What Type of Techie are You?

September 28, 2017

What Type of Techie are You?


Do you stay up late scrolling through the latest tech gadgets? Or, would you rather throw your phone or computer out the window most days? Perhaps technology has given you a pretty penny (or 1 billion) in income or knowledge. Or, are you an innovator who is continuously thinking "What's next?" and creating it. We know everyone is unique, so why should your technology preferences be any different.

Take our Quiz to find out what type of Techie you are, and even explore products and services that might change your life based on the type you end up with. Are you ready?

L E T ' S   F I N D   O U T!

 

WTH is Confetti for the Techie?

The definition of technology has expanded over years of innovation and need for creation. Because of this, we believe technology blogs should be easy to read with a simple layout, minimal ads, with fun, personalized content for users.

We've created just that with Confetti for the Techie and are launching our website with this fun personality quiz that will give you insight on what type of techie you are. Not a techie you say? As hard as we try, technology keeps inserting itself into our career, relationships, social life, and education. Everyone can fall into a category on our quiz, and we hope that it not only gives you insight on products, tips, courses, services, and people to connect with, but also, we hope you find a unique connection with technology and even contribute to this space. 

This quiz is 35 questions long and includes an array of question types to determine your "Techie" type. This quiz is based off of our knowledge and tech trends, however, there is currently no supporting research to back this quiz. So at the end of the day, its just something fun that we hope gives you something to talk with your friends and family about, and increases your tech knowledge in a way you desire.

We welcome feedback as we further develop our "formula" and our social space (blog). For collaborations and virtual communication with us, email us at confettitechie@gmail.com 

Cheers!

What Type of Techie are You?

Question 1 of 35.

1. The Voice or So You Think You Can Dance
2. Big Bang Theory
3. Mr. Robot
4. The Walking Dead and/or Game of Thrones
5. Any TGIT Show
Question 2 of 35.

Choose the example below that BEST describes how you would successfully market a community event:

1. Using my design skills or connections, I would create fliers and hand them around town, word of mouth works best in my opinion because it adds a personal touch
2. I would hope it would be a collaborative effort so I can hear from my team members on best strategies and help implement them. I'm a team player.
3. I would gather a team and present successful marketing strategies I've found in my experience. We would then work on delegating the work based on our ideas we brainstorm after the presentation.
4. Using my CB Radio, I would drive around town with group of friends the week of the event and yell out the details to those we see in the area.
5. I would make a fun video with my dog (or any other adorable animal) encouraging the community to come to the event. After completion, I would send out on all social channels available.
Question 3 of 35.

Describe your preferred filing system (for home or work - as long as it is what you choose and not requirement from someone else):

1. Everything is in the cloud (Google Drive, iCloud, Cloud Home, etc) - I don't keep many actual paper files because I scan everything and store it on the computer.
2. I keep everything backed up digitally on an external hard drive, and keep all paper files for at least 3 years.
3. Honestly, all paper, and if it is digital and needs to be filed, I print it out.
4. I back up all files on a hard drive or cloud to save storage, I even keep my music on the cloud so it doesn't take up space on my computer, and I shared my personal and pet health files with my family so it can be accessed easily in an emergency.
5. It really depends on what it is. I sort and file based on the types of documents present and take advantage of a hard drive and/or cloud based service if needed.
Question 4 of 35.

If you could only choose ONE of the following apps to use for a week, what would it be?

1. Pinterest (Store all of my food recipes, #ootd inspiration, decorating ideas, workout plans, fun life hacks, and adorable pet photos)

2. Passwords - "Ok I need to try to figure out how to keep the same password, make it secure, and add a special character."
3. There are too many apps, I just want to have a few.
4. When technology isn't updated (For example, you've learned all of the content you can, you have defeated the last level on the game, and/or the application isn't programmed to function with the new software updates).
5. When technology is invasive; I feel like someone is always watching me - what about privacy?
6. It's never fast enough for me!
7. When a product or service doesn't have instructions or tutorials on how to use the technology.

3. Hybrid watch that not only maintains a traditional watch face, but also, tracks my health and flashes for notifications.
4. Something that does as much as possible! (Music, apps, GPS, emails, etc - the more ways to use it, the better.) *5 stars if it works with my smart home gadgets.

4. There are so many factors that I base what technology I buy on, but getting it as soon as it comes out isn't high on my priority list.
5. I probably won't know about it unless I walk in a tech store, see the app while browsing, or someone tells me I need it to be honest.
