Birneybau

Load of rubbish.

drdidlittle

135. While I quaff my brandy and smoke my cigar

Generic Dreadhead

Just No.

Señor Fancy Pants

I got -2,580.

I'm a black, intersex, gay, transgender, Jewishy person from the Middle East. I'm also a homeless, disfigured and blind scientist....also a midget!

Is that bad? That's bad isn't it?

While I'm all for considering your privilege and your situation and trying to be emphatic for anyone who doesn't have your privilege/situation, that test is far too broad to be anything other than stupid.

as a black transgendered woman jew from Yemen, I can confirm that chart is completely correct

I hate being a poor, black, homeless, disfigured, blind, transsexual, gay, Muslim from the Middle East. And my job as a scientist, that's the worst part.

The status section is fcuked. There's huge gaps between the ranges.

Is a croke the collective name for Bulls? I would have thought it should be a herd of bulls but maybe not...

You guys/gals/? should set up a support group.

Starscream25

The attractiveness part screwed my score up, 105

Stealthfins

Privileged enough to not have to do the test.

You can name it if you like. Something classy, like...I dunno....'The Truffle Pig Centre for people who aren't the right type of anything club'? For midgets, of course.

Timothy Bryce

160.

In fairness, Dad still pays my phone bill, rent and gives me €200 a week 'mad money'.

AFFLUENCE!!

We could team up for a movie like the expendables. Maybe 'The Unfortunates'?

How does one go about checking their privilege exactly? Is it like checking for lumps?

Teachers only get a few months off for Summer if you're unemployed you get every month off!

And they're a bit harsh on Scientists! My Dads a Scientist maybe that should bring my score down?

Just out of interest, I'm presuming Ireland fits into the Europe (shít) category..?

Nah! Bull is an abbreviation. A croke is a container for same .

Does being one of the one percent who own half the world count? I can't be bothered to look. Perhaps someone would be nice enough to to do that for me and report back.

It says at the bottom choose closest if you take that as literally closest then you can claim the +15 for Europe (meh)! Yay 15 more privilege points!!

Not sure since it's mostly a straight white male job, I thought it would be +200

Women don't really go into stem.

If you quit then you get 15 more points. I think you know what you have to do.

We get an Automatic -5000 points for being a$$holes

Being a wealthy blind man in Ireland puts you down with the sub-saharan muslim women.

Im not entirely convinced this test is scientific
