You got 25 points.

0–43: A second-generation (or more) upper-middle-class person who has made a point of getting out a lot.
Pretty accurate.
Also sys, wow.
-
You got 50 points.
The higher your score, the thinner your bubble. The lower, the more insulated you might be from mainstream American culture.
11–80: A first-generation upper-middle-class person with middle-class parents. Typical: 33.
I wouldn't say this is accurate for me. I would say I'm more in the 0-43 range. Although what is the definition of upper-middle class, or where does upper-middle transcend into upper class? I've seen before two times the median income, and by that measure I'm second generation upper class.
-
Also sys, wow.
i think i got downgraded because i spent a really long time in college of some kind and/or living mostly outside of the us. a lot of the questions had a "in the us" or "except while in college" caveat. i also don't watch much tv or many movies, which may also have pushed my score down.

42–100: A first-generation middle-class person with working-class parents and average television and movie going habits. Typical: 66.
11–80: A first-generation upper-middle-class person with middle-class parents. Typical: 33.
Not at all accurate

I think the descriptions of class are wrong, though.

You are probably right. I saw a almost all the movies and did not see one of the TV shows.
Prediction: michi will be the only one to beat your score, or KK... probably be more tho....

I got a 52.

Michigancat grew up on a farm, he's in the 30's minimum. Salt of the earth

if michigancat gets a higher score than mine, then the test is invalid. sorry to have wasted everyone's time.

aren't those the same for everybody?

Don't be ashamed to post it sys
0–20: A second-generation (or more) upper-middle-class person with the television and movie going habits of the upper middle class. Typical: 2.

i'd have to retake the quiz to generate the text again. i thought the ranges were the same for everyone.

48–99: A lifelong resident of a working-class neighborhood with average television and movie going habits. Typical: 77.

Pretty sure they are the same, just huge ranges

I think the questions are pretty lack luster. I've always sought out people very different from myself to be friends/acquaintances with. Grew up a working class kid in a shitty neighborhood.
Charles Murray is a moron.
-
So you can only jump one class above your parents? Why aren't there any upper class with working class parents?
-
Stopped at the first question. Who knows the educational background of their 50 closest neighbors? Nobody does. Marxist bull feces emanating from the likes of government radio.

It's based on a quiz from Charles Murray's work. You should look him up, you'd probably agree with a lot of his takes.
-

And apparently you can't go down a class.

Just mark "yes" and then type your age into the follow-up question.

33, fit more with the 0-43 description
-

The interesting part of that question is it did not exclude college, where I assume generally a vast majority of your neighbors don't have a degree

Yeah, that and most people just don't have college degrees. If you don't know your neighbors are mostly professionals, they probably aren't.

Meh. Big deal. Embrace who you are. I took it a few weeks ago. Scored somewhere around 80. Poor parents. Rural living most of my life. I like Blacklist.

Though I should be in the 0-43, I've gotten out "a lot a lot," working on site in Canada more than "exposed" me to plenty of things.

You got 58 points.

It was probably more the 18 years you lived in Moran.

43. Going on a fishing trip with a bunch of guys chiefing heaters all weekend really raised my score

This quiz was hard and I gave up halfway through. I felt like most were asking questions taken verbatim from the score descriptions.

What if I know that Jimmy Johnson is both a NASCAR driver and a football coach?

Jimmy isn't the NASCAR driver, Jimmie is!
-

I don't remember which way it was spelled in the quiz. Maybe I got downgraded (or upgraded) because I picked the wrong one.

It was Jimmie in the quiz. I only know because I see the Jimmie Johnson Chevrolet ads all the time.

59. The descriptions are stupid and vague. I wish they would have had a question about how stupid and vague the results were going to be. I could ask you 25 questions and provide you a much better description of your life than they did. What a waste of time. :curse:

They weren't really trying to describe your life so much as to tell you how insulated from American culture you are. Anything over a 50 is a good score, imo.

Kinda funny considering it's the economic elite that drive American culture (e.g. the Kardashians).

I don't think the scoring works like that. 50 should be the "best" score, meaning you have experienced both spectrums in some way. As you move away from 50 in either direction you become more insulated.

gE needs a committee to vet this type of online quiz before allowing it to be posted for all of us to waste our time on. Who even started this stupid thread? (My apologies if it was Steve Dave.)

Who is more important to the economy, the 10 or whatever people in the family, or the millions of people spending money on their crap? If the Kardashians didn't exist it's not like that money wouldn't be spent on someone else's crap. The Kardashians are the benefactors not the force.

I think that's the way it should work, but the questions would need to be a lot more balanced to give that sort of result. There would need to be questions with lists of books you've read, if you've ever been to Europe, etc. You can't just assume that because somebody has been to Branson and knows who Jimmie Johnson is that they are insulated from the other spectrum.

The questions are definitely Marxist bull feces

Well, that's true, but our culture would then be different.

68 and worldly a.f. I wonder how much higher my score would have been if I didn't shun smokers and didn't make it a point to not hang out with people with whom I'd have political arguments with? Gross, no thanks.

That have you lived in a town of less than 50,000 for work question was quite the pickle. Garden City is right on the fence. That did help on neighborhoods I've lived where the vast majority of ppl don't have college degrees.

Didn't you grow up in Eudora? The population there is under 10,000.

Good call. I was there for 4 years. I thought the question was as a working adult. I lived in Brush Colorado and western texas growing up too.

I'm pretty sure the questions that don't say something like "over the last year" are supposed to cover your entire life.

So, I retook the quiz because it seemed like my number was way too high compared to everyone elses.
I guess, I'm just your normal every day every man.
You got 85 points.
The higher your score, the thinner your bubble. The lower, the more insulated you might be from mainstream American culture.
See below for scores Charles Murray would expect you to get based on the following descriptions.
48–99: A lifelong resident of a working-class neighborhood with average television and movie going habits. Typical: 77.

Ya I guess if you don't like your score just take it again and give different answers until you like your score.

11–80: A first-generation upper-middle-class person with middle-class parents. Typical: 33.
