While outsiders may see Indiana as a state full of just farmland, we know we’re a pretty diverse group. It takes all types of people, and here in Indiana, there are some pretty common, albeit stereotypical types of people you’ll find. Which one are you?
- The Trucker
wikimedia Indiana is basically in the heart of the country, making it a prime place for travel and distribution centers. As a result, we all know a trucker or two.
- The Hipster

- The IU Fan

- The Purdue Fan

- The Bicyclist
S Van Deman/Flickr Bicycling is very popular in Indiana, with Indianapolis even partaking in a bikeshare program. These bicyclists are all about fitness, reducing their carbon footprint, and pushing their limits.
- The Foodie

- The Crafter
Kelly D Photography/Flickr They’re always turning trash into treasure, squeal when they see garage sale signs, and most of their home decor is homemade.
- The Farmer
United Soybean Board/Flickr Okay, Indiana isn’t all farmland, but we definitely do have a lot of farms. Everyone here knows at least one farmer.
- The Country Dweller
Jorge Gonzalez/Flickr Many Hoosiers know this state was founded on small town living and prefer the peace and quiet of the country to city life.
- The Young Professional
Acumen_/Flickr Not to be confused with hipsters, this type can be found running start ups, attending local conferences, and plastered all over LinkedIn.
- The Motorcyclist
osseous/Flickr Motorcycles are huge in Indiana and most motorcyclists are pretty into their ride.
- The Beer Lover
Greg Hounslow/Flickr They might be creating their own brew or may be a beer snob, but either way, the beer lover always knows where to go for the finest craft beers.
- The Artist
pixabay Indiana is home to a pretty creative crew and you’re bound to know an artist or creative of some sort.
Of course these are only some of the most common types of people found in our fair state. What do you think? Do you fit any of these stereotypes?
