6Foot2 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Link: How Millennial Are You? | Pew Research Center Take our 14 item quiz and we’ll tell you how "Millennial" you are, on a scale from 0 to 100, by comparing your answers with those of respondents to a scientific nationwide survey. You can also find out how you stack up against others your age. My result: http://i.imgur.com/CMSqB4L.png I thought my score would be lower. 1
DJ-1701 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Wow, that surprised me... thought it would be higher.
DJ-1701 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 42...hmmm @witch Oh you say that's the answer to everything! 1
localzuk Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 The quiz seems a little flawed. Eg. Landline and Cell phone - In the US, internet can be provided via cable without a phone line. I'm apparently a Gen-X'er.
Duranis Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) 74, was born in '81 so pretty much spot on. Edit: Yeah only reason we have a landline is for internet. Edited April 18, 2016 by Duranis

I'm apparently a Gen-X'er. Can here as well? I've said cell phone only, based on the fact that I don't have a phone connected to my landline!
Sagima Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 83. which puts me well into the millennial lot but i'm really an X'er
hardtailstar Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 77 But who has Myspace??!! Some of those questions really need updating!
3s-gtech Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 65, which is a little off but not much. However: This is part of a Pew Research Center series of reports exploring the behaviors, values and opinions of teens and twenty-somethings that make up the Millennial Generation. I'm a Millenial, but I'm not in those age groups.
Novalee Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) I got 92. But I don't really understand what that means... :-/ ! Plus this was written in 2010 so...I guess text messages should have probably included Facebook messages etc. *edit* if I update text messages to include online messaging services as well it pushes me up to 97.

localzuk Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Can here as well? I've said cell phone only, based on the fact that I don't have a phone connected to my landline! You still have a landline though...
unixman_again Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) 2, although I'm a baby boomer. It looks like I have the lowest school so far - no doubt my score is heavily influenced by my lack mobile phone. Edited April 18, 2016 by unixman_again

So in this case you may have an outlook to life more like those born post 1981. So more new/modern standards of thinking. Where as I may have a more older soul and philosophy to life. (Even though I was born in the 80's). Anyway, bit of fun.
LeMarchand Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 10. 2, although I'm a baby boomer. It looks like I have the lowest school so far - no doubt my score is heavily influenced by my lack mobile phone. [ATTACH=CONFIG]36286[/ATTACH] At least I don't have the lowest score! Surprisingly age accurate, though. I thought I could see where I scored "badly", but some of the results seem odd: More "Silents" played video games than the others? Millennials don't have social media profiles? Marriages seem to be lasting longer? Fewer people are getting piercings? 100% of older people have piercings? Unless I'm suffering from Monday Morning lack of reading comprehension!
bald_pig Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 You still have a landline though... But I don't have a landline phone, which is what it asks!
gshaw Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) 33 for me, mainly due to lack of tattoos or piercings it seems Why is there no Gen Y in there? Edit: apparently that's Millennial now, I thought they were two separate things before? Personally think there's a big difference between someone born in 80's compared to late 90's \ 00's, which must surely be getting towards having their own label by now? Edited April 18, 2016 by gshaw

Edit: apparently that's Millennial now, I thought they were two separate things before? Gen Y = Millennials Gen Z = ??? Apparently 'Founders' if you go with an MTV survey that asked what name they would pick. http://adage.com/article/cmo-strategy/gen-z-post-9-11-generation-called-founders/301578/ Edited April 18, 2016 by DJ-1701 1
korifugi Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 96 here - born in 1980. Being born in 1980, I'm apparently a Gen-'X'er still not developed any bloody mutant powers yet though...
