About This Quiz

You may not realize it, but every action you take is helping shape the way history and sociology books are going to be written. For example, think about nonviolent protests in America. People march by the thousands to express their opinions on issues about which they feel passionate. 

It isn't just self-expression where society has evolved. In the world of fashion, it wasn't too long ago that women only wore pants when doing housework or playing sports. In the workforce, we are still working on getting the pay scales to be equal for both genders. However, even though salaries aren't quite where they should be, there are more roles becoming available to women in every field. 

When it comes to the soul, some of us are young at heart, where change is either created or embraced. The other part of us could be considered old souls, where society's traditions are enforced. When the two of them meet, change becomes a reality while implementing rules of the past. We've created a quiz not only to gauge what era your soul is from, but we've pinned it down to the exact year. Let's see where in time your soul fits the best by taking this quiz.
