Which Social Values Tribe are you?

This survey assesses human social values by asking questions about your view of the world, and about your personal goals, wishes, hopes, dreams, and expectations. There are no right or wrong answers to such questions so please be as honest and as complete as you can be when filling them out.

The survey is approximately 30 questions long and takes 10 to 12 minutes to complete. When you have finished it you will be classified into the social values tribe you show the strongest similarity to and be given a more detailed profile of your tribe. This survey is a much shorter version of the standard one Environics uses to diagnose people's values and tribal memberships, and so it has some (known) error surrounding it. However, it successfully classifies users into their proper tribes more than 7 times in 10, on average.

Pretty accurate....especially in terms of what I like about working.

...New Aquarians.

Spending it: No frills, just function; will pay for quality and convenience.

Saving it: Gotta risk some to make some; I know what I'm doing.

Giving it away: Medical and social causes.

Stealing it: Depends on the situation, but don't cheat the little guy

:hi:

That was cool. Printing and saving to read later.

Also printing.

edit: I can't count.

That's fun.

To the letter!

I'm in good company!

Never thought of myself as a baby boomer though. Thought that group ended before me.

Not surprising at all, I gave it a 9 for accuracy, but probably should have been a 10. I think a lot of people here will get this too. Neat survey!

Which works for me, 'cause I'm a proud Aquarius.

Yes! 2000 years of Pisces down, 2000 years of Aqaurius in full effect! It's our age now! Wooooo!

(Sorry, but have you ever met an Aquarius who WASN'T ridiculously proud of their sign?)

I also show a similarity to New Aquarians...

http://tinyurl.com/38nyw

Pretty accurate.

and I don't really agree with it....

My first thought was, "Hedonist"?!?! :wtf: But, a combination of those two isn't ALL wrong.

I don't agree at all with the above, but I do certainly identify with the below:


Similar to Autonomous Post-materialists

who knew?

that fits a lot better.

Key Values:
Self-exploration -- well, duh...why else would I take such a test?
Community -- not really
Experimentation -- only somewhat
Hedonism -- not really

I am more a Disconnected Entusiast.

I for instance fit in better as a Cosmopolitan Modernist than I do as a 'Social Hedonist' Bah.

Rational Hedonist maybe ( ;
(I appreciate a man in crossword boxers)

{rlg}

In many ways that is accurate but I would not call myself a Hedonist.

Funny...didnt think Id fit there....

.

with signs of "Connected Enthusiasts"

with just a shade of New Aquarian. Also glad to know that my hedonism is recognized. Too social to be an Autonomous Rebel. However, a couple of points have me confused.

1) It has me as a boomer. Did the baby boom occur later in Canada? I was born in '67, and I always thought that was firmly within the bounds of Gen X.
2) "Higher than average proportion are white collar workers OR unemployed" - Feast or famine, huh?
3) Shirley MacLaine, Celine Dion??? - Don't know if that's the kind of company I would want to keep!

Cool test, thanks a_c!

Interesting. n/t

Looks like the AR's are well represented here! :7 :headbang:

That was fascinating, but I don't take Madonna or Celine Dion ( x( ) as icons to live by. Ugh.

It's pretty much right on the money in the "age is a state of mind" and "work to live; don't live to work" category"

But I do believe in saving $$$ for the future, and am not quite so hedonistic as that profile suggests.

Edit: My motivations are more in line with Autonomous Rebel: work has to mean something, individuality, and questioning of authority and institutions.

http://3sc.environics.net/surveys/3sc/tribeOverview.asp

Close ties to autonomous rebel.

But I don't think it's especially accurate. The demographics maybe, but I'm not particularly rebellious. I see myself as more of a law and order, by-the-book type of person. Go figure!

Just like Madonna.

Sort of fits...sort of.

Key Values

* Adaptability (yes)
* Concern for the less fortunate (yes)
* Concern for the environment (yes)
* Respect for education (yes)
* Contempt for traditional authorities (yes, within reason; I'm hardly an anarchist either)
* Hedonism (I wish :P)

Money Orientation

Making it: I'd never do work I didn't believe in.(yes)
Spending it: When I must consume at all, I consume with conscience.(yes)
Saving it: I'm not saving much now, but when I do I'll call the shots.(yes)
Stealing it: No, thanks.(yes)
Giving it away: Environmental and social causes. (yes)

All in all, pretty accurate. :)

I was surprised at the label but the details fit mostly. If you need a fellow tribe member to show you the hedonism ropes , let me know, I have lots of experience lol ;-) To start, hit this :smoke:, and then wash it down with this :toast: .

funny it has me as a boomer. I'm genx 1967

The page won't load for me! must be their server...

...is there a club to join?

I see a trend here.

On edit... I'm in good company. Hillary and Bill Clinton, Martin Luther King, Jr., Gloria Steinem, John Lennon.

There is no answer for gay men or women (except in MA). They need to have a choice of "living with partner" or something to that extent.

It is annoying though. I just went to a new doctor last week and got annoyed at the forms. I have never seen a form anywhere that has a choice for Other. It is always Married, Single, Divorced, Widowed. Makes one feel like a non-person. Damn it... I am not single. (Well, maybe soon, but not yet.)

Very interesting. Thanks for the link, achtung circus.

with the "you are here" dot off the chart. figures
