So, what Tribe are you?

[Hitcher]

According to a new book, 8 Tribes: The hidden classes of New Zealand (www.8tribes.co.nz), individual New Zealanders are defined by one of eight tribes:

The North Shore tribe
The Grey Lynn tribe
The Balclutha tribe
The Remuera tribe
The Otara tribe
The Raglan tribe
The Cuba Street tribe
The Papatoetoe tribe

You can learn more about which of these may define you by completing the on-line questionnaire at the above link.

Don't guess or try to read too much into the names that are used to describe the Tribes.

[Grahameeboy]

I am 'Me'...................:yes:

[Indiana_Jones]

I am 'Me'...................:yes:

don't lie, your a shore boy lol

-Indy

[yungatart]

I have no idea - and I can't find out either, because the link thingy won't work!!!

[Squeak the Rat]

From Papatoetoe, but Raglan tribe. Fit's to a T.

[Hitcher]

Hitcher - there's a ) in the link that stops it working....

Thanks. Should be sorted now.

[Grahameeboy]

don't lie, your a shore boy lol

-Indy

No, after 2 years of "so you are a Pom are you" I started replying "No.....I am Me"................I live on the Shore doesn't mean I think of myself as a North Shore boy..........ppffffttt:sunny:

[Hitcher]

No, after 2 years of "so you are a Pom are you" I started replying "No.....I am Me"................I live on the Shore doesn't mean I think of myself as a North Shore boy..........ppffffttt

Typical Pom.

[TerminalAddict]

I haven't completed the quiz yet .. but I'm gonna guess I'm the raglan tribe (since I live near the divi :) )

[riffer]

Yeah, I read it in the Saturday DomPost.

I couldn't find the test, so I guess I'm a mix of Papatoetoe/Cuba Street with North Shore tendencies.

Fuck compartmentalisation. :shutup:

[riffer]

Well, well, well.

Found the link, did the test, and this is what it reckons.

You can tell I work in an ad agency...

[pervert]

Worst thread ever.

[WickedOne]

Interesting seeing that I am a saffa who's been living on the shore for the last 7 odd years.

Your dominant tribe is Balclutha

You're from the commonsense tribe who know that pride comes before a fall and the people you can count on are the people that really count.

The Balclutha Tribe - Staunch

The Tribal Mind of the Kiwi heartland, the provincial conservatives, who see themselves as a source of stability and commonsense, bearers of on-going connection with the land solid, reliable and down to earth, but also deceptively smart.

[Hillbilly]

What a lot of crap!! Seven of those "tribes" are in the North Island!! Author wouldn't belong to the "Remuera tribe" would they???

[Hitcher]

I agree with you Riffer. The Tribes are very demographic, rather than values-based, meaning that people will probably change from one Tribe to another over their lifetime. I also thought that the online questionnaire was leading in both the choice of questions and the way they were expressed.

A good conversation starter for New Zealanders, none the less.

[Grahameeboy]

Typical Pom.

Ppppffftt....is that the best you can come up with.

Sorry forgot 'Individualism' was not allowed in NZ.....now where is that thread that talks about 'Culture'.

Anyway, with about 20 or so Dialects, what is a typical 'POM'?:sunny:

[Macktheknife]

Another exercise in the futility of generalising people. What a crock, although I see opportunity in writing another book just to generate controversy over the inaccuracies of this one hhmmmmm.

[Indiana_Jones]

No, after 2 years of "so you are a Pom are you" I started replying "No.....I am Me"................I live on the Shore doesn't mean I think of myself as a North Shore boy..........ppffffttt:sunny:

Well I'm still a pom (Devon) on paper lol.

But I like to think I'm a Kiwi, I've been here over half my life.

anyways you maybe a shore boy, but at least you're not a bays boy lol


..........ELLO' ME LOVER!

-Indy

[yungatart]

Well, it looks like I'm an enigma - an almost 50/50split of North Shore and Cuba St - not normal to be Cuba St and over 40...
Does that mean I'm not normal???

[Ixion]

Balclutha with strong side orders of Papatoetoe and Raglan.Touches of Remuera, Cuba St and Grey Lynn. Zero Otara and North Shore . Prolly about right, but it's highly simplistic

[Grahameeboy]

Yep, do not collect 'Tribes' go straight to PD..................

[Squeak the Rat]

Does that mean I'm not normal???

