Are You a REAL Yooper?

The following quiz is made by me. I consider myself a true Yooper, but I have my biases. Stereotypical Yooper culture tends to be defined by the Finnish culture, the Western U.P., loggers and miners, the long and severe Winters in some areas, etc.

Are you a true Yooper? This quiz will give you an idea of how you compare to a Yooper as defined by me! If you think I'm off my rocker, please let me know, and you can help me refine it!
