Test your genneration - How Millennial are you?

[downtoearth]

You can actually test where you fit between Boomer, Gen X, and Millennial...

heyjude - this one's for you.

www.pewresearch.org/quiz/how-millennial-are-you/

-----------------------------------------

I got 83... so I'm Millennial by mind, but I was born in '77 so that means I'm Gen X by age. 

[ijack]

Is candy crush a video game??
I got 94. Born in '78

[pixy0stix]

75. DAMMIT!

I was born in '77 though.

[BeagleMama]

54

That puts me in the middle of Millennial and Gen-X which was my assumption.

Born in 1982.

[penguingrrl]

I got 88. Born in '81.

I was born in '82 and this test has repeatedly labeled me a baby boomer.

I went in and looked at the answers and mine leans way Boomer too - ?

[pixy0stix]

The tv question is skewed on mine. Tuesday is my WATCH ALL THE SHOWS night.

[FloFTW]

I got a 92. I was born in December 1982.

My mother would have the same score, I think.

[gpw]

85, which I find interesting...maybe partly because I haven't read a newspaper because I'm too fucking busy? Or watched TV?

Us Millennials don't watch TV.

Yes it is.

My score is 98. Born in 79.

[secretlyevil]

92% and I was born in '78.

[stephm0188]

27. I'm closer to Baby Boomer. lol

[msmerymac]

64. Born in 1982. I only have a landline for work, okay?!

[2curlydogs]

50. Which is largely correct (born in '78).

But a lot of my answers also reflect the fact that I have small children and a long-ish commute. If I were answering this earlier in my marriage it would be a bit higher. Alas, I have no time for gaming or tv.

[racegrrl714]

I got 63. Born in 79. Guess I'm solidly Gen-X.

[eclaires]

70. Millennial. If I had to guess my tats and piercings pushed me that way...because I also read a newspaper, watched tv and have a landline. Lol.

Okay so for curiosity's sake I went back and changed my answers on 4 of the questions to see if they affected my number. I said no instead to tats and piercings, I said my parents were married (I was torn on this one to begin with because my bio parents divorced but my mom remarried and my stepdad adopted me. So from 9 on, I've had married parents), and I changed my text message number because the number of texts was kind of higher than usual.

That gave me a 21, lol.

Me too.

[kittycatlove]

I got 76, and I'm old, barely a gen-xer, born in '69.

I'm guessing my tattoo and cartilage piercing put me over the edge to a millennial

[zelda25]

53, born in '71. I was afraid my newspaper reading and TV watching and landline owning would put me in Boomer territory, but my social networking and video game playing might have saved me, LOL.

[emilyj]

78, and I was born in 77.

I have a tattoo, and I text a lot. I can't figure out what else skewed me high.

[pinkdutchtulips]

67 born in 74 ... younger half of gen x

[tacosforlife]

88. 1982.

Can I say how much I HATE the way Pew words questions. Those were yes-or-no questions. They did not need "or not" affixed to the end. They also have surveys that start every question with "Do you happen to know..." Except then they list answer choices when that's really a yes-or-no question. GET IT TOGETHER, PEW!

[heyjude]

93

[Velvetshady]

18. That newspaper reading habit gets me every time.



[get off my lawn]

[LoveTrains]

Lol I got a 59. Born in 1980.

[heyjude]

I don't think this pew quiz is an accurate reflection anymore. It came out many years ago and the questions seem very of whatever moment it was created. In 50 years everyone will probably be labeled as a millennial under these questions. And everytime I take it my score goes up even higher because my life much like everyone's has evolved with the times. For example last time I took this we had a landline. Now we don't. Score jacks up.

[emisi]

91, born in 1982. I clicked on the "how others answered part," the interesting one to me was that 93% of the Silent Generation (1928-1945) played a video game within the last 24 hours!

[AJL]

84
Born in 1978.

[itsme]

96, born in 1980. If it had asked if I had played a video game in the last 72 hours then yes. I counted me skimming the local newspaper's website as reading a newspaper.
