Need to check your privilege? Here is an easy way.

[AngryAmish]

http://checkprivilege.x10.mx/

THis should help determine if you are privileged and what you should do about it.

[Boom Sound 416]

1. A little too easy, I'm afraid

[cbayer]

2. I got an 80, which they consider unprivileged,

but I know that I am super privileged.

[Whisp]

29. yeh, me too. I don't get this. Doesn't make sense

I got a 60 and I think I am super privileged compared to most of the world.

not so good survey.

[cbayer]

31. Exactly.

I took a trip to Kenya and my privilege smacked me so hard the minute I got off the plane I almost fell over.

[Sheldon Cooper]

92. Me too.

I'm a straight white middle class American woman. And although I have the 'female' strike against me, I can't believe that I'm still not considered at least a little privileged.

[spinbaby]

3. I am apparently unprivileged

I guess that's why I'm not a Republican.

[SoCalDem]

4. silly test..it says I am privileged

and I object highly the the last question..no need for their "editorial comment"

[SheilaT]

5. Turns out I'm unpriviliged.

But in reality, I am, just not super privileged. I'm white and straight, although female, which subtracts a little.

I'm also now 65, which gives me lots of discounts on all sorts of things if I only remember to ask, which I rarely do.

I never get a speeding or other traffic ticket because whenever I'm stopped, not only am I nice and polite, but at this point with the gray hair I look like Mom or possibly even Grandma, and there apparently aren't too many cops out there willing to ticket Mom or Grandma.

Of course, it helps that only getting a warning keeps my record clean. Admittedly, I only get stopped about once every other year, so I'm not much of an offender.

[madokie]

6. I am unprivileged

got a 45

[Rex]

7. The last question is just stupid.

nt.

[sibelian]

11. ...

Yeeeah.

[Lizzie Poppet]

13. Yep...closed the browser tab after reading that one.

Fail.

[Rex]

14. Same, was going to take the poll then got to the last question.

No thanks.

[kcr]

20. I had to go see what the last question was.

Yeah. Ridiculous.

[Warpy]

37. It is. It could have and should have been worded very differently

but when frat boys do online tests, they just can't deal with things like orientation.

[sibelian]

38. Erm...

Maybe check the "advanced" option on the same page...

[treestar]

64. The virgin question?

I did the test twice to see what difference it made. One is less privileged if one is a virgin.

[Roland99]

8. Ok, I'm quite privileged apparently (185)

I want my tax breaks, ponies, new Mercedes, stock portfolio, Cadillac healthcare plan, private jet, yacht, personal shopper, masseuse, gardener, pool boy (oh wait...need a pool first)

Where's my stuff?!?!!?

[pa28]

80. Same here. 185.

I'm really kicking myself now because if only I'd self-actualized my privilege life would be just like one big episode of "the entourage".

It's all so simple.

[PowerToThePeople]

94. 185 club

I wonder why they do not mention political views or economic ideas? Much of the abuse I receive in the world is because I am an "Anti-American communist taker." I get along with people (rich white man) well enough superficially, but people who buy into the status quo many times turn a strong hatred towards me once my political views become visible.

[Avalux]

9. It's not exactly scientific, but apparently I'm privileged.

I've always know this though....and have struggled with it even though it isn't a value judgement. I try to be more empathetic and put myself in the shoes of others; try to understand their experiences, and never use being privileged to take advantage of others.

[sibelian]

10. minus 30!!!! Cripes. I must be miserable.

Dearie me.

Cool site, though. Can't wait to tell all my pals.


Check your privilege daily!

[Behind the Aegis]

45. LMAO! That is what I scored too!

[sibelian]

47. It's the -30 club!

Stick with me, buddy.

[Vanje]

75. -195 here

Between being poor , and being ugly....I'm hosed.
(Note that there was no category between "attractive" and "ugly". I dont know, They should have added something like, "Fairly symmetrical after I've had my coffee."

If they had a question about being SMART, or having CONFIDENCE, I would have done much better.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

12. I scored 95 and am considered unprivileged.

[lumberjack_jeff]

15. Privileged to have been blessed with the ability to question the premise.

Ridiculous.

And yes, the last question renders it useful only on Cracked or the Onion.

[sibelian]

16. Might like to have a full read of the introductory page, jeff.

[sibelian]

18. The nice thing about that page is that it takes the premise entirely at face value.

Kinda sweet.

[LibertyLover]

17. According to this I'm underprivileged

I got a 70 - privileged is 100 or above. Oh joy!

[MrScorpio]

19. -45/Underprivileged

I figured as much

[sibelian]

40. Damn. You beat me.

Pah.

[Nye Bevan]

21. So, a straight white male construction worker in Mississippi earning $21K per year

(score 155) is apparently more privileged than Oprah Winfrey (score 140).

Some people just don't realize how privileged they are.

