load of crap yet some parts are true.
I don't think you can categorize someone by a questionnaire!

63/100

Yeah, being a white, straight, Protestant male really does drive the score up a lot. Personally, I'm actually surprised it wasn't higher.

What's the perspective. National?,Global?, Historical? Because on a historical scale, I could live in a dumpster and my life would still be in the top 50%.
The questions seem designed for a younger American audience, so I'd say national (assuming you're American) and definitely not historical.

On a related note, I got a 9/100 on the how white are you quiz... that seems really wrong xD
I don't even think I managed to get that high on the quiz. Being told I know how to dance, though, was really funny.

Damn.
Anyone here want to throw me some of their privilege?
I feel unprivileged and alone.
Alone I say!
According to this faulty quiz I don't have much to spare, but I do have some bourbon and wine. I think we should get drunk and wreck shit.

Also indulge in copious amounts of blaming Colour for our woes.

Down with the privileged! Up with the poor and otherwise disadvantaged!
But I'm feelin kinda lazy. My unprivileged life leaves me tired and sore. We'll get to the revolution later right? Like tomorrow or next week maybe?

45/100. Apparently not especially privileged. Would probably be a lot higher if for the last ~4 years of my life said life hadn't gone to shit.

60/100.

Straight, white, male, non-religious, living in Australia. That'll do it.

I don't pull suits off very well sheep! D:

Don't worry. I look fantastic in suits so I can style for the two of us :D
You can wear whatever you want so you can better subjugate our new slaves Empire's citizens.

50/100, so in other words it seems like I'm kind of on the cusp of being considered privileged. Honestly thought my score would've been higher.

Nothing says subjugation attire like a Gimp suit nice robotic power armor with flamethrowers. I think I'll go with that xD

OT: ...And to get back on topic a little bit, as much as I hate the term check your privilege for how dismissive and condescending it sounds, It is a good thing to remember what you do have in life. It puts things in perspective.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

-Epicurus

Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.

-Epicurus

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

You have power over your mind - not always outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

-Marcus Aurelius

81/100. Greeted by a large picture of "You're the most privileged".

The most silver of spoons in and around my mouth. Thank you.

[quote/]You live with 66 out of 100 points of privilege.

You?re quite privileged. You?ve had a few struggles, but overall your life has been far easier than most. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. But you should be aware of your advantages and work to help others who don?t have them. Thank you for checking your privilege.[/quote]

not surprising....

I got 39 out of 100

[sub]You?re not privileged at all. You grew up with an intersectional, complicated identity, and life never let you forget it. You?ve had your fair share of struggles, and you?ve worked hard to overcome them. We do not live in an ideal world and you had to learn that the hard way. It is not your responsibility to educate those with more advantages than you, but if you decide you want to, go ahead and send them this quiz. Hopefully it will help.[/sub]

I don't know if I would score THAT low...my parents divorced, I'm mildly depressed, I don't self identify as male or straight but that's because I would consider myself a non-sexual humanoid with a penis...I'm definitely poor though (or rather, I consider myself poor) and people want to touch my hair and ask if my hair is real because I have really, really long hair. I don't think I would be that low but honestly, I don't see myself being past the mid-40's...

While I feel slightly more privileged than a 45 the text blurb is right on target.
