The Silent Generation: (1925-1942)

According to experts, a generation is not so much defined by a range of years, but rather by the events that were taking place during those years. So a child exposed to these events while in their formative years is a product of that generation. It is said that these events influence their personalities, giving them measurable character traits.

Experts describe you as follows:
"People presently 60 to 77 years old are part of the "Silent Generation". They were very hard working, economically conscience, and trusting of the government. They were very optimistic about the future and held a strong set of moral obligations. "
