Have you ever felt like you were where you belonged, but perhaps not when you belonged? In the process of learning about history, many people come to romanticize certain times and places in history. Sometimes, we get very hung up on a certain decade for its art, fashion, music and culture. Other times, it's a more complex idea married to a prevalent ideology of the day, such as chivalry, The Enlightenment or the abolitionist movement.

Sometimes it can be hard to decide which era really is one's favorite. Self knowledge is imperfect, and often we lack the insight to accurately assess our own feelings with clarity. This is why we often regret decisions like when we order food, choose a color for an item of clothing, or pick a vacation destination. This problem is about a lot more than just fear of missing out. It is about how we process our own competing fears and desires. Restaurants often try to make these decisions easier by providing smaller menus, which make it easier for diners to choose without worrying about it.

We devised the ultimate test for which era you truly belong in. Just answer our handy list of "would you rather"s and we'll plug the data into our analysis. This will reveal once and for all how you should set that time machine your neighbor is working on.
