Are you a Hippie ??
« on: February 18, 2011, 07:09:26 AM »
Well, are you ??

http://www.gotoquiz.com/are_you_a_hippie

Me - 0% Hippie, WOW that's a shocker.......
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

You are 35% hippie.
 
You're in the middle, leaning towards the non-hippie side of things, but you're not afraid to try out some hippie philosophies. Good going! An open mind is all a person really needs to lead a happy life.

I'm 16%, but under protest.  Several questions were either ambiguous, didn't have an answer that fit me, or both.

You are 13% hippie.
 
Ok, you conservative soul. Do you even believe in global warming? Loosen that necktie a little, and try some organic food. It actually does taste better. And go to a farmer's market--they're fun.

21% and I too protest (but not in a hippie-ish way)  "Are you a vegetarian", and there's no answer for "I kill critters for my own consumption?

My score should have been lower, but some of the questions did not provide accurate responses and I was forced to settle for what was available.

Got to say this "test" was more stupiderest than the ones in Cosmo.

I got 1%. 

If the questions were arranged slightly better, I would have scored better.  For instance, there was not a single question about the categorization of hippies.

A good question would have been:

How would you classify hippies?

1) A valid lifestyle
2) A way of being closer to nature
3) A bit annoying, but to each their own
4) Not human
5) Zombies (Except they smell worse)

8%, but I probably would have scored higher had I been able to choose multiple choices (for milk, I drink whole, goat, and soy, for transpo, I ride a bike, walk, and drive an SUV depending on the circumstances).

13% on the obviously biased and poorly-constructed survey composed by a potential food source.

0%.

I had long hair in the 60's and early 70's, and did drugs, but I was more of a long-haired greaser than hippie. Today I'm neither.

21% and  I thought it would be higher. What's wrong with being a Hippie? Whatever that is anyway.

1% hippie.

I am doubly surprised. First, I'm surprised I rose above zero percent. More importantly, I am shocked that so many of my fellow APSers scored so much higher in the hippie hierarchy. I may have to reconsider my choice of Internet hangouts.

But at least I beat Harold Tuttle's 35%

I'm 72 yo.

Often a really inappropriate response-set. Like none for "Retired" on the job question. I probably would have been 99% hippie if all the responses contained a "Don't Care" selection.  My one comment thereon is that the author him/her-self had a very narrow outlook on people and generated questions which really only related to his/her own world view.

Eg.: question on how you carried your kids.  I used to carry both of them, one under each arm. Like you'd carry a pair of puppies.  Nowadays, either one of them could carry both me and the other kid, one under each arm.

Oh, and I haven't had a haircut since 1987. (No, I'm not bald.)

This is quite funny.  I don't have a problem buying produce at a farmer's market, heck, our next house will be a farm.  I prefer organic food, raising/hunting your own meat/produce is as organic as you can get.  I want to eat what G_d made, not what Monsanto Frankenstein-ed.  Necktie, heck I haven't worn a necktie in over 10 years.  The only way I will wear another necktie is for a wedding or a funeral.  

edit:  Some ideas about solar/wind energy isn't wrong, I just don't believe in the religion of hippie-ism, yes it is a religion.
