JCC Do You Live in a bubble?

If you score really low, you live in a bubble. If you score really high, you live in a "Bub ball."

Anyway, it's refreshing to see PBS diving into the Facebook bait game:

I scored a 27.

"11–80: A first-generation upper-middle-class person with middle-class parents." Nailed it.

 

I got 30, also the same range as you.

 

****, ****, ****, how did they know?

 

I got a 28.

 

38 Points.

>11–80: A first-generation upper-middle-class person with middle-class parents. Typical: 33.

Spoiler

I suspect everyone who doesn't live in America lives in a bubble going by this quiz's logic

 

Can we talk about this description graphic:



I mean... what?

 

I live in a giant bucket.

whoa, we tied.

 

COASTAL ELITIST!!!

BURN THE WITCH!!!

 

I have a hard time answering some of the questions as a non-American. I mean, if the intention is to find out how in touch I am with the working class in general, I can ignore the word "American" in all the questions. If the intention is to find out how in touch I am with the American working class, specifically, then I have to answer differently.

Also, when it asks me if I have lived in a rural area: my family has when I grew up, but not by choice. Refugees are settled whenever the state decides to settle them. Do I then answer yes or no? Have I been friends with evangelical Christians? I have been friends with kids from devout Christian families, or as an adult with a practicing Christian, but I don't know how they compare doctrinally to American evangelicals. I mean, people are protestant here too, so I guess they're close...

I ignored the word "American" and answered no on the rural residence question. I scored 34.

 

Odo?!

I got 61. Y'all need to get out more.

 

I stopped at question 2: my Dad was a technician, no managerial position, the first 10 years of my life before starting his own business. The test is this flawed.

 

Hey, at least by being members of a Star Wars forum none of us are completely insulated from the 'average white American'.

According to question 22 we are all salvageable!

 

The question about friends who would seldom get better than Cs, even if they studied hard is trying to get at whether I attended private schools, but even the good high schools are public here. So, from high school age my social circle changed to a bubble, but not in the economic sense. Does that count, or is he only interested in the economic bubble?

I did have friends who would qualify, but that was before high school.

I answered yes regardless, and yes on the rural residence question, and this time I got 44...

 

Given the amount of time and care you're taking over this, I'm going to say you're a 15.
