My result is townie. Although some elements of this tribe does fit me as a person the entire concept of dividing up youth culture into tribes is flawed. The results given would match me in some ways as i have entered personal information about myself, the outputs available are far too stereotypical to match any person into a group entirely accurately. This does not mean i do not believe in "youth tribes" however i do think that individuality is present no matter how much you fit the profile of a "tribe". This "test" only shows the shell of a person and gives no diversity to them as an individual.
In saying this i have not been assigned to evaluate the issues of stereotyping and the impact this has on society. The tribe i have been designated is "townie", as i have already stated this does match some of my character traits. I do not think Chris moyles is a comedy genius, I'm not in the heart of mainstream culture, I'm not saving for a holiday, i disagree with the statement "where people are normal like you" as i believe normality is an impossibility as everyone is completely individual. In fact the only reason i fit into this category at all is because the other category's are completely void of all similarities to myself.
I am however aware that my opinion and beliefs will be influencing how i see myself and other people. This is a paradox in itself as i will forever say I'm not a townie without question when in fact this might be a key characteristic of townies.
The questions within the quiz or questionnaire were limited in their construction and forced answers for the sake of answers, this kind of liner questioning is conducive of false, incorrect or inaccurate results. I would say the nature of this quiz is not to be taken as a conclusive statement about your personal identity as a whole but rather a general outlook of what your particular media tastes are related to in terms of "youth tribes".
