtship that helps one find their desired mate, by counseling others; or,
-provide a peer-to-peer mechanism for disseminating information in organizations
