What Generation are you?

In recruiting, there has been a lot of talk lately about Generations in the workforce and how they interact (or don't). A couple of my co-workers are in their twenties and working with them has given me some insights into my own kids behavior and thoughts. I thought this quiz from Brazen Careerist Blog was interesting. I ended up with 12 points, so although I am a Generation Jones, I am on the cusp of Gen X/Y which I am sure would appall my kids.
Take the test and find out where you belong:

Do you have your own web page? (1 point)

Have you made a web page for someone else? (2 points)

Do you IM your friends? (1 point)
