DACCI

the dean alfar cultural correspondence index

Very simple. Look at the list of choices below (left or right) and select which one applies to your sensibilities best. Be honest.

When you're through, give yourself 1 point for every left choice you made. That score is your DACCI score - which shows the percentage that you'd agree with me in most conversations.

Let me know how you do.
