    Seems like the majority of the country is gruntled, which is a good thing. As opposed to disgrunlted, which would be bad.

    Did anyone take the Personal Gruntledness Index (PGI) survey? There is a tab at the bottom of the NGI - you can measure your personal gruntledness - it is hilarious! I scored a 52%!

    Is it a bad sign if I’m disgruntled at my reported lack of gruntledness? :) Entertaining in any case!

    LOL! I love the questions asked on the survey! I am on the lower end of the personal gruntledness scale for the area I live in - I just compared my PGI with the NGI. It is cool to see what the most gruntled jobs are where I live!
