The “Where You Should Live” Test

My Score: Downtown Loft

I scored 30 out of 40 on urban-rural and 32 out of 40 on land intensity.

The test says people know me as: The Yuppie. I do not identify as one, my values are not bland enough, and I do not have the money.

I am supposed to say: “Sushi is so 1990s. How about Lebanese?” But if sushi is 1990s, Lebanese is 1980s. The food of tomorrow is Iranian, and the food of the day after is soy patties.

The test says: “Congratulations. You are the coolest type of person. Or you like to think you are, anyway. Your score indicates you are a through and through urbanite who likes to live in the densest, most central part of town. Realistically, though, you’re probably a ‘new money’ type who, although you claim to hate chains, still occasionally sneaks a Big Mac and always, always gets your coffee from Starbucks.”

I am not and I do not. I have never eaten a Big Mac. I only get coffee from Starbucks when there is no other coffee. And I am not ‘new money’ – or much money.

“The main difference between you and The Bohemian Gentrifier is that you have a better job.”

I do not and I think I am more of a Bohemian Gentrifier, although I do not approve of that profile, either.

Examples of places I should live: Manhattan, Chicago’s Loop.

Well, in New Orleans I do not want one of those lofts on Julia Street, I want a Creole cottage in the old Treme. What does that make me?

I actually wrote this post several weeks ago, linking to The Where Should You Live Test – and now, as Kitty points out, the test is no longer active. I have learned my lesson – if you are posting links to this kind of game, you must have the post go up that very day in case what you are linking to, disappears!

Axé.

    “This test is no longer active. It may be re-activated in the future, so if you’re hardcore about taking this test, check back later.”

    I suspect I am probably the unabomber type.

  2. OMG what a pain! OK I will stop this habit of scheduling posts to appear weeks into the future. And I’ll revise the post. Thank you!

  3. I too tried to take the test and couldn’t find it.

    Instead I took another and discovered that I was Katherine Hepburn: high cheekbones, witty dialogue and lots of spunk.

  4. For people wanting to take this test, there’s another more serious real estate one, Find Your Spot. You can google it. It is rather interesting, although it is commercial.