Hahaha :shutup:

[riffer]

Prolly about right, but it's highly simplistic

That's the whole point Ixion.

BTW, what's the BDOTGNA position on "prolly"?

[Joni]

Did the test for the laugh of it... result ==> The Grey Lynn Tribe - Intellectual, ha ha ha... that shows its not completely accurate!!!

Anyway everyone who knows me knows Im just a saffa... :sunny:

Well, it looks like I'm an enigma - an almost 50/50split of North Shore and Cuba St - not normal to be Cuba St and over 40...

Well, we didn't need a quiz to tell us that! But I suspect that any biker would show some Cuba St characteristics, after all we are special, and non-establishment. North SHore, though. Oh dear, still you're still young, plenty of time to see the light.

You are certainly sfpecial Ixion..LOL

[Hitcher]

what is a typical 'POM'?

Probably worthy of its own thread, that discussion:

Fear of fresh vegetables, rare steak, soap, running water, Germans, American sitcoms, Europeans...

Roman sandals AND socks. Braces AND belts.

An inate urge to line up behind two people facing the same direction. And to yell out "Ayyyy ludd!" at Russell Watson concerts and "Ayyyy luss! at Charlotte Church.

A propensity to whine.

A sense of betrayal at being suboptimal performers at all sports invented in Pomgolia, with the exception of darts and Morris dancing...

[Chisanga]

I think that attempting to shoehorn "people"into eight categories is intellectually obtuse.... and that is probably why it stuck me in with the Grey Lynn crowd :)

[Hitcher]

BTW, what's the BDOTGNZA position on "prolly"?

Gahhh! Thud.

Still don't give green stamps , d'ya.

[Ixion]

Prolly (:devil2:) a better poll would be "What tribe would you wish to belong to ?".

[MSTRS]

Your dominant tribes are Raglan and Balclutha

It's hard to live according to these values in the big city - there's a certain lack of reality and far too much faddishness and wastefulness there.


The Raglan Tribe Free spirited

The independent spirits who value the ability to live a life according to their own priorities, not the consumerist pressures for material aggrandizement. They tend to be highly sensate and internally focussed hedonists, or spiritual journeyers, fitness fanatics or adrenaline junkies. Many Kiwis join the Raglan tribe for three weeks at Christmas.


The Balclutha Tribe - Staunch

The Tribal Mind of the Kiwi heartland, the provincial conservatives, who see themselves as a source of stability and commonsense, bearers of on-going connection with the land solid, reliable and down to earth, but also deceptively smart.

[Grahameeboy]

Still don't give green stamps , d'ya.

He is colour blind that is why................:gob:

[LilSel]

I got...

Your dominant tribe is North Shore

You're ambitious and hard-working, steadily working your way up in the world. Still hungry for more though.


The North Shore Tribe Achieving

The ambitious, hard-working, heavily-mortgaged inhabitants of the great suburban jungle for whom looking good and keeping up appearances are fundamentally important. They survive in the jungle by constantly moving ahead, up through the ranks of job, car, house, street and suburb.

The North Shore Tribe – Achieving

The North Shore tribe is populated by self-made men and women – self- starters with large doses of ambition, aspiration, perseverance and achievement. There’s a simple and powerful philosophy underpinning this set of tribal values: you work out how the system operates, work hard, climb the ladder and enjoy the rewards at the top – the nice house, the nice car, the overseas holidays.

The North Shore tribe dominates many parts of New Zealand society, just as its counterparts do around the world. It’s a core part of the “mainstream”, the economically energetic class that drives our urban consumer economy and is so prized by our agenda-setting media networks and advertisers.

Money defines life for the North Shore tribe. It’s the factor by which value judgments are made. Something is valuable or worthless according to its cost. Earning a decent income, striving to become comfortably wealthy and moving up the status ladder is the unquestioned point of life. Living in a way that expresses your success is natural. Your suburb, house, car, clothes and holidays all have status implications, and in the North Shore tribe, you should always go for the best your money can buy.

Oh, I am so sorry. But at least you don't ride a Harley, so it's unlikely anyone will guess. Of course,WE all know now :whistle:

[GR81]

how auckland orientated!

