	How wabi sabi are you? I have embraced it fully. I can see the value of it and will incorporate some aspects of it into my life. I can take it or leave it. I'd rather eat wasabi and leave the wabi sabi. Not interested, I like my life the way it is.

	Are you a cultural Creative? Definitely, I'm environmentally conscious, interested in community, and turned off by commercialism and consumerism. I want to live simply and deeply and act creatively through writing, gardening, or some other creative endeavour. I'm interested but not willing to leave the suburban comfort zone. No, but do have some of the same values.   No, my values are completely different.

	Which Aspect of Wabi Sabi is MOST important to you? The sense of a beauty rooted in age and the passage of time. The value it places on character. The avenue it offers for accepting change and impermanence. The focus on noticing each moment. The way it stimulates creativity. The way it connects us with nature. Its spiritual depth as part of the "Way of Elegance." The balance it brings to our mass market culture. Its "beyond words" quality.
