Privilege Test: Check Your Privilege Within!

Lyanina · 2017-06-21T14:52:33+00:00

So "I have never been raped" is privilege according to Buzzfeed? Hm.

You live with 60 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.

Only 60? I must have lost a lot of points for not being a straight white male because I am pretty damn privileged...

ETA: The "Check my privilege" quiz is really ugly, really bad, and I got "Disadvantaged with a score of -50". -_- Lol no, your questions are just dumb.

Unabummer80 · 2017-06-21T14:35:56+00:00

I cant complete the survey cos my gender isnt considered. The genders are only trans variants and cis, neither of which I identify with. So I think I must be rather oppressed, as my gender (male) isnt recognised in this survey.

ClarityofDisaster · 2017-06-21T15:04:07+00:00

Your privilege level is Extremely Oppressed with a score of -445

...the fuck? How?

Other test:

You live with 34 out of 100 points of privilege. 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.

Oh, for crying out loud... I live in America, ffs.

DemonConsulting · 2017-06-21T15:15:40+00:00

1.) 53 but a lot of the answers are very clearly US centric. I don't have student loans, never heard of that sally-thing but neither did my parents pay for my tuition because Uni is free in my country. I also didn't get a car in high school and rely on public transportation but that's because I live in an area with great public transport as is pretty much standard in all of Germany, even the smallest villages, and the ticket is included in the semester-fee (between 200-300 euro) for college.

2.) 80

Sunhappy_DC · 2017-06-21T14:41:44+00:00

Privilege Your privilege level is Extremely Oppressed with a score of -275

Well I'm a cis-gendered female first generation Christian Black West African Woman earning less than 40k a year in the American South in a red state.

Regardless, who curr? I'm happy.

**

From the other test:

You live with 20 out of 100 points of privilege.

You're underprivileged. The world is not a fair or ideal place and you know that because you grew up with several identities that the world is not kind to. You had a lot of challenges to overcome simply to get on a level playing field with most people in the world. It is not your job to educate the world about its injustices, but if you choose to, go ahead and send them this quiz. Hopefully it will help.

Atlas_B_Shruggin · 2017-06-21T15:07:41+00:00

67, a little UMC het cis white privilege was lost by being a jewish female

TheGreasyPole · 2017-06-21T15:29:35+00:00

53 out of 100 privilege.

My working class background saved my cis white male ass from being a privilege shitlord

The second test was just very inferior and a bit stupid IMO.

InformalCriticism · 2017-06-21T14:48:04+00:00

Your privilege level is SHITLORD with a score of 110.

I'm sure I would have scored a lot higher if my ex wasn't garnishing half of my take-home.

Gotta love that privilege.

hyperrreal · 2017-06-21T14:44:41+00:00

I scored 72/100 on the Buzzfeed one.

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.

MarriedLifter · 2017-06-21T15:09:17+00:00

OK, so I have all the privilege, and what I don't have, I can fake easily enough. Let's see how I do on checkmyprivilege.com:

Your privilege level is SHITLORD with a score of 175

Lol. Yeah, I live life on easy mode, no shit.

Unabummer80 · 2017-06-21T15:14:12+00:00

On the buzzfeed one I got

you live with 35 out of 100 points of privilege.

And Im a straight, white, middle-class male from a first-world country. Just goes to show you that half of the shit the SJWs complain about are not exactly clean-cut one-sided.

But they dont wanna hear about the time I got assaulted (nearly raped/murdered) because I was white, how we have to watch out for attacks on us cos we are in the wrong bar and not women, getting groped by the big monster woman in the club or at the burger place after hours, how the woman gets the promotion cos of Affirmative Action,getting rejected from the Asian Music night...

DarkLord0chinChin · 2017-06-21T15:20:06+00:00

You live with 36 out of 100 points of privilege.

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.

This is such bullshit though, I'm pretty sure as a hetero cis programmer male my privilege level is over 9000

philomexa · 2017-06-21T15:25:50+00:00

You live with 73 out of 100 points of privilege.

It helps to grow up UMC and 'pass' in a mostly white community.

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.

I hate this shit, this idea that I have to work to help others who don't have my privilege. How about no, I just live my life quietly and if I feel compelled, I'll donate my time to children's play museum or donate money to some sad sacks gofundme. I realize how easy I have it, but I resent the implication that I have to commit act of penance for the original sin of having genetically blessed, affluent parents who gave a shit about me.

The lengths SJWs will go for repentance and purity makes me feel like they're cribbing catholic catechisms.

The second test seems...off. All variables the same, an affluent attractive, cis, tech employed, normal white woman is a shitlord at 120, The same as a black woman is disadvantaged at -5, and the same as a biracial woman is advantaged at 20?

