I don’t think they are going for devoutly religious. They are going solely for Evangelical, strictly Duck Dynasty white people. My conservative Catholic family does not qualify.
I scored 25. I need to reevaluate my life.
54
Interestingly enough, this was my closest descriptor, which throws me out of range:
0–43: A second-generation (or more) upper-middle-class person who has made a point of getting out a lot. Typical: 9.
My parents and I were fairly late bloomers in becoming upper-middle class though.
The test is probably somewhat useful in cumulatively but says nothing about an individual. I had to answer no to a bunch of questions because it would be impossible for me to do those things. Like the restaurant question. I don’t think there are any of those places within 50 miles of my house. Others were similarly useless for other reasons.
Same score. I guess that makes us bubble buddies or something. I have a Ford F150 - you?
I got that as the first question, thought the same thing you did and promptly closed the page. No time to deal with poorly constructive poll questions.
I think that’s one of those questions where if you answered no or I don’t know it would be the same thing. I could knowledgeably answer yes because I knew my neighbors.
I got a 10.
What an incredibly stupid quiz. It’s basically just thinks “mainstream” America = working class poor Mid-westerners.
77, woohoo!
I am with those that read the first question and thought “How the hell am I supposed to know this?” and didn’t bother continuing. It certainly didn’t help that it required a bit of mental gymnastics to try to understand exactly what it was asking.
“I don’t know” wasn’t an option. If it were I probably would have selected that and proceeded. As it is, it’s not possible for me to answer accurately. “No” and “I don’t know” should be calculated differently. I don’t know 50 of my neighbors and never have, much less their level of education.
Precisely. People who live in this test’s “bubble” don’t know their neighbors. People who score high on this test likely know their neighbors. If there had been an “I don’t know” response, they would likely score it the same as a “no” because not knowing is a sign that you are not from the type of place they want to give credit for.
I got a score of 44.
47 here. Poor working-class upbringing in Texas counted for a lot, but I’ve been a San Francisco elitist (not really) for several years now.
74 … almost …
I’m from the blue-collar part of town … the one question tickled me “do you ever hurt after a day’s work” … does bleeding a couple times a week count? … on homebuilding I’m always smashing something or cutting or generally abusing my body … meh …
I got 46: “42–100: A first-generation middle-class person with working-class parents and average television and movie going habits. Typical: 66.” I’m actually a bit higher up the social ladder than that now, I think, but grew up in the Ohio Appalachian foothills and haven’t been sipping chablis all my life.
Or “Rural folk are less likely to have 50 neighbors, much less know them”. I can see your logic for more densely populated areas, but I have never lived in a place, outside a college dorm, where I had 50 “neighbors”. Sounds like the poll creators live in their own bubble…
Looks like we mostly got a 44.
Question, is this the sort of quiz that Facebook used to gather data on users? We did not sign in or anything. There was no app. Am I concerned about nothing?
I got 28. I’d guess most of the heads of household in the neighborhood where I grew up lacked college degrees, but by about a 60-40 ratio – lots of mechanics, truck drivers, and factory workers, but also plenty of degreed white-collar office workers. My dad was a “union man”, but he taught elementary school and played clarinet and sax in a band, so not the “work with his hands” type.
I got a 26.
Thank god I went fishing with my father-in-law a year ago and my best friend is an Evangelical Christian, or I’d have been single-digits for sure.
