Are you a Digital Resident or a Digital Visitor? Developing a quiz resource

When looking for resources to include in a session on living digitally this week, I wanted some kind of quiz to help students identify themselves on a spectrum. Not finding anything I decided to try and create a quiz around the Digital Visitor/Digital Identity model:
Visitors and Residents: A new typology for online engagementby David S. White and Alison Le Cornu.First Monday, Volume 16, Number 9 – 5 September 2011http://www.uic.edu/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/viewArticle/3171/3049
So here is my sample quiz - just four questions for now, taken from the ideas introduced in the paper, to start a discussion.

[if you are reading this anywhere other than my blog site then the embedded form might not work -  here is a direct link to the quiz]






Once you've taken the quiz, please leave me a comment below to tell me how accurate you feel the results are? Did the questions offer responses you thought appropriate? What better questions could we use as well or instead?

I hope we can develop this into a useful resource to not only help students position themselves but also to help us all question our practices and understand the wide range of attitudes amongst our colleagues.

An awful lot of people are scoring 30, presumably my twitter followers, who I would have assumed were residents. I might lower the scoring bands, or add extra questions that provide alternate routes to residency - 4 questions isn't much choice!
