Your "Inner European" is...

Postby JessieS » April 20th, 2007

So, the husband and I are working toward moving to Italy, and have been for quite awhile now. Imagine my surprise then, when I took a quiz that says my "Inner European" is Dutch. The husband emailed to say his is Italian, so at least one of us is moving in the right direction. Yeesh.

What's your Inner European? Smile

Well, I'm French, but I don't believe that. I was Bosnian in a past life! Where's my coffee?

How many possibilities are there I wonder...

Mine is Irish, too - I think the carbs and beer put me there. Smile I do have some Irish blood but am mostly of German descent (again - carbs and beer).

Apparantly my inner European is Italian. Which only proves this quiz is crap (but I do like Italian food).

Yup, apparently I'm Dutch, too. Though I find that less surprising than most of you seem to.

French. Apparently it was my answer about doing "unsavory things."

But I really wanted Albanian ...

I'm German and love the Italian lifestyle, too, and I ended up with Dutch, so I don't understand this quiz. I agree, I think it's crap. Of course, if I'd gotten the result I wanted, I might adore it. Wink

I ended up Dutch as well -- not surprising, since I lived there for three years and loved it.

In a way you can "fix" your answers -- the quiz plays into many stereotypes. I think it's too short to be really meaningful.
