*Warning: Post may contain sarcasm.*

Why do people always feel the need to label and categorize everything and everyone? She’s a hipster; that guy’s a douche bag; those kids are square. We assume, with our rudimentary understanding of psychology and sociology, that it has something to do with fear and insecurity. We’re not real sure, but sometimes it can be a lot of fun. And we hate it when people don’t live up to their stereotypes. It just really leaves so much work for us.

With that in mind, we have come up with the Peg Your Austin Clique quiz. Answer the multiple-choice questions below and add up the point totals to see how you’re classified in our very scientific test.
