The Lorax
(You scored 23% Grinchification 43% Cathatitude 90% Loraxity 43% Hoponpoppiness)



You are: The Lorax The Lorax is a story about the environmental impact of large corporations. Like the Lorax, you're a very nice person, and you're very aware of the world around you. You are more likely to get involved with political or activist causes. You also tend to be more down to earth than whimsical. The lower your Grinchification score, the nicer you are. The higher your Cathatitude/Hoponpoppiness score, the more whimsical and creative you are. The higher your Loraxity score, the more concerned you are with the world around you, politics and activism.

I'm so happy, the Hip will be playing here in Chicago at a little place called The Vic. One advantage of not being a huge band down here. I'll be able to look right up GD's nose if I want to.
HIP! HIP! HIP!
