My score was a 35.

I didn't think I would get such a low score. I thought I was more millennial then that. I think it shows that I still have some old fashion views and I am proud of those views. Those views make me who I am and I would not change that in order to become more millenial.

My score on the quiz was 99. I never believed myself to be that millennial. Although I do have a social networking profile, I am not constantly addicted to it, nor am I to television. I think these results show that I have adapted to the change in customs of people over the years. I believe that everyone should have the freedom to express their ideas and beliefs publicly. One thing that is very different from previous years is phone technology. I spend a lot of time texting. Also, I do want a high-paying career but I also want to love the job that I do.

Hold onto your hat… my millennial score was a 6. Just a 6. I didn’t even get a double digit score. I am not really a millennial-type person. I have a cell phone but I don’t text anyone -- I just keep it as an emergency phone in case my crappy car breaks down so I can call a tow truck. I don’t have a social network profile. I don’t spend a crazy amount of time watching television. I hold a lot of the same beliefs as my Papa and Nana. I believe religion is important. I believe when people get married it should be until death. I guess what the results say about me is that I am less willing to change and adapt to new technology and ideas, which might be a bad thing when so many others are quite the opposite.

My score was an 64. I am not an avid texter or go on facebook all the time. I don't really watch tv that much either, I read more than anything. And my parents have been happily married for 25 years.So all in all, I am happy with my score because I am millennial but not over the top millennial. I still have old fashion views that I was raised with, along with updated views too.

My score was an 81, and honestly this surprises me. I thought I would have a higher score. I have a cell phone and I am either constantly texting or on the phone talking to friends or family. Over the summer I watched a ton of TV because I had nothing to do during the day while I babysat. In High School for mock elections I received "Facebook Addict", I thought the combination of my obsessions for Facebook, TV, and my cell phone would put me at a higher score than 81. I thought I would definitely be in the 90's, but hey 81 is still pretty high. I also believe at this day and age with the way technology works it is extremely hard to not be millennial.

My score=28

I'm surprised about my score, but at the same time I'm not. I always try to keep up with the times and the latest tech devices, but at the same time I am resistant to change. I am not a heavy cellphone user, but if I had a smartphone, it probably would never leave my hands. I am very disappointed to see the decline of the newspaper; nothing beats having breakfast and a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper. I was raised in a religious family and I have chosen to follow that same lifestyle. So I am a very traditional person, but at the same time I like change.

My score is 92.

I knew I would get high score becuase I use a lot of up-to-date things.

I scored a 97. I didn't relies that I was very common in my generation. I'm fine with that because our generation is out spoken and we have busted through barriers our parents were afraid to touch. I love to present myself as I like to be viewed and I like showing people who I truly am. I don’t like holding back what I believe in or condone. I feel like my score reflected me as myself; strong, spontaneous and free.

My score was 98. I already thought I was very millenial. It shows how the times have changed and how important things have changed. I am surprised at how much things have changed. I am not always on the computer or watching tv but I do text a lot. I guess I am surprised that I am that high on the millenial scale.

My score on the quiz was 94. I think that this reveals that I am a very millennial person. I have to say that I am somewhat disappointed that I received such a high score, because I do not want to be that person that is always on his or her phone or computer. I think that Facebook and television are a total waste of time, but I some how always find myself getting distracted by this technology. Now that I am in college, I realize how unimportant Facebook and television are and that there are so many more important things.

My score was a 87. I'm not really surprised with this score. Even though I do not play video games or watch tv that much, the computer and social networking sites,like facebook, are definitely of good use for me personally. I have many friends who have moved out of state, and this helps to keep in contact with them. Change isn't always a bad thing!

I had an 87 on the quiz. I actually didn't expect this score at all, since I was raised somewhat in an old fashion manner. Also, I prefer a lot of the older shows on television that don't play very often, along with older music. I was actually expecting a score of 50 to 60 on this quiz but I guess I was wrong.

My score was 87. I didn't think I was really millennial. I don't feel like I'm up to date with all the new technology, I don't understand it all that well, nor do I really care. I am not into video games what so ever! i haven't played on since play station 1 came out when I was 10? The only thing that I feel makes me different from my mom's generation is that i have more of a general understanding of the computer and ipod..but I dont feel "millennial". The only reasoning I can come up with for my score is just the generation I was born into.

Surprisingly, my score on the quiz was a 92. I didn't think I would score that high because I am against being very millennial. I do not like what younger people are into now a days, yet I got such a high score. I do not watch television too often because it is a waste of time. I do own a cell phone and text frequently, but I'm not addicted to my facebook. I was raised by my mom and nana for 10 years until my stepdad joined the family. Even though I've never known my biological father I think two people should be together until the end. And yeah..I have around 11 piercings. I'll agree that I'm very millennial in some ways, but I do have traditional beliefs and values.

My Millennial score was 73! I thought I was more millennial than what my score gave me but the fact that two of the questions were about piercings and tattoos and also about political and religious views which I am still "old-fashioned" about.

My score was an 89.

I figured that I would have a higher score because I use more of the latest technology. I have never heard of a millennial before this blog, but now that I have I would definitely consider myself as a millennial. I have become more accustomed to the ways of our society, today. I am not as critical of people, like some people have been in the past. I believe that everyone should have an equal right and say. I am one of those people who wants to live a full and happy life. In order for me to have my ideal life, I would need to have a good paying job (that I love) and I need to be surrounded by the people I love. I believe that my score suits me well because I don't have most of the same views as my past generations.

Wow! A 99? I didn't think I was really that high in the millennial generation. Once I think about it though it makes much more sense. I use a cell phone more than landlines, social network most of my time. I don't watch that much TV but it's enough to say I'm part of the millennial generation. Although I am high on the millennial generation "scoreboard" I wouldn't change anything to have a smaller number. This is our generation and I'm proud to be part of it.
