What Class Are You?

[Linna Heartbooger]

Failure/child/waste of assets
But this one says "traditional working class."

A child is not a waste of assets.
Therefore, you can only be one or the other.

Also, I beat you!

Precariat
This is the poorest and most deprived class group.
Tend to mix socially with people like themselves
Come from a working class background
Rent their home - over 80%

I win!
This is what I was hoping to get (for reasons of my own) ...but I didn't think I actually would.

I clicked on the link to browse the article but didn't answer the questions. Do they seriously think they can pigeonhole people based on only five questions? Well, I have a classification for the people who came up with this quiz: insipid. I am being nice, there, because I was going to go with "stupid".

Except for the fact that we rent rather than own a house, we have a traditional 1950s household--I am the sole breadwinner while she stays at home then oversees the kids when they get home from school.

Not only have the old socioeconomic groups diffused to the point where their definitions no longer have any meaning, we shouldn't worry about classifying people into equivalence classes. This kind of thinking helps foster an "us or them" mentality and keeps the arbitrarily-defined groups wary of each other.

There's actually a full questionnaire elsewhere, but it took me a while to spot the link. The one on the BBC News site is a watered down version of the full one - though TBH I've not tried the full one to see the difference, because it requires registration.

If you go through the questions without answering any, the test labels you "Traditional working class".

Fairly accurate in my case. The cultural part amused me- watching the bars fight each other as I admitted to listening to jazz AND indie rock AND hip hop AND going to galleries.
