What's Your GenMindset? Survey

Welcome to the PPI Generational Perceptions Index.

Answering the following questions will identify your generation (Boomer, Gen X, Millennial, or Gen Z) based upon your birth year.

The Index will then compare your remaining responses with demographic, social, and cultural research data to identify your Generational Mindset.
