I'm 38% Jay Gatsby and 12% Captain Kangaroo. How comforting.

I would enjoy growing old with June Cleaver and she'd like my salary as I'm 36% Marcus Welby M.D.!

Hey Ryan, I guess we grow old together. I'm June Cleaver, apparently.

Their questions totally give them away. "What ages better - your wine or your 401k?" "You're most likely to join: a book club or a mutual fund?" Not impressed.

Totally surprised. I was completely expecting Scientology or some other nutbag religious pitch. This seems very bizarre for AARP.

Weow Sarah! You and I have the exact same personality profile!

Did you choose the monkey too?

Maybe they've been taken over by Christian Scientists.

They've been advertising this on KOMO radio for the last month. Even learning that the AARP's behind it (yes, Sarah, I'm as surprised as you were), I'm completely befuddled as to their motives, aside from selling insurance and stuff.

Maybe this is their way of tapping the Gen Y market. Who knows.

Also, like ryan, I got Marcus Welby, 36%. These guys clearly haven't seen what I eat for lunch most days :P

(I chose the cat)

According to them, I'm 33% Daddy Warbucks, 27% the Queen of England, 24% Richie Rich, 10% Bruce Wayne, and 6% Jed Clampett. So evidently I'm meant to be quite rich. Too bad my bank account doesn't agree.

Apparently I'm Gatsby crossed with Ferris Bueller. I chose the cat and eschewed any choice with family or children in it...

I was 46% Mother Teresa. I also had some George Washington (I hate him) and the Easter Bunny who I totally love. I chose the dog. I kinda wanted to choose the ant, just to see what it meant. Anybody choose the ant?

I have the same percentages as Sarah as well. Suspicious. I was annoyed that "bacon" wasn't a choice on any of the questions.

Interesting. I'm 11% Princess Grace, 6% Hoss Cartwright, 14% Moqtada al Sadr, 9% Bjorn Borg, 26% Lord Buckley, 11% Natalie Campbell, 17% The Elephant Man, and 6% Pontius Pilate. So what does that mean for my credit application?

5% Easter Bunny????

The Easter Bunny has a personality?! Oh... I see...

This test sucks.

They're trying for a younger demographic. Their usual audience tends to die.

just goes to show that marketers are more "clever" than effective.
