I think I've seen that quiz before. I think I hated it then, and still hate it now.

There are plenty of working class in non-small town metro areas.

I don't even like the first question. - b. Dec 12, 11:19
69. No bubble. -- nm - jnine Dec 12, 11:07
That said, I think everyone should take the quiz and assess the questions/methodology for themselves. -- nm - ty97 Dec 12, 10:16
"You got 56 points." -- nm - David Dec 12, 10:06 8
- 34 points: A second-generation (or more) upper-middle-class person who has made a point of getting out a lot. - Marlowe Dec 12, 10:59

  - 41. I have trouble with questions like "did you letter in school?" No such thing in Australian schools when I was there. -- nm - Meg Dec 12, 10:24 5
    - I suppose lettering in Drama doesn't count, if they exclude debate Team and chess club? -- nm - znufrii Dec 12, 10:35 1
      - 37, fwiw -- nm - znufrii Dec 12, 10:38
    - 36 -- nm - decline Dec 12, 10:29 2
      - I got a 65 because I grew up poor, have worked in a factory and know who Jimmie Johnson is. - Diva Dec 12, 10:36 1
        
        yes -- nm - decline Dec 12, 10:40
something an elitist would say -- nm - decline Dec 12, 10:06
Right but in a smaller town it's a lot less easy to wall yourself off from people in different strata than it is in larger cities. -- nm - spamlet Dec 12, 10:00 13
- I come from a small town. There was no "other". -- nm - Reagen Dec 12, 10:06

  - This has been one of my pet peeves since the election. If you don't live in a small town, or in middle Americas, or if you're not white working class - ty97 Dec 12, 10:11 6
    - very few things make me see red more than "real America." -- nm* - Mel Profit Dec 12, 10:17

      - Working class is far broader than just manufacturing, but yes -- nm - ty97 Dec 12, 10:15 3
        
        Would entry level service industry jobs count? Like working a fast food register. -- nm - Max Dec 12, 10:21 1
        
        If you did it in high school/college, I'd say no. If you do it as your career, I would think so. -- nm - ty97 Dec 12, 10:24

- So in a small town, it's easier to be in a bubble? Where's that quiz? - ty97 Dec 12, 10:03 3
  - "in a smaller town it's a lot less easy to wall yourself off..." is like the exact opposite of your subject line. -- nm - IrishStephen Dec 12, 10:08 1
    - But isn't the complaint that we "elitists" don't live in small towns, ergo, the small towns are walled off? -- nm - ty97 Dec 12, 10:10
  - [deleted]
(and that's the first of MANY complaints) -- nm - ty97 Dec 12, 09:58 1

no no, everyone in NYC is a lawyer or a banker. -- nm - Reagen Dec 12, 09:57
