    50... I need to check my privilege more.

    Load of rubbish.

    135. While I quaff my brandy and smoke my cigar


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,870 ✭✭✭✭Generic Dreadhead


    Just No.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,628 ✭✭✭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

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,557 ✭✭✭munster87


    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.

    Take the privilege test and find out - http://i.imgur.com/DRAcqyc.png

    I got 140.:cool:
    The status section is fcuked. There's huge gaps between the ranges.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,562 ✭✭✭✭Sunnyisland


    I am so privileged it won't let me do the test :-)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,925 ✭✭✭✭anncoates

    Really rub it in their face, like?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    Survey looks like a primary school project.

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,100 ✭✭✭Starscream25


    The attractiveness part screwed my score up, 105


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,141 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 709 ✭✭✭Timothy Bryce


    160.

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

    AFFLUENCE!!

    I think you underestimate Primary School coding skills!

    155
    No idea what it's supposed to mean.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    165. Should get +10 for being able to do it in work.

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