If you answered with…

Mostly A’s: You’re Mildly Missoulian. You love life in the Garden City, but you’d fit in just as easily on the outside. And luckily, unlike your hardcore-Missoula counterparts, you’re aware of proper crosswalk procedure — which might come in handy if you ever decide to relocate.

Mostly B’s: You’re Mostly Missoulian. You’re content to call Zoo Town home, and life in any other place would be a considerable adjustment, but it wouldn’t be totally impossible. As long as you have a ski hill and a funky local coffee joint, you’ll be OK.

Mostly C’s: You’re a Montana Missoulian. You probably came here from another town in Montana, completely unaware of the culture shock you were about to experience. They don’t make those “Keep Missoula Weird” bumper stickers for nothing — when it comes to the Treasure State, Missoula is kind of an oddity.

Mostly D’s: You’re a Mondo Missoulian. If ever there was a match made in heaven, it was you and the Zoo. Where else can you eat at a different burrito shop every day of the week — without having to use motor transportation (and thus release harmful pollutants into the Earth’s atmosphere)?
