How are you going to score this? A question with a choice can't have a yes/no response. 😎

4.Do you identify as a New Hampshirite or a person from New Hampshire?

Yes

Sometimes

My guess is that if you consider yourself either one it's a yes instead of choosing one or the other. Having to choose though would have made more sense.

Agreed. For me, born and raised in NH, I have never called myself a new hampshirite.

So I read this as two DIFFERENT questions.

Do you consider yourself a new hampshirite OR as a person from NH.

My answer would be I ID as a person from NH

Thanks for giving my survey a look and for your question! Yes, as u/TheMoosebox guessed, if you consider yourself either of those things, the answer is yes.

It's a little more straightforward on the Vermont side of things, where "Vermonter" is a pretty commonly used term, but I wanted to put both terms on for New Hampshire since I know that "New Hampshirite" (the official demonym according to the US General Publishing Office) isn't used by a lot of people who would still say they're from New Hampshire.
