How 'American' Are You?

[GilliC]

This HuffPost quiz isn't particularly comprehensive and not really aimed at ex-pats, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless:

I am "American-ish" which kind of aligns with how I feel. I definitely have some traditional American tendencies, but also some clear differences.

I'm also curious how many of those statistics would look in other countries. There are a few that I know would swing the other direction, but things like technology improving life? I'm guessing that most countries would end up with a pro-technology majority.

I'm "American as apple pie". I'm surprised!

I got 5 out of 13. I'm "not very American". Not too surprised. I think I'm American but not necessarily a "typical" American.

Sorry, buggy internet duplicated my post and I can't seem to delete it.

9/13 for me. Some of the questions were annoying because neither answer was really right for me. I guess American - ish is probably about right though even though I am naturalized. I feel more American than Dutch.

Oh my goodness, 11/13.
It's been ten years since I lived in the US.

9 out 13 for me too. American-ish. My husband and I both took an online quiz relating our home country (US) to our host country (UK) culture. I was kind of in the middle. He scored as highly American as you can get.
