Someone ought to tell them that not all sweater-wearing Lib-Dems are hippies...

You are a Hippie

You are a total hippie. While you may not wear birks or smell of incense, you have the soul of a hippie. You don't trust authority, and you do as you please. You're willing to take a stand, even when what you believe isn't popular. You like to experiment with ideas, lifestyles, and different subcultures. You always gravitate toward what's radical and subversive. Normal, mainstream culture doesn't really resonate with you.

Are You a Hippie?

Equally, although I have been known to smell of incense, I suspect it's not the kind they mean... Subversive Anglo-Catholics of the world unite?

This meme reminds me of the labelling of early teenage years, when (and this was 1984 or so) anyone who didn't wear drainpipe trousers, or spoke with affection of 1970s television, was a hippie. The stereotyping here is too narrow for wry entertainment, I think.

Yes, i think you're right...

Huh, apparently I'm also a total hippie even though I left two of the questions blank (because I am not given to dietary experiments or spirituality of any flavor whatsoever). Actually, I do not disagree with these results.

I'm a total hippie even though I said I was traditionally religious! (though the spirituality=/= religion idea is a very lazy and false dichotomy, if you ask me).

I don't think of myself as a hippie: more a fully paid-up member of the awkward squad...

Actually, I wonder if you get points for NOT picking the obvious hippie option on some of the questions. I mean, if you do pick the third answer for every one, it just proves you're a conformist, right?

Oooh, good point!

You mean there's another kind?

No, but there are two distinct groups which are subversive in opposite direction!
