Speaking as a feminist myself . . . .

You Are 94% Feminist

You are a total feminist. This doesn't mean you're a man hater (in fact, you may be a man).
You just think that men and women should be treated equally. It's a simple idea but somehow complicated for the world to put into action.

Do you have Asperger's Syndrome?

On The Busybody, Loren Rosson points to a test which asks What's Your AQ?. You can take the test and find the answer. I find that I come out with a pretty low score of 13, a long way below the requisite 32-50 that might indicate Asbergers; indeed I appear to score much lower than the average male or female computer scientist (21), and a bit lower than the average man (18) and the average woman (15).

What American accent do you have?

On Feeble Mindings, Stephen Carlson links to a nice online quiz on "What American accent do you have?" Well, we've been in America for almost two years now, so I thought I'd see how I faired:

New York City. You are most definitely from New York City. Not New Jersey, not Connecticut. If you are from Jersey then you can probably get into New York City in 10 minutes or less.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!
We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?




I rather like the "definitely" in the above. Somehow, I don't think it's set up for British English speakers, but it shows that I've not yet picked up anything of the North Carolinian accent, perhaps surprising in that I can drop "y'all" in a pretty good accent into any conversation now, and I am almost able to do it without feeling self-conscious.
