I would probably have been more "American" when I was your age, too, Ashley. I think that test was created for folks who've travelled a lot and been around a lot of other cultures. I hope this doesn't sound insulting. Williamsport is not really the center of multiculturalism. ;o) Certainly NORTHUMBERLAND is NOT. :o)

I'm on my third marriage now, I'm 37 years old, I've lived in a few different states, and now live in Dallas, dabbled in many different religions far from the norm in the US, and am married to a Persian man who was raised in Bombay, India. I've probably had a lot more influences from abroad and I'm 20 years older.

Some of those questions had no good answers for me, though.

I want to do more tests... I like it when I can compare my results with others whom I respect and enjoy knowing. Thanks for taking it also. :o)

I do agree about you having more life experience, but at the same time I really don't want to "see the world" lol I know it's close minded, but I'm happy where I am. I don't wanna leave my family and I don't need to do any self-searching because I did that already while I had years to myself. That sounds odd coming from an 18 year old, but I suppose it should be. I didn't grow up with friends around so I learned who I was and what I wanted without dealing with outside influences or petty teenage drama. I'm going way off topic here lol I like comparing stuff too. It's interesting.

It's the happy that counts. I'm glad you're happy Ashley and that you'll have many more years to be so. ;o)

I got 38%. The lower score is probably a result of me not being able to think of all 4 states that started with a w.

LOL, I only got three, too.... there's another one? Wyoming, Wisconsin, Washington, ....?

I drive a '98. :o)

Shahram, that's so funny, but it makes a lot of sense. :o)

36% here. :) I think liking American cheese skewed my results upward a bit. ;)

Sera, have you never had brie? Oooh, it's lovely. Why didn't they have Swiss as an option. I don't eat brie often. I did, though, when I was on Atkins. It's super high in fat. My favorite cheese is swiss.

I just woke up from a headache nap and now I'm writing to an angel about cheese.

I love you, Sera.

wyndhover July 3 2005, 23:25:08 UTC

((giggles))

I love you, too! :)

I think Swiss is probably one of my very favourite cheeses. I like swiss, colby, and mozarrela best, I think. :) I've never had brie, so I had to go with the only one I knew I liked at all. :)
