BROWN PRAGMATOX
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who is always ready and willing to help others. Family and friends realize that you carefully consider every expenditure that you make. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time touring the new suburban shopping complex seeking to buy either a case for your designer sunglasses or arch supports for your shoes. Be on the lookout for jovial bank tellers. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter R, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 386092. Your preferred shopping venue is thrift stores. Your special symbol is the comma (,).
Is this You?
As a Brown Pragmatox, you are down-to-earth and practical. You are hard working and industrious. You are frugal to the point that you might even refrain from making a purchase that you really, really need. Doing so often causes problems down the road. You definitely go with function over form and substance over style.
This isn't me! What am I?
