THE ANALYSIS
8–11: You are not modern at all and you don’t want to be. You are suspicious of new things and don’t make an effort to find out about them. You would prefer to live in the past. It is nice that you can appreciate the simple things in life but you must be careful not to get left behind. You are too traditional.
12–16: You are not very modern but you are not completely old-fashioned either. You like to live in a world that has the good things from the past and some of the good things from the present too.
17–20: You are modern. You know a lot about what is happening around you and obviously enjoy progress. On the other hand, you are sensible and don’t worry about buying and doing all the latest things just because they are fashionable.
21–24: Yes!!! You are very modern. Being up-to-date is very important to you. Sometimes perhaps it is too important. Remember that new things are not always the best things. Be careful not to become obsessed with every new thing that comes along. Some things are just clever marketing crazes that will complicate your life.