Hm. In either case, I scored advantaged on that whack ass test.

wub1234 · 2017-06-21T15:56:04+00:00

63 out of 100, I pretty much lost all of my marks for economic reasons because I was poor for most of my life, although I didn't tick the last few boxes because I struggled with being an outsider when I was younger, whereas now I've just accepted it.

I'm not doing the second quiz because to describe Germany as 'meh' is ridiculous.

5th_Law_of_Robotics · 2017-06-21T16:13:18+00:00

This is right up there with those "which Disney princess are you" quizzes.

AdamAJ · 2017-06-21T16:48:50+00:00

Shitlord? Shitlord??

You are oppressing me! Call me by my proper title, damn it! Shitprince, or shitpresident if you must, but show some respect!

Jokes aside, I am the first to say I am quite privileged... It was not always the case, anyway.

fiat_lux_ · 2017-06-21T17:02:46+00:00

One test tells me I'm underprivileged (approx 40).

The second test tells me I'm privileged (100+). The checkmyprivilege test seems like a variant of the one I posted long ago, where I scored over 200. Somehow, I'm down to around 100 now. Wtf happened to my privilege.

ethicalsaltminer · 2017-06-21T14:42:34+00:00

I personally like how normal kids don't get bullied. You could actually help more people out if you actually took a look at the majority LOL.

PieceBringer · 2017-06-21T14:48:23+00:00

0 apparently.

Archwinger · 2017-06-21T14:52:45+00:00

I'm a 140-point shitlord.

This quiz is rigged! I'm totally more privileged than this.

And 52 out of 100 ("Quite privileged") in the other test.

GinSmokeLies · 2017-06-21T15:55:07+00:00

I got a 55 ("quite privileged") on the first test and a 45 ("advantaged") on the second. Yay?

The second test was dumb, especially the question about pay. If you make between 30k and 45k there was no choice for you. I make less than 45k but I rounded up.

purpleppp · 2017-06-21T16:04:01+00:00

52/100. I'm actually pretty 'oppressed' from the identity politics viewpoint but my parents make a lot of money.

WhiskersNT · 2017-06-21T16:27:24+00:00

41

I'm a straight white male

It's a little complicated tho bc I'm marginally Hispanic, I think people back east really dont understand the extent of Hispanic culture and racial influence out west, they assume it's just as white out here as it is back east

Edit: also I'm sorta rural, so I think that always makes me appear like a bit of an unprivileged country bumpkin to the city dwellers who wrote these things

Also LOL at being called names, what normal man hasn't been called every name in the book

exit_sandman · 2017-06-21T16:34:41+00:00

Wow, what a disingenuous test that is - completely centered on making straight white men out as the bad guys. Also, a bunch of those questions are redundant.

Funny how stuff like "I don't have to put myself out there and face rejection if I want dates", "I usually am in a relationship", "I've never been friendzoned" and stuff like that don't count as "privilege" as well. Also funny how "I'm male" means that you're innately privileged, while "I'm female" doesn't. A black guy gets 1 out of 2 privilege points, which is the same as a white girl gets. Does it get more disingenuous than that?

UA_Hammer · 2017-06-21T17:21:40+00:00

TFW you will never be a plutocrat

Littleknownfacts · 2017-06-21T19:47:05+00:00

Edit 3: As of now, /u/IamTheWalkingMenu is the most privileged user on this board, closely followed by /u/SkinnySweaty and /u/Mr_Smoogs.

The least privileged appears to be /u/Sunhappy_DC, followed by /u/haikufun and /u/Butt-Factory.

Oh shit, I didn't know this was a competition!

You live with 54 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.

I knew it. Fucking cishet white males.

IamTheWalkingMenu · 2017-06-21T15:55:13+00:00

Apparently I'm 120 points of "shitlord." Yeah, no.

ManSentHisOwnWay · 2017-06-21T14:44:17+00:00

You live with 49 out of 100 points of privilege. 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.

Jesus, that is not accurate at all. I might not be cis white scum but I think I've had an easy life everything considered. I feel like not being able to indicate the intensity or severity of the applicable statements kinda messes with the test.

Tyler_Gatsby · 2017-06-21T15:02:25+00:00

38/100. "You are not privileged." Didn't think I'd ever hear that as a cis gendered, white heterosexual male.

SkinnySweaty · 2017-06-21T15:16:08+00:00

80/100 on the first one. Straight white male here, I know I have the privilege.

Scurvemuch · 2017-06-21T15:30:34+00:00

-15 and and 37.

looking at me, you would say ... white guy who makes money....

this privilege shit is, shit.

