Just how American are you?
Edited on Wed Apr-20-05 02:23 PM by Squeech
Apparently it's a test.

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=5644794367446528456

I'm gonna go take it now.

On edit: I'm sure you're all at the edge of your seats wondering how I did, so here are my results:

Tourist
You scored 43 Patriotic, 24 Lazy, 15 Power Hungry, and 100 General Knowledge!
Congrats! You know a lot about America, without actually possessing the personal stereotypical American characteristics. Perhaps you are an American who simply doesn't act as lazy and power hungry as most of the others. Or perhaps you googled a few questions to get some answers..or maybe you just paid attention in class?




My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 60% on Patriotic

You scored higher than 20% on Lazy

You scored higher than 70% on Power Hungry

You scored higher than 99% on Gen Knowledge

General Knowldege? Some of that was just silly trivia.

well I got 91 so I wonder what I got wrong
Girl scout pledge or soldier's prayer?
I got 12 on power hungry and 25 on lazy. Does a 26 mean you are lazier?
I wonder how they figure those things. How do you define patriotic?

3. 31 Patriotic, 38 Lazy, 6 Power Hungry, and 94 General Knowledge
Edited on Wed Apr-20-05 02:28 PM by Dark_Leftist
Well, at least you've passed American History and Geography class. Perhaps school is all you are active in. Hopefully all that time you spend in front of the TV is at least spent watching educational shows like National Geographic. You should get out every now and then and experience the world around you, other than what the TV says. The good news is: you know your history and geography, and you're not out to hurt anyone :) at least you're a nice American! Keep in mind, however, that laziness is one factor foreigners hate about Americans..you might want to work on that..

You scored higher than 54% on Patriotic

You scored higher than 84% on Lazy

You scored higher than 21% on Power Hungry

You scored higher than 85% on Gen Knowledge

7. So did I.
So by answering that one, did you get it wrong for general knowledge, or did it lower your patriotism?

Fun, but easy test. Wish they'd always give an "other" option with multiple guess questions. And why oh why do they make your register. . .oh forget it. . .I know why. Thank goodness for dummied up email addresses.

Always truly felt like a tourist but more to this planet than the country.

Not totally at home here on "the out patient ward for the universe"

"And congrats on having the lowest "power-hungry" score so far!"

AKA. . . biggest pushover and total wus. Sheesh.

25. Military Intelligence
MilitaryIntelligence
You scored 56 Patriotic, 18 Lazy, 12 Power Hungry, and 94 General Knowledge!
Proud and smart. You're not lazy and you don't go over the top trying to control things and people around you. You'd make a great member of military intelligence since you're willing to fight, but your brain is a rare thing among soldiers. Ever stop and wonder what you might be fighting for? Probably not, since you're such a proud American.


Oddly enough, I was in military intelligence during my Air Force years. I do, however, question what we're fighting for often.
