According to an article on human altruism (in last week's The Economist), I would be a "strong reciprocator": willing to sacrifice resources to be kind to those who are being kind, and to punish those who are being unkind. Significantly, strong reciprocators will behave this way even if doing so provides no prospect of material rewards in the future.

This is sort of related to the previous post, but in a very vague and obtuse way. I am not thinking very clearly this week. I'll blame it on the allergies.
