The Pew Research Center has developed a quiz on its website to help users determine on a scale of 100 how millennial they are.
The quiz is comprised of the following 15 questions:
- In the past 24 hours, did you watch more than an hour of television programming, or not?
- In the past 24 hours, did you read a daily newspaper, or not?
- In the past 24 hours, did you play video games, or not?
- Thinking about your telephone use, do you have… (only a landline / only a cellphone / both)
- In the past 24 hours, about how many text messages, if any, did you send or receive on your cell phone?
- How important is being successful in a high-paying career or profession to you personally?
- Do you think more people of different races marrying each other is a … (good thing for society / bad thing for society / doesn’t make a difference on society)
- In the past 12 months, have you contacted a government official, or not?
- Have you ever created your own profile on any social networking site such as MySpace, Facebook or LinkedIn, or haven’t you done this?
- How important is living a very religious life to you personally?
- Were your parents married during most of the time you were growing up, or not?
- Do you have a tattoo, or not?
- Do you have a piercing in a place other than your earlobe, or not?

- What is your age?
A score of 4-10 would rank someone as being more closely associated to the behaviors, values and opinions of the Silent Generation (born 1928-1945) than the millennial generation. A score of 11-32 ranks closely to the values of Baby Boomers (1946-1964); 33-72 is most like Generation X (1965-1980); and any score higher than 73 aligns with millennial behaviors and values.
