Pew Internet Quiz

How Techie Are You Quiz from Pew Internet & American Life Project

Where Do You Fit?

"Do you cringe when your cell phone rings? Do you suffer from withdrawal when you can't check your Blackberry? Do you rush to post your vacation video to your Web site? The questions below allow you to place yourself in one of the categories in the Pew Internet Project's Typology of Information and Communication Technology Users. To identify the typology group to which you belong, please answer the questions below. When you press the 'Calculate My Results' button, a new page will tell you in which group you fit, along with a description of the general characteristics of that group."

I know we shouldn't require staff to take this quiz, but I think it would be fascinating to see where individual staff members fall in this continuum.
