    No idea what it's supposed to mean.

    It means you just wasted 2 minutes of your life.

    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?

    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.

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

    Im not entirely convinced this test is scientific

    Complete bollox.

    Male +25, female -50

    What **** is this? You can go from non-priveledged to very just by having a penis.

    Again, bollox.

    It's not about the penis, women can has penises too but you are too privileged to realise that

    It's probably either because it's based on being a scientist in a country like North Korea or because you're going to burn in hell for questioning the bible.

    I like how being born in Europe means your privilege varies but being born in the states means automatic privilege. Some people in the states are horrendously poor and even with hard work would be lucky to get the same money as someone in Europe gets for sitting on their hole doing nothing all day.

    I also like how there are only 4 jobs of worth in the entire global economy. Owning your own business doesn't even cut it.

    It's all about relative privilege as opposed to absolute privilege.

    The Privilege Purchasing Power in sub-Saharan Africa is a lot lower than in Europe
