I am fascinated by the character portrayal on the TV show "Mad Men"

Take this little quiz and and find out your alter personality or perhaps the one your aspire to.

I don't think I am any one personality but rather a composite of about three personalities.

Is that a bad thing?

I'm not really familiar with the show anyhow, and most of the questions had answers that I wasn't happy with any of the answers anyways.

For example, if someone in the office did come out and express their gayness, I'd congratulate them and be happy for them.  I noticed that wasn't one of the choices, however.

Mostly, the answers seemed to be very cynical.  Is that what the show is about?

It's a show about Madison Avenue in the 60s. Your answer to that question just didn't exist in that place and time.

I agree with mrfisher, the options didn't really reflect the decisions I would make in certain situations.  I am nothing like Betty Draper.  Or maybe I'm in denial and need a therapist.  Either way I love that show, I can't wait for it to start back.  Very Ayn Rand.

The show is on the AMC network and follows the lives those in  the 1960 corporate culture.
It is amazing to me how defined the roles of men and women in those times were.

If you watch the show you will see how to answer the questions correctly and fit in to the culture.
It is a mindset and I don't think it really matters if the character you end up with at the end of the quiz is male or female. Only that you understand the stilted roles at the time.

Does some of this ring true today?

BTW the character of Jane is very sexy, she made her world work for her given the narrow parameters at the time.

: ) cute quiz.

Jon Hamm is incredibly sexy & Mad Men is a beautifully produced show.

I'm not taking the quiz because I prefer not to come with the realization that I am not Mr. Draper (even though I don't envy his demons)
