    Actually that's the less-than-obvious reason for posting this quiz - critique it.

    You got a 40? are you upper class champagne sipping fun time bears?

    I got a 51.

    Honestly, I felt this quiz dealt mostly with stereotypes, and I felt like it was being condescending the entire time. Like, YES, I know what Branson is, I live in smurfing Missouri. Asking where you went to eat and crap (although I marked 0 on all of the restaurants given.)

    It wouldn't surprise me the PBS DOCTORATE assholes made this quiz themselves.

    I chose to do this even though I'm not American. As such, I scored 20. I am part of the American upper-middle class xD.

    I agree with this sentiment.
    Also, I got an 82. I have no idea what this number means because I neither read the article nor analyzed the results; after feeling the stupidity emanating from this "quiz" it just didn't feel like the results were relevant.

    EDIT: After skimming some of the crap that site was spewing, I think the fact that I got a higher score means I've lived a more full (or at least more fun) life than those iwth lower scores. Or maybe it has something to do with being cultured and experiencing different ways of life, which I got a lot of being shuffled between foster families for four years.

    This is beyond stupid and I'm completely incapable of actually taking the test. How am I supposed to know if my neighbors have college degrees? I've never spoken with them and likely never will.

    I got a 46. But I feel like the quiz should have taken age into consideration xD

    I knew who Jimmy Johnson was. I did not know about Bransen.

    EDIT:

    ^This might be able to help with the college degree thing, depending on where you live.

    Fuzz: Basically, the higher the score, the more lower class you are.

    This quiz forces you to make a lot of unnecessary assumptions.

    And what the hell question 11? I've served in the armed forces, and I know what all of those insignias are, but just having served in the military isn't a specific qualifier. I got a 63.

    That quiz is dumb and offensive, as it makes a significant amount of stereotypes that don't actually matter. How does owning a pickup truck make me more lower class? Going fishing? What the hell.

    I know a guy in Michigan who has never been in a position where there weren't at least two people in his house who made more than $50,000 a year. He has a pickup truck because of its practicality and dependability. Does that make him lower class? smurfing pbs.

    I think the people who developed this test need to get the hell out of their own "cultural bubble."

    Sorry for the double post, it's not letting me edit my previous one for some reason.