[Grahameeboy]

Okay, I succumbed for a laugh and answer was 'Raglan Tribe'.........:sunny:

[LilSel]

Oh, I am so sorry. But at least you don't ride a Harley, so it's unlikely anyone will guess. Of course,WE all know now :whistle:

LOL.... I was thinking I'd get 'tribe' like Papatoetoe... East sider here... :rockon:

[slinky]

Your dominant tribe is Papatoetoe

You hate people who are "up themselves", you'd do anything for your mates, you enjoy the simple pleasures of life.


The Papatoetoe Tribe Unpretentious

Urban working people who disdain wankers and define themselves by their unwillingness to think of themselves as better than their mates the classic state house and jug of beer Kiwis.

For more information about your dominant tribes please follow these links:-

The Papatoetoe Tribe Unpretentious

Duno if i like being told id fit in in papatoetoe. tho i agree the description.

Look here! I'm perfectly normal, for a person like me!!
As for still being young, well, I guess I can forgive you the slander, as you pay such nice compliments:love:
I'd be the oldest young person I know...

[Ixion]

I'd be the oldest young person I know...

Its all relative.

[jrandom]

Apparently I'm Raglan and Balclutha.

It's all a load of wank, anyway. They're just harvesting email addresses.

[riffer]

orientated!


aaargh.

BDOTGNA alert. Orientated means pointing at. Let's get rid of the americanisms please....

[Lissa]

I am Papatoetoe: "Urban working people who disdain wankers and define themselves by their unwillingness to think of themselves as better than their mates the classic state house and jug of beer Kiwis." :yes:

and Grey Lynn: "The highly educated intelligentsia who value ideas above material things and intellectualise every element of their lives. Their most prized possession is a painting by the artist of the moment, they frequent film festivals, secretly wish they had more gay and Maori friends, feel guilty about discussing property values and deep down are uneasy about their passion for rugby. " - Thats so wrong! First I have no brains and cant spell. I make my own art, or the kids do for me, and I HATE watching rugby. MAD!

[LilSel]

It's all a load of wank, anyway. They're just harvesting email addresses.

hmmm.... guess I should have used my hotmail e-mail instead of work one then :doh:

[Hitcher]

They're just harvesting email addresses.

Whetu Chini loves people who do that. Whetu is predominantly Balclutha tribe, BTW.

[jrandom]

I hate, hate, hate the authors of this 'book'.

Pretentious twats. Who are they to compartmentalize a country?

In any case, they have no balls. They included a 'Pacific Island' subtype of the lava-lava wearing family that gives all its money to the church, but left out the Maori subtype of the violent criminal underclass.

[KATWYN]

Oh you have to actually do a questionaire??? ok.

Sweet
I assumed cos i'm from the North Shore that makes me that tribe!

Yay....there is hope afterall.....here goes

...oh Balclutha with Raglen....whew at least its not North Shore

Life is peachy with a bike , and I like bike racing in any form . and hate that swill you call beer.

[scumdog]

Don't need no stinkin' poll to tell me what tribe I belong to - I live here ergo I belong.

[Lias]

Dominant was Balclutha, next highest was Papatoetoe, others didnt get more than 10% (although my remuera was -10%!)

[Pwalo]

I had a good laugh when I saw that in the Dom on Saturday, and then again in the Sunday Womens Weekend Paper.

Quite a lot of bollocks really. I presume that the 'tribal' motif was something to do with reality TV (now there's an oxymoron). I suppose as long as you realise that it's been done by a marketing company it's good for a laugh.

I have a sneaky feeling it says more about the people who compiled the book than baout the subject matter. Now where's my coffee.

[WRT]

Gahhh! Thud.

Where is Sniper (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/search.php?searchid=1869730) when you need him?

I came up with this (http://www.8tribes.co.nz/FINDYOURTRIBE/ProfileResults/tabid/188/Default.aspx?id=c2df9f64-a16e-47df-9035-cf22f8b1865a) - apparently I'm a staunch, achieving down to earth intellectual. Keh? And they reckon that's a typically Kiwi profile?

[hXc]

Cuba St. Typical young 'arty' person, I guess.

"A transitional Tribe for young alternative Kiwis on the cutting edge of cool, where new is the greatest virtue, being labelled mainstream the greatest fear and self-expression the great preoccupation. The Cuba Street tribe is the edge from which many trends and fashions emerge in the 80s it was the vanguard of espresso, in the 90s of body piercing and tattoos."

Sounds like me exactly. Hmmmm, test is right.

[dawnrazor]

a new book, [I]8 Tribes: The hidden classes of New Zealand.

