What are your opinions
I call bullshit:
"11–80: A first-generation upper-middle-class person with middle-class parents. Typical: 33. "
We were NEVER upper-middle-class! And nowadays I struggle just to stay ahead of the bills. So what, I'm insulated because I don't watch American Idol???
(And that bit about how the marching band doesn't count kind of pissed me off...)

This test seems somewhat bias against urbanites. Most people in big cities like New York, San Fransisco, Los Angeles, Seattle etc will not be driving pick up trucks, they would be riding sedans or taking public transportation

And plenty of millionaires ride pickup trucks. One of the fascinating things from
The Millionaire Mind or
The Millionaire Next door (those two books kind of blend together for me, so I can't remember what was in which book).
I didn't read the post (yet) cited in8 the OP, but I make about $46,000 a year, and I have like $ 80=125 a month, after my obligations to spend on "myself". Unlike Shane, I don't have a wife, an autistic child, and (possibly) other children to worry about. And WTF is wrong with pickups? If they (meaning Ford, Chevy, Nissan) come up with one that gets a reasonable gas mileage and *Isn't* this huge thing that I have to swing wide into the parking spot, I may consider it.

Toyota has some smaller ones that are pretty nice.
Actually, thinking back over the questions (digs at marching band, chess club, etc.), I think I've sussed out his agenda:

I got a score of 40, putting me in that range...I don't yet have a job and my family is working class...More of this "social class is a permanent and real thing, etc" bullshit I was spoonfed in sociology class. Fucktards. Ironic that by their definition, all politicians are about as "American" as Pluto, yet I don't see a single word about them...Nor do I see it on the ivory tower sociologists who no doubt made that shit-stain of a 'quiz.'

I somehow got 2
scored 52: it's extremely inaccurate in its assessment, and some of the questions make little sense--explanations and all.
