Where you’ve lived: Los Angeles and New York and Chicago

About you: You thrive when life speeds along at a breakneck pace, and you seek out places with endless opportunities in work, entertainment, sports, and social life. Go big, or go home.

Scarcity: 4 (The higher the score, the rarer the combination.)

Where you’ve lived: SF and Portland and Brooklyn

About you: You’re so hip that you might not even look or act hip anymore. Post-hip? Wait, maybe you aren’t hip? It doesn't really matter because it's cool not to care about being cool. Regardless, you probably still have decently good taste in music, food, and nightlife.

Scarcity: 7

Where you’ve lived: New Orleans and Austin and Nashville

About you: Being able to experience live music in a small venue on any day of the week is your idea of perfection. To you, musical quality is just as important as ambiance and community, and you've lived in cities with the best of all three.

Scarcity: 5

Where you’ve lived: Colorado and Southern California

About you: You're likely a thrill seeker, and you've lived in places where the thrills are abundant. Whether it was flying down a mountain or the face of a wave, these places probably gave you some serious gnarly points.

Scarcity: 4

Where you’ve lived: South Dakota and Montana and Idaho

About you: While you're probably not an outlaw, if you want to pretend to be one, these states make it easy. There are plenty of rugged scenic hideaways and very few people around to give you a skeptical gaze.

Scarcity: 9

Where you’ve lived: The same small Midwestern city for your entire life

About you: You think oceans can be too salty and cities can be too big. For you, a comfortable scale is everything, and if you want some culture, it's worth spending a day in the car to get there. No shame.

Scarcity: 5

Where you’ve lived: San Diego and Miami and Honolulu

About you: You're probably not wearing long pants as you read this. To you, life is all about doing what you can to get to a tropical beach, and it only makes sense that you seek out cities closest to these beaches. Everyone else has been doing it wrong.

Scarcity: 8

Where you’ve lived: Alaska and Washington and Colorado

About you: You prefer to wake up to the screeching cries of eagles than the beeping of an alarm. To you, the end of a good day is picking pine needles and bark out of your clothes. Your personality is probably as big and burly as the forests you've lived near.

Scarcity: 7

Where you’ve lived: New Mexico and Vermont

About you: You've chilled out in two of America's more mellow zones. There's a decent chance you either have a Kokopelli tattoo or considered getting one in high school. Keep living to the beat of your own drum!

Scarcity: 7

Where you’ve lived: Oklahoma and Texas

About you: Like a tumbling tumbleweed, you've roamed across some mighty pretty land in your day. With the mindset of a rodeo rider, you know to hang on tight when life gets buckin'.

Scarcity: 6

Where you’ve lived: Delaware and Rhode Island and Connecticut

About you: You probably prefer to be the big fish in the small pond, and these states made you feel right at home. Small, loud, and proud!
