The How International Are You? Test
I’ve written this online test a while ago. If you are a true global nomad you should score in the category “Global Gypsy” or above (I’ve used the term gypsy instead of nomad because, to me, a nomad is someone who migrates seasonally and a gypsy someone who migrates freely). Please have a go and tell me what you think of it:

Oh, yeah, and it was 53% worldliness…
and I remembered another question with which I had a problem. One that asks about the country that I would most like to revisit, and how close the culture is to my own. I thought about that and finally ended up saying that it was somewhat like my own… because I think my own is quite simply a combination of the cultures where I grew up… even though those are different from each other. That was kind of an impossible question for me. I could just as well have said that it was exactly the same, thinking of that country’s culture as my own, or I could have said that it was very different, arbitrarily picking a different country’s culture as my own.
Did anyone else have trouble with that question?

I have never been to the place I was born either, except for the time I was born there… but not since…

I think my overall score might have been a little higher if I’d taken this quiz when I was younger. I’m 45 years old and haven’t spent significant time overseas since college.

I think one flaw to this quiz is the knowledge part. I think questions involved Africa and Europe, but not Asia where I grew up about 2/3 of my life.
