Take this quiz to find out if you are a #Millennial, a #GenZ or the #ChosenOneAndSaviorOfTheRealm

  1. You are stranded in the desert, and given a choice of two gaming consoles to pass the time. Do you choose:

A. A Game Boy Color

B. A Wii

If you chose A, you’re a Millennial, if you chose B, you might just be a Gen Z.

You look up from your gaming console, and oh my! Something peculiar is afoot!

2. Suddenly the sand in front of you starts spinning, and spinning, and spinning. Do you:

A. Cover your ears and crouch down like a child to protect yourself from the overwhelming winds.

B. Open your arms and let the winds consume you.

If you chose A, you’re a Millennial, if you chose B, it looks like we got ourselves a Gen Z.

3. A gaping hole forms in the sand. Suddenly, out of the hole emerges a tiny goblin, his spiny head covered in sand. In a high-pitched, scratchy voice, the goblin asks “Won’t you come down my hole? Won’t you come see what’s down below?” Do you:

A. Follow the goblin down the hole, because why not?

B. Agree to follow him down, but only on the condition that he agrees to pay your student loans.

If you chose A, you’re Gen Z through and through, if you chose option B, you’re totes Millennial.

4. If you chose A in the last round, the goblin grabs you in a large bear hug and whispers “come down my child.”

If you chose B in the last round: The goblin explains that he has a deal with SallyMae and he agrees to get your loans forgiven. You take his hand and follow him down.

You then venture down the goblin’s hole, falling at what feels like several hundred miles an hour. Finally, you reach the bottom and realize that you have entered a strange underworld of fire and death. You look the goblin dead in the eyes, and ask him…

A. “Dude where’s my car?”

B. “Uwu will you protect me daddy?”

If you chose A, you’re a MILLENNNNNNIAAAAL, if you chose B, you’re a GENNZZZ.

5. If you chose A in the last round, the goblin either assures you that he has your car.

If you chose B, he tells you that he prefers to be called Father, not Daddy, but yes, he will protect you.

The goblin then takes out a magic wand and opens a second portal to yet another world. You take the goblin’s hand and enter this new realm, which is filled with greenery and fairydust. Your car is also there. Over a luscious green hill, a beautiful white horse gallops towards you and the goblin. As the horse gets closer, you realize it’s actually not a horse at all, but a Unicorn. The Unicorn approaches you and says “What’s up?”

You respond by saying:

A. “Nothin’ much, how ‘bout you?”

B. “The sky”

If you answered A, you’re a Gennzee, if you answered B, you’re a Milwennialdfjskdjfh

6. The goblin uses its magic wand to conjure up a fine leather saddle on the back of the unicorn. The goblin hops on the front of the saddle, holds out his hand, and says “Hop on, kid.”

You follow the goblin’s orders, and hop on the back of the saddle, hugging the goblin’s wide green hips so you don’t fall off.

You ride and ride and ride on the back of the Unicorn, until you reach a great stone. The stone is at least 7 feet tall and covered in what looks like a thick black tar. The goblin explains to you that many years ago, an evil wizard cursed the realm’s Sacred Ruby, covering it in an impenetrable substance. Only the Chosen One can penetrate through to the Sacred Ruby, restoring peace to the realm.

Suddenly, you feel a wave of desire come over you. You hop off the Unicorn and walk over to the tar-covered stone. You reach out and rest your fingers against it’s hard, cold surface. A moment later, your hand starts glowing, and beams of light emit from all of the small cracks in the stone. The stone starts breaking apart, revealing a giant, dazzling Ruby.

In that moment, you realize that you are not a Gen Z, nor a Millennial. You are The Chosen One, Savior of the Realm, bearer of the Great Ruby.

I hope this quiz was #relatable and helped you figure out whether you’re a Millenial of GenZ because we all know that’s a distinction that matters and definitely wasn’t invented by corporations in order to divide us into marketing categories!