"define me, define me - give me a sense of my own self worth, 'cus I'm tooooo lazy to work it out for myself', said the sorry sad sacks that read this shite.

How about this, you have the shockingly poor, the filthy rich and the rest of us in between...end of story...no mystery...you can either afford stuff, you can afford lots of stuff or you can afford stuff all!!!!


8 tribes, what a load of toss, its crap like this, that further divides an already heavily fractured society...it just legitimises peoples prejudices.... if anyone thinks this is a good thing, then don't complain the next time you get phoned during your dinner by market researchers, wanting to know what toilet paper you use....it all amounts to the same thing...and don't be fooled by the website either, this idea is about as revolutionary as the wheel.....

[outlawtorn]

I'm like SO not in any of these tribes....I'm like SO individual and unique and no one thinks or acts like me and I know ALL the cool music you know, like, because I liked NSYNC when they were still underground and you know like.....blah blah

I turned out to be a North Shore tribe member, probably because I love money and success and am working my balls off to get rich and become successful..

[Phurrball]

Grey Lynn, apparently.

Small side serves of Balclutha and Raglan and 10% for everything except Remmers and the Shore - in the negatives there...

'Tis blolocks anyway-lacks scope. I'm Dunners tribe with a side serve of the Hutt and Westie :sunny:

[Grahameeboy]

No...should 'av kept...........:yes: :sunny:

[Motu]

I don't know how they get the name of the tribes,but I'm Papatoetoe apparently.



''Though this tribe is no longer as prevalent or as powerful as it once was, it has had a significant effect on the values and attitudes of many New Zealanders. Many Papatoetoe tribal attitudes have their origins in classic industrial-age, blue-collar values: hard work, solidarity with the workers and distrust of the bosses and educated types. That was the era of the state house, flagon of beer and an honest day’s pay for an honest day’s work.''

I grew up in the most industrial blue collar area in NZ - Mt Wellington,which was the working class suburb that supplied Penrose with it's workers....Penrose was then the most industrialised area in the country.And I went to Penrose High School,their job was to supply working fodder to the factories.

While certainly not typical working class - my base philosophy is definatly an honest day's pay for an honest day's work.I have a distrust of those who don't work with their hands and the sweat of their brow....you get to where you want to be by shear hard work,making money out of nothing is the lowest form of existance.

Quite a lot of bollocks really.

When we identify with some type of group though it gives people a sense
of belonging - to something. and in turn increases peoples self worth - unless
one is a self confessed narcissist of course......

Look how many Kiwi bikers completed the questionaire....most probably out of a genuine curiosity of where they belong in society -

[Colapop]

What's funny is that the most popular option in Hitchers poll are the 'Others'. People who are or can be categorised but refuse to believe it so they determine that they are something else. A large enough group of others to be it's own special group.

Me - I'm proud of where I've come from and what I've achieved. I nmost strongly resemble -
The Papatoetoe Tribe - Unpretentious. Urban working people who disdain wankers...
The Balclutha Tribe - Staunch. A source of stability and commonsense, bearers of on-going connection with the land solid, reliable and down to earth, but also deceptively smart.

Which I reckon is ok.

Yes we all like to belong, apparently, and self worth/esteem is essential for a persons function as an adult.

Please excuse my cynicism, but having done the good old History, Education, Phsycology, Anthropolgy bit at Uni many years ago it's impossible to not be a wee bit jaded when you see something being marketed as defining a society's social fabric/structure.

I still reckon it's bollocks. Harmless, but bollocks nevertheless.

Otara....what can I say?

[Big Dog]

Clearly tribe of wally.
Didn't read the thread before I answered.
I intended to post Nomad with Westie tendancies.
Then read the thread :doh:
Followed Lin and got this result.
Your dominant tribe is Raglan

Unlike the people who take the mainstream path, you got where you are today by creating your own journey. You won't die wondering.


The Raglan Tribe Free spirited

The independent spirits who value the ability to live a life according to their own priorities, not the consumerist pressures for material aggrandizement. They tend to be highly sensate and internally focussed hedonists, or spiritual journeyers, fitness fanatics or adrenaline junkies. Many Kiwis join the Raglan tribe for three weeks at Christmas.

[Hitcher]

Mr Hitcher has been to Balclutha. Several times. Once on dole day. I can still hear the banjos. That is enough spiritual empathy for me.

