Your result
Low
Your interest in popular culture is low, and you lean more towards nostalgia. According to the scale's authors, this pattern is closer to the characteristics attributed to Generation X.
Moderate
Both your interest in popular culture and your leaning towards nostalgia are moderate. According to the scale's authors, this falls between the characteristics attributed to Generations X and Z.
High
Your interest in popular culture is high; you enjoy following and consuming what is new more than looking back. According to the scale's authors, this pattern is closer to the characteristics attributed to Generation Z.

Take your result as a rough guide, not a diagnosis. How you feel over time, and a conversation with a specialist, tell much more than a questionnaire.
Talk it through with a specialist
If your result worries you, or you would like to talk it through, our psychiatrists can review it with you, free and without obligation.
