Millennials quiz from Pew Research

[ghost of miles]

My dad just sent me a link to this:

Millennials Quiz

I scored a 12, which places me solidly at the beginning of the Boomer generation...even though I was actually born at the start of Gen X.

I don't know what this says about me. I'm 51 years old but I scored 77 - more in common with the Millennial generation.

[Niko]

scored 23 although I was born in 1981 so I am an older member of the millenial generation; guess i should be worried :-)

[medjuck]

I scored about a 30 even though I'm of teh supposed "Silent" generation. (B ased on my friends I can only say "silent, my ass".

[Quincy]

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, a 6. I must be soaking in a jar filled with formaldehyde

33 low end for Gen Xer. Considering I work in tech this is probably bad in some respects but probably healthy in others. Last thing I want to do tonight is tweet about Housewife's of Orange Country. No thanks, there are dogs to walk, instruments to play, books to read and jazz vinyl to spin.

However during baseball season the TV watching goes way up.

The questions made me appear hipper than I really am. They just as easily could have asked, "How many 78 RPM records have you played in the last 24 hours?" I'd have been sunk.

Me too.

42, but I am really surprised such a well-regarded research group would put together such a stupid serious of questions. Anyone with no tats, no piercings, no video games (in my entire life, after a brief time playing pong on an Atari player) and who reads a newspaper every day isn't close to a "Millenial".

If Boomers are the Me Generation, does that make Millennials the iGeneration?

Hard to believe that what holds a generation together are tattoos, piercings, and a disdain for newspapers.

iGeneration, I like it! Quick, protect it before Apple gets ahold of it!

I got a 32, and that's with me not texting in the last 24 hours...

I got 11 and I was quite mystified by the last question.

Conservative

Moderate

Liberal

I don't understand this grouping. Where is "Socialist"? Where is "Communist"? Where is "other even farther left"? (Which is where mine would have gone.)

Does "moderate" mean a little bit conservative?

scored 23 although I was born in 1981

Same....but I'm a 1959 kid.

[Matthew]

I'm scared, I scored a 75. What the heck????

13 -

qualifies me as an extremely intelligent mulatto male of good taste, strange sexual habits, yet an upstanding member of my community.

5 - Does that make me dead?

You don't own a cell phone do you? I think at least 2 questions dealt with that which lowered my score. And here I thought maintaining a FB page and having played a video game made me so young. I'm at the young end of Boomerdom btw.

[Noj]

39. No tattoos or piercings. Haven't owned a video game system since the original Nintendo, but I'm on Facebook and I text regularly.

I think the strange sexual habits explain the last part.

39. No tattoos or piercings. ....

And you are allowed to live in the L.A. area?????

Does "moderate" mean a little bit conservative?

I got a 34, but I said that I didn't play video games. Actually, I believe that pollsters consider you to play video games if you play solitaire on the computer, which I do every time I am on the computer.

MG, Ann Coulter says that moderates are people who are too stupid to have figured out by now whether they are liberal or conservative!

81. Thank goodness I never got that tattoo...
