Any action you perform on WikiAnswers will generate a contribution of some kind. Whether the activity generates one or more points depends on the activity. Chatting, forum entries, and merging may not generate actual points, and the totals of your points could be adjusted by future guidelines. The point of wikianswers is not simply to generate points, although the points indicate your comparative interest and aid to the site.
Your total WikiAnswers contribution points are calculated as the sum of all of the contribution points you have earned. These include first answers, edits, organizational actions, questions asked, and community contributions. All of these points come under the heading of "Contributions" in your WikiAnswers profile. Trust points are slightly different. Contributors do not directly earn these points through their contributions; they are awarded trust points by other WikiAnswers users. Therefore, trust points are not counted as contributions, and do not add to the contribution points total in a WikiAnswers profile.
Trust points do not entirely help you get hired to work for WikiAnswers, since actually getting paid to work for WikiAnswers is different from the amount of trust points you received online.

They are simply an indication of how trusted the last contributor is as a member of the WikiAnswers community.All answers should be critically considered. For reliable advice of any sort you need to consult a qualified professional in your local area. Please see our Terms Of Use for more details.Trust Points do not account for any special rewards, or deals; however, the more you have, the more respected you are in the eyes of others, and, the better your work is.

If you look at the username or ID that answers the question, it would show the amount of trust points (ID's do not have trust points, so trusting them is more of a last resort). When you look at the username, the higher the number is of trust points, the more reliable the answer is.
