Bobby Allison-Gallimore over at the Rattler has posted his own version of the Teachout Cultural Concurrence Index. In for a penny in for a pound I say, so I went ahead and took Bobby’s test as well. I ended up with a 63 (note that is the percentage of concurrence not the number on which we agree) and again their were a number of choices I didn’t make because I was unable to choose or because I lacked enough knowledge. I simply refuse to choose between Beyonce and Outkast or between the Simple Life and the Real World. Bobby’s list is a little more pop culture orientated so that may skew your scores depending on how your knowledge trends. My answers are below and Bobby’s choices are always option B.
