About This Quiz

There are some who are perfectly embodied by living in the here and now. That's not the case for the majority of us, though. Most of us have traits and tendencies that can be traced all the way back to the era that suits us best. We don't know how all of it works exactly, but we do know enough about it to compare your answers to time period appropriate standards. 

Without time machines available for public use, it has been impossible to accurately place yourself in the time period that your traits and quirks match up with perfectly. Now that we're in the atomic age, we have the technology to make it possible. Maybe we don't have a time machine, but we do have a series of questions that can analyze you and compare you to traits of eras like the Wild West and the Victorian era. 

As you respond, choose the answer that truly resonates with you. Once we feel like we know you well enough to be your best friend, we'll take your answers and run them against the known traits of bygone eras and current times. Will you embody the era you've always felt connected with, or will it be something else?
