I think the results so far suggest that the LA-dar is has more in common with gaydar than my flippant wordplay even considered. Hypothesis: similar to gaydar, an average, not overly-LA person will possess some — but not a great many — characteristics that qualify as typically "LA." What the LA-dar does is detect the outstanding cases. Someone scoring higher than say, 20 or so would then be a person about whom you would say, "[he/she] is so LA."

I think you shorted yourself by one point: in #4 there are six one-point questions, and the one -1 question. So if you're a yes on all of them except the fake-bake parlors, that would be five points. So, 11 points. Eleven?!? Out of a possible 48? ...Your L.A. apartment is in Portland. OK, if you have your heart set on it being somewhere in L.A., then it's a treehouse in Topanga with a hemp doormat that says "This One Goes Up to Eleven."

I got ten points:

1) Yoga and cellphone (2 pts)
2) Politics and Orange County (2 pts)
3) Employed in another capacity in the entertainment industry (1 pt)
4) All EXCEPT tanning salons (+5,-1 = 4 pts)
5) Declined social invites because of parking situation (1 pt)

So, where’s my LA apartment?
