1 - Mean. This is the one that would hurt the most; in fact, it's leaps and bounds above the others.
2 - Ignorant. If this means lacking in knowledge, and it's factual, I could take it, but it would still be a mean remark. If it means inconsiderate, then it ranks right up there with mean.
3 - Lazy. Yeah, well, sometimes I am.
4 - Ugly. I don't much care about this one. It's not like I can do anything about what I look like, only how I present myself. The others are my responsibility.
I like this. It's been great for self-evaluation.

I think another way of looking at what's revealed in these lists is where our insecurities lie. For example, I know I'm not ugly or stupid/rude, so someone could say those things and it wouldn't make one bit of difference to me. But after spending 21 yrs being told I'm mean and lazy, even though I know it's not true, those insults could catch me off-guard and illicit a strong reaction. Ya know?
Excellent point!

Which would insult you more? To be called lazy, ignorant, ugly or mean? Rank them in order from worst to least insulting.
(Actually, this tells a lot about a person. There are no correct answers, but still, I'll answer later so as not to pre-condition anyone.)
(In keeping with the single's forum guidelines...This relates because I once saw it on a single's list of getting-to-know-you-questions. I thought it was an interesting look at what a person values.)
1. mean
2. ignorant
3. ugly
4. lazy

1-mean
2-lazy
3-ignorant
4-ugly
This would be my list, too. Just out of curiosity, do you mean ignorant as in "unknowledgeable" or "rude"? Either way, it holds the same position on my list.

My reasoning is very similar;
Mean: Meanness? My best and worst quality is that I can not be mean(even when I want to soooo bad and they deserve it......kinda). I, unfortunately am a pleaser and have a very difficult time saying no. (have you seen 27 dresses? thats me.) Being accused of being mean, to me, is like being accused of not being a Christian.
Lazy: I heard my whole life, idle hands...., anything worth doing, is worth doing well......., are you sure you did your best?, go check again......Never rest until its done...and done well.... My Grammies voice in my head  I hate laziness. I do have bouts of it though, I call it reading. If anyone even insinuates that I am lazy it offends me greatly. 
Ignorant: Nope
Ugly: I know that I am not ugly.
