How Millenial are YOU?

I keepTweetdeck open on my desktop while working. I find that it's a great way of picking up news and notes during the day, even though the unmistakable sound of an incoming tweet irritates some of my co-workers.

This morning I saw a tweet from @GrahamAttwell, informing us all about the Pew Research Millenial Quiz. You can take the quiz and see for yourself just how "Millenial" you really are.

I love quizzes like this, so of course I bolted over the the Pew website and took the quiz. Didn't take very long. I am strangely pleased to tell you I scored an 88 out of 100.

Not sure what this means, exactly - but I think it was my texting score that pushed me over the generational top. That or spending last week with my arcade-savvy gamer nephews. Will be interested to hear what kinds of scores the rest of you wild things get.

Uh oh, 59. I don't text.

I was disappointed. I scored a 92 - which means I'm more millenial than Gen X. Sigh. I always thought I wore the Gen X badge rather proudly. I think it was the tattoos, piercing, and texting that pushed me over the edge.
Although my friends and I had a discussion - when they refer to reading newspaper, do they mean paper, online, or either?

I don't know if I should be pleased or embarassed that I scored 99. And that was with no tatoos or weird piercings :-o

Anyone else impressed by the millennial grammar in the quiz?

In the past 24 hours, *did you* watch more than an hour of television programming, *or not?*

Surely, the answer is yes for everybody? ;-)

I was honest about my TV watching and my newspaper reading. But I do text a lot. Yeah, that's it. Texting.

I'm only a 64%. I guess not texting really killed my score.

[Lisa Cheney-Steen]

I was only a 71 -- no tattoos and only one piercing.

I'm pretty sure it would have upset my teenagers if I had made it all the way to Millenial though.

47 - I guess I really am a Gen X'er.

[mraymond]

I was a 75...think it was the tattoo that pushed me towards millennial.

[Cali Morrison]

Wow...88? You killed me...I'm only 64% Millennial... although, I'm not sure I see that as a bad thing...
