Comments on: Fun with Quizzes http://poliblogger.com/?p=6928 A rough draft of my thoughts...

We had 4 out of five cities in common, but I too picked west and ended up with Atlanta as #2?!? My results: 60% Austin 55% Atlanta 55% Denver 55% Las Vegas 50% Chicago I feel certain they had a VERY small list of possible cities. I do think there are some flaws in their system.

My results:
60% Austin

55% Atlanta
55% Denver
55% Las Vegas
50% Chicago

I feel certain they had a VERY small list of possible cities.

The questions don't cover many important areas (live sports fan? need flights everywhere? cost of living (besides taxes)? average pay?) Las Vegas came as #1. OK, I can probably accept that. Seattle came as #2. No way. I've been there. Honolulu was #3. Yes, it would be nice, but there's no way I can afford it. The ever-present Austin was #4. Never been there, so no idea. Then came ... Atlanta? All right, the only parts I've seen were from I-75 at 55 MPH, but I didn't care for it. Besides, I picked "West" and Atlanta ain't west. Pretty worthless.

Las Vegas came as #1. OK, I can probably accept that.

Seattle came as #2. No way. I’ve been there.

Honolulu was #3. Yes, it would be nice, but there’s no way I can afford it.

The ever-present Austin was #4. Never been there, so no idea.

Then came … Atlanta? All right, the only parts I’ve seen were from I-75 at 55 MPH, but I didn’t care for it. Besides, I picked “West” and Atlanta ain’t west.

Did the Austin Chamber of Commerce create this thing? Every region I tried listed Austin as #1. South...Austin, west...Austin, midwest...Austin, even the northeast...Austin. Is it that good in Austin? What’s up with this? Did the Austin Chamber of Commerce create this thing? Every region I tried listed Austin as #1.

Or if I had to move? Or would obtaining a good job be important to me? I'm assuming none of the above -- just are you looking right now. 80% Austin 75% Denver 70% Seattle 60% Honolulu 60% Miami Ha!

Honolulu, I don't get. Interesting that you’re almost halfway between Austin and Atlanta. Honolulu, I don’t get.
