What's Your GenMindset?

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.

You will receive an email with a link to your results immediately after completion.

Your responses will also be collected as part of a pool of data that will provide the basis for a Whitepaper (Generational Perspectives: 2020) to be published by PPI in early 2020.
