Seems like the majority of the country is gruntled, which is a good thing. As opposed to disgrunlted, which would be bad.
ah, right you are.
Ryan’s right – gruntled=good, disgruntled=bad
Thanks for linking my project.
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%!
hehe, i didn’t even notice that. i scored 72%! the life of a graduate student must suit me :)
Is it a bad sign if I’m disgruntled at my reported lack of gruntledness? :) Entertaining in any case!
The test must not be very accurate. You’re a happyHuman!
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!
