About This Quiz

After a long day under the fluorescent lights at work, have you ever dreamed of something different? Perhaps you wish you were a pilot, sailor, or professional soccer player. Or maybe all that "Red Dead Redemption" you play makes you wish you lived in the Old West. 

Just imagine it! Instead of sitting in an uncomfortable office chair in a cubicle, you'd ride a chestnut mare through stunning desert landscapes. Your reputation wouldn't depend on how well-written your emails were; instead, you'd be judged by how quickly you could draw a gun. At night, you wouldn't fall asleep in an IKEA bed. Instead, you'd fall asleep next to a mesquite fire, the night sky above you brilliant with stars.

If this fantasy appeals to you, you're going to dig this quiz. We're going to ask you how you'd behave in various hypothetical Old West situations, scoring your answers according to how closely they match various cowboy personality types. We'll also inquire about your habits, pet peeves and love life. At the end of the quiz, we'll reveal which cowboy type you are, as well as the very Southern cowboy name that matches it. Are you intrigued yet? Good. Let's get quizzing!
