If I have to watch "American Idol" to lower my score, then that motherfucker damned well can stay at 41%!

about 'putting on accents.' How do you answer that if you have a natural accent?

8. 80%, I'm such a snob
"You're a happy-go-lucky social chameleon, comforable in any echelon. Even though you enjoy the odd swipe at your neighbor's taste in wives, you're still a well-rounded human being who'd never dream of judging his fellow man on the color of his shoes."

Which is odd, because I do judge based on the color of shoes. :-) Well, only if it's brown shoes with a dark suit. Just looks bad, you know.

But see, I would be a little bit embarrassed to be caught with a National Enquirer. And the foreign language accent thing got me too, I think.

I'm such a snob that I'm embarrassed that I got such a high score on being a snob.

I simply can't act like a prig. It's always wise to act polite and be courteous to people and not to look down at those who haven't had the same advantages that I have.

I also straddle the fence on two categories of Meyers-Briggs. Coincidence?

Well, I enjoy good food and drink; but I also fully expect the debutante to vomit down the front of her dress.

And, having been raised in Ohio and now living in Wisconsin, bowling is justly considered a sacrament.

According to the quiz, I am safely out of super snob territory but a couple more sun-dried tomatoes or a couple more trips to Dean & De Luca and I will veer dangerously toward the stuck up. I used to be called stuck up when I was younger. I like to think of it as "not suffering fools gladly." Now I just avoid people.

69. 67% This is hysterically funny... especially for PBS.
"You're safely out of super-snob territory. But watch yourself- a couple more sun-dried tomatoes here and few more trips to Dean & DeLuca there, and you might be veering dangerously towards the stuck-up. Best go and touch some grubby sick people to keep your inner snob at bay."

Who knew that PBS could be so... EDGY?

Anyone here see the series? It was really enlightening; particularly how willing everyone was to fall into their assigned roles. The family which "owned" the Manor House morphed into these ugly, snobbish aristocrats practically overnight.

Without any 21st Century points of reference towards modern social norms to regulate their behavior, the family treated the "servants" like, well, SERVANTS.

Fascinating stuff.

But I'm a closet snob. I promise not to speak behind your back until you're out of earshot.

87. 54%, but not fair
Imported Brie? Yes, French Brie is imported, but it is not a high-price item.
Have I talked with the Person bagging my Groceries?
Well, in supermarkets here nobody bags for me, one even has to buy the bags here. (Ok, stateside and in classier shopping places I talk to the person bagging my goods)

AFAIK I can't vote for American Idol (I did never vote for German Idol either)

:shrug:

And where is the instant 20% bonus for living in Europe?

95. Eek! I'm 61% Snob!
LOL!

I protest one of the last questions though. The one about my son marrying the lap dancer. The choices are "gaining a daughter" or "losing a son". I chose "losing a son" BUT the intent of the question isn't about the girl, it's about the separation from your child. The wife-to-be could be anybody, from debutante to lap dances and I'd feel the same way.

99. 63%..."It's touch and go, M.
You're a long way off joining the ranks of the blini-nibbling, bubbly-sipping, double-barreled brigade, but then you're no champion of the proletariat either. If you haven't got a Volvo, a Golden Retriever, and 2.4 kids soon, you soon will have, because the middle classes beckon."

Which is bullshit, because I have a Honda, a Great Pyrenees, and we've been fixed. No kids, EVER.

The rest is correct, though. ;-)
