Friday Funnies: Are you a Yankee Or A Rebel - A Case Study

June 30th, 2006 by Justin Thibault · No Comments

Alright, I figure at least once a week I need to divert just a little bit from what’s going on in the county. So, here goes.

Y’all may have heard about this test (especially if you’re NPR listeners) “Are You A Yankee Or a Rebel?” (link)

The answer is not as obvious as you might think. Check this out.

I scored 60% Rebel. I was born in Georgia, and grew up in Michigan, Maryland, Ohio, and North Carolina. Dad was born and raised in Arkansas. Mom was born in Tennessee and raised in Michigan.

My wife (of a mere 2 1/2 years) was born and raised in North Carolina - as was her father. Her mother was born and raised in Georgia. So, her score should be signifcantly higher, right? She was only 62% Rebel

Go, have some fun, Take The Test