Raglan and Grey Lynn

[dawnrazor]

Hmm.

On the one hand, I do like a woman with a tiny, petite frame.

On the other hand... I like another woman with a tiny, petite frame.

The person who said that clearly never had two in the bush.

I expect "two in the bush", from a female perspective might not necessarily be a particularly comfortable experience either, ahem......now that is filthy.....I blame JEEBUS.....

[Beemer]

I read the thing in the paper last weekend and identified with the Raglan tribe, not realising there was more to it than that! I ticked Raglan but when I got my profile it said I was a blend of Papatoetoe and Balclutha! Not sure about that... although I think I'm pretty unpretentious, and I suppose I am down to earth although not dumb! 'spose there could be something to it...

The Papatoetoe Tribe Unpretentious

Urban working people who disdain wankers and define themselves by their unwillingness to think of themselves as better than their mates the classic state house and jug of beer Kiwis.


The Balclutha Tribe - Staunch

The Tribal Mind of the Kiwi heartland, the provincial conservatives, who see themselves as a source of stability and commonsense, bearers of on-going connection with the land solid, reliable and down to earth, but also deceptively smart.

I saw a young guy with the following on his teeshirt the other day:

Your dominant tribes are Raglan and Cuba St

Your tribal combination shows an alternative view of the world and a strong sense of anti-mainstream individualism - but perhaps you're mellowing with age


The Raglan Tribe Free spirited

The independent spirits who value the ability to live a life according to their own priorities, not the consumerist pressures for material aggrandizement. They tend to be highly sensate and internally focussed hedonists, or spiritual journeyers, fitness fanatics or adrenaline junkies. Many Kiwis join the Raglan tribe for three weeks at Christmas.


The Cuba Street Tribe Avant-Garde

A transitional Tribe for young alternative Kiwis on the cutting edge of cool, where new is the greatest virtue, being labelled mainstream the greatest fear and self-expression the great preoccupation. The Cuba Street tribe is the edge from which many trends and fashions emerge in the 80s it was the vanguard of espresso, in the 90s of body piercing and tattoos

TAKE ME DOWN TO THE WEST AUCKLAND CITY

WHERE THE GRASS IS SMOKED AND THE GIRLS ARE EASY

-Indy

[Dodgyiti]

I would have been far more comfortable about it if there was a Westie or Henderson tribe :shutup:

But considering I was born in Papatoetoe and love Raglan I'm not complaining

[scumdog]

Hmm, seems the Balclutha tribe is second only to North Shore. (Other/none don't count)

What does that say for the rest of the country? - they all want to be as good as Scumdog????????????????

[The_Dover]

seems I'm Balclutha.

I think I'll be an outcast though.

I've only got ten fingers and ten toes and I can't play the banjo for shit.

[scumdog]

With three fingers on one hand and seven on the other it's no wonder you can't play the banjo for shit...........

And your feet? we won't even go there.

[gijoe1313]

Heh, well for what its worth - I'm a Raglanite with a good dollop of Papatoetoan ... the thing I don't get is, I love my bling gadgets and all - thats crass consumerism to the nth degree :lol: Mind you, its all to add to my own hedonistic pursuits... :scratch: That's 1 minute of my life I ain't getting back ... bummer dude... :zzzz:

Your dominant tribe is Raglan

Unlike the people who take the mainstream path, you got where you are today by creating your own journey. You won't die wondering.

The Papatoetoe Tribe: Unpretentious
Urban working people who disdain “wankers” and define themselves by their unwillingness to think of themselves as better than their mates – the classic “state house and jug of beer” Kiwis.

Found in: Suburbs and towns with concentrations of car-yards, supermarkets and sports grounds.

Distinguishing Characteristics: shift work, blue overalls, budgets.

[The_Dover]

And your feet? we won't even go there.

nah, neither will the missus

[ManDownUnder]

Well here's (http://www.8tribes.co.nz/WebCharts/6fba1e9d-1d58-4274-be9e-9793196db933.Png) me...

Your dominant tribe is North Shore

You're ambitious and hard-working, steadily working your way up in the world. Still hungry for more though.


The North Shore Tribe Achieving

The ambitious, hard-working, heavily-mortgaged inhabitants of the great suburban jungle for whom looking good and keeping up appearances are fundamentally important. They survive in the jungle by constantly moving ahead, up through the ranks of job, car, house, street and suburb.
