The BOX meme
Oct. 29th, 2005 12:21 pmThe box meme
On a gloomy Sat, where one just wants to curl up and read a good book, came up with this meme that has been rolling about in my head most of the week or ever since I read the spirtuality meme online and had an interesting, albeit brief discussion with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Meme – descriptive trait.
Box – a square, rectangle or even a circle, contains items, often a defined category with label attached.
Purpose – predicting behavior and interests and personality of individual answering the questions. Determining a commonality of interest or traits in order to select friends, spouses, lovers, members of a group, employees, applicants to graduate or undergraduate programs, and private schools. Knowing who fits where, who clicks with whom. Who should be excluded and who included.
Categories/questions obtained from applications, marketing questionnaires and surveys, quiz memes, online dating matches & email questionnaires.
Rules: 1. Define the category that you are answering. EX: What do you consider your country of origin to be? What does that mean to you, is it important?
2. Is it important others share these traits? Rate importance on scale of 1-10, 10 vital, 1 not. Would you reject or select someone based on their answer? How important is their answer to you? (ex: Define Liberal or conservative – what does it mean to you and how do you perceive the category that you aren’t? If you define yourself as liberal, do you dislike and reject conversatives?)
3. Length : one word or as many as you want.
Here’s the list of questions. I’m just doing 10. You can do as many or as little as you want. The questions have one thing in common, with the possible exception of the last one, done in honor of Halloween, is that they are all used to define what people are like, categorize, and reject or select them based on their answers.
1.Country of origin (also state or territory depending on where you live)
2. religious heritage (not to be confused with religion you currently practice or don’t)
3. racial background or ethnicity
4. age
5. gender
6. height and weight
7. education
8. Television watching habits: TV shows currently watch, how many hours a week, what you enjoy, how much is news related – tv news shows you watch
9. Movie watching habits: Types of movies you watch, movies you enjoy, most recent movies, favorites
10. Reading habits: Books, magazines, newspapers, journals you are reading
11. Listening habits: Radio stations, music, ipod, mp3, just CDs, tapes
12. Food – favorite foods, food issues, foods won’t eat – Vegetarian, Non-Vegetarian, Vegan?
13. Liberal or Conservative? (can be economic or social or both)
14. Religious belief (not to be confused with heritage: ie. Are you practicing a religion and do you believe in God?)
15. Sexual Orientation
16. Sports/Athletic Pursuits (what you watch, what you play, how much time you put into watching, do you bet on them)
17. Married or single
18. Do you drink (alcohol)? Socially? Extensively? Alone? Not at all?
19. Smoke or don’t smoke?
20. Fashion or Favorite Clothes (do you pay attention to fashion? Are you a shopper?)
21. Current Abode – home you live in (apartment, house, boat, trailer) and where
22. What state or country or territory do you currently live in? What village, city, suburb?
23. Children ? (Do you have them, how many, do you plan on having them, how do you feel about them? )
24. Occupation Currently Have and Occupation Currently Dream of. (Can be one and the same)
25. What do you fear?
I’m cut tagging my answers for length and well other reasons.
