07.15.06 The Rejuvenile Quiz
A sidebar to the recent Detroit Free Press story on rejuveniles featured a quiz meant to calculate just how much of a rejuvenile you are. It’s silly stuff, but good fun anyway.
Do you have a child-like sense of curiosity and playfulness, even though you’re pushing 30, 40, 50 or older? To find out, take this Free Press quiz inspired by Christopher Noxon’s new book. Answer yes or no to each question.
1. You watch the Cartoon Network (“Adult Swim” included) at least once a month.
2. You drive a car that qualifies as cute, like a Honda Element, PT Cruiser or Mini Cooper.
3. You’ve eaten cupcakes within the last year.
4. You still wear clothing items (Converse All-Stars, Juicy sweatpants) with youth appeal.
5. You buy comic books or see the movies inspired by them.
6. Your desk at work contains three or more objects that qualify as toys.
7. You’ve visited Disney World without bringing along children.
8. You’ve been out of college at least a year but live with your parents.
9. You’d rather watch “The Daily Show” than the network news.
10. You’ve gone to Starbucks for a latte and wound up buying yourself a teddy bear.
How many yes answers did you have?
Zero: Take a play break immediately.
One to four: You still know how to have fun.
Five to eight: Your inner child is thriving.
Nine or 10: Lighten up on the video games and watch a little C-Span.
By the way, I scored a 7, with no’s to the questions on cars (proud minivan owner), family (left home at 17 and never looked back) and teddy bears (do they even sell teddy bears at Starbucks?). Which means I need more C-Span? Please.
