So, what Tribe are you?

[yungatart]

Well, we didn't need a quiz to tell us that! Oh dear, still you're still young, plenty of time to see the light.

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

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."

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!

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

[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

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 when you need him?

I came up with this - 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.