Koffing · 2017-06-21T15:33:57+00:00

I got -90 and I'm a white male. What now feminists?

says_harsh_things · 2017-06-21T15:45:59+00:00

This is a joke, right?

Electra_Cute · 2017-06-21T15:50:24+00:00

55/100 on test #1 and a 90 on test #2.

slavicgypsygirl · 2017-06-21T16:20:41+00:00

Test 1 = 57

Test 2 = 115

jonascf · 2017-06-21T16:24:35+00:00

Your privilege level is Extremely Oppressed with a score of -120

Butt-Factory · 2017-06-21T16:28:01+00:00

Huh. I got 25, apparently very oppressed.

Love8Death · 2017-06-21T16:39:52+00:00

The less privileged you are, the more opportunities for growth and achievement you have.

Inequality is GOOD. To a point.

You live with 39 out of 100 points of privilege.

Seems about right.

Your privilege level is SHITLORD with a score of 115

Lol okay. Generally sure, depends on your focus.

Hairbrainer · 2017-06-21T17:44:28+00:00

Man, an affluent white cis male such as myself scores a blistering 55/100. Surely the writer of the quiz would agree with these results.

LostHapaSoul · 2017-06-21T17:51:42+00:00

33 out of 100. What's funny is at least 20 of them were because of the very SJWs that like to call me "privileged" when many of them probably would score higher on this than me. I could go down them one by one, but it would take too long. And before anyone asks, yes, I am a cisgendered male.

LewisCross · 2017-06-21T19:39:10+00:00

46/100 per hyper's first link. Not privileged at all (!)

Per second link: "Your privilege level is SHITLORD with a score of 120"

LOL

Ercole-- · 2017-06-21T20:00:44+00:00

If by privilege you mean good fortune, just put me at the top of the list for being so good looking.

[deleted] · 2017-06-22T00:47:20+00:00

I agree 100% that some ridiculous idpollers try to make rigid the white male experience when there is quite a diversity of it. Also they imagine all white men to be living the high life when that is not the case at all.

Idk. I'm biracial and personally hate the rigid and ridiculously old classification of race. Somehow Barack Obama a half African half white American man raised by his white mother and grandparents is a role model or in kinship with black America. It's ridiculous but Americans are obsessed with trying to classify the races. There's not much now that can be done to challenge it.

[deleted] · 2017-06-22T03:38:07+00:00

Evergreen state is basically a community college and a way to farm English lessons for Chinese students so they can transfer to more elite universities. Its not some school for dumbasses but usually for kids who need a jumping point before they apply to a better school. Mizzou is facing lower enrollment as all public universities are because many private colleges have lowered their admission standards and focused on providing amenities and seemingly simplistic loan plans to students to attract them away from the public universities which obviously can't compete in that regard. lol colleges and their faculties have always been very progressive and left oriented. But keep overblowing sjw shit even though you admit your only experience with it is random YouTube videos designed to create outrage

funny_lyfe · 2017-06-22T05:45:08+00:00

I got 70/100. Guess I am privileged.

I should thank the people who actually attacked me. Their motives weren't nearly as bad as they could have been, and I don't have very many privilege points left to lose.

miss-xaviette · 2017-06-22T15:42:07+00:00

The first test gives me 44 out of 100, the second gives me 40, which is advantaged. A lot of the first is very US centric.

I'm from 'Meh' Europe. The second quiz is annoying because things like salary aren't sensibly ordered.

Entropy-7 · 2017-06-23T09:13:00+00:00

59/100 Quite Privileged

165 Shitlord

I lose points because I went to a very ethnic high school, and later to a left coast university where straight white males are a minority and discriminated against.

sunkindonut149 · 2017-06-23T18:25:35+00:00

The weird thing about the test is how much things like bi curiosity, being an atheist, and school bullying count in comparison to metrics that matter. I got a low score, but I'm privileged and borderline affluent.

That doesn't mean I've never experienced poverty and its concomitant factors. Just like many folks posting here got low scores on the racial bias portion although they are white because anyone can be a bigot.

I would change this test to include real issues like: Did you have to move out of your home area to get a job? Has your job ever been outsourced? How many times has your family moved involuntarily? Do you live in permanent or mobile housing?

Has anyone in your family or friends circle ever been charged with a felony? Did you have to move out of your parents house because they would lose section 8?

Does anyone under your roof use opioids recreationally? Is your health insurance private or public?

uto-uto · 2017-06-21T14:45:15+00:00

first link: 37

second link: 65

but, overall, i feel i'm luckier than most and try to be grateful for that. not much i can do about a lot of the things listed in the buzzfeed article anyway.
