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?

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!

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.

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

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.

3. There are too many apps, I just want to have a few.