[GeorgeGist]

22. 160

[kcr]

23. Anyone check out the advanced version of this? Go to the bottom left corner.

Yeah, real funny.

[cui bono]

76. Oh geez. n/t

[RebelOne]

24. I an unprivileged. n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. Ok this is funny

the domain name takes me to Mexico. mx is Mexico.

[Ian David]

26. I just scheduled a meeting with my congressman to complain about this test.

He's going to meet my lawyer and I at the country club tomorrow.

A hundred and five?

Really?

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

27. I scored a 170, which confirmed what my mother has taught me for years....

She has made it clear that I understand how privileged I am, being a white, straight, healthy, Christian, male from a middle class family whose dad owns a business.

And that is exactly why we vote Democratic and not Republican...we feel that opportunities should be expanded to all, and not just a select few.

[NCTraveler]

28. Three things.

1) No one should take this after reading the last question, if some of the previous ones didn't already turn you off.

3) There is nothing educational about this and leads to no greater understanding with respect to privilege.

2) Does anyone really trust something like this when the US isn't first on the list of countries.

[kcr]

30. And the Advanced version

Am I the only one who sees that?

[NCTraveler]

32. Just saw it. Sick. Should never have been brought here. nt.

[kcr]

33. I even mentioned it in the alert

And I still had it explained to me that taking it in the pooper isn't a homophobic slur in the comments. Someone else said I should have just mention it in the thread. Well, hello. I did. Gotta love the totally useless jury system.

[backscatter712]

39. Just saw it - that's pretty gross. n/t

[PeteSelman]

34. 195.

Bunch of horseshit.

[stevenleser]

35. The last question gives the quiz away as a puerile joke. nt

[Warpy]

36. I'm an 85

About the only things going for me are my Irish hide and a middle class income. Everything else is a deficit.

You know, female, old, fat, atheist...

[kentauros]

41. Score: 410

Although I did answer with all of the obviously rigged to privilege choices

[sibelian]

42. It's NOT FAIR.

GIVE ME ALL YOUR STUFF.

[kentauros]

43. Okay, you get all of my "stuff."

I still have all of my offshore accounts, though, filled with ones and zeros

[sibelian]

44. NO, THEM TOO.

Else I will subtract my score from yours and the result will be a multiplier which I will use in a MATH WAY to increase the amount of stuff you owe me.

[kentauros]

46. I will do that, only if

you can legally get Euler's number rounded up to 3.0

[sibelian]

48. ....

........



...




SUPERioR MATH KNOWLEDGE PRIVILEGE!1!11 NO FAIR! NO FAIR NO FAIR NO FAIR!

Wait a sec, does that mean I get more or less stuff?

[kentauros]

49. Slightly more stuff.

But only if you can get to my offshore accounts before I give my account numbers to those Chinese hackers I know through the Russian mafia.

[sibelian]

50. Oh! Hi Eddie!

Gosh, what an honour! How's the poledancing girlfriend? OOPS, prob too soon, sorry, man.

[kentauros]

52. Well, the sandal's on the other foot now,

because that just went WOOSH! over my head

Oh, right. I forgot. I have threads like that hidden, and forgot he existed. Minor player, anyway. Remember, we're in Afghanistan for the mining rights, the 3.2 trillion-dollar mining rights, and thus, my Russian connections

[Skittles]

53. I WILL KICK TEST-RIGGING KENTAURUS ASS

YES INDEED

[kentauros]

55. Just cheat a little, Skittles.

It's quite easy

[Skittles]

67. well I have always wanted to be a man

NOT!!!

[kentauros]

87. When cyberizations gets to the point of full prosthetic bodies,

then you can swap out the female model for a male

[Skittles]

51. 85.5

[antiquie]

54. -680 what foolishness

[kentauros]

57. And you went the other way.

Meaning there's at least a 1090-point spread over the choices

[antiquie]

59. Had no idea I have it so bad...

Female, short, poor (retired) with Middle East grandparents.

[kentauros]

65. The M.E. part is probably at least 90% of the points!

Then again, it's not much of a page for determining privilege. Except on DU!

[GalaxyHunter]

56. "you take it in the pooper or mouth"

wtf haha

[ileus]

58. -595!!! I knew it!

[LittleBlue]

60. 145. Oh well, I'm privileged I guess

Not sure what I'm supposed to do about it

[ananda]

61. 110

But I already knew I was privileged.

[smirkymonkey]

74. I got the same score...

but when I took the test again and answered the exact same way except changed the gender to male I scored 185. Interesting.

[treestar]

62. 50

unprivileged.

Don't think the test is very good though.

[LostOne4Ever]

63. What the heck

55?

Comon!

You don't get much more privileged than me!

[DireStrike]

66. This needs a bit of de-4chan-ification to be useful.

"shit-tier europe"? "take it in the pooper or mouth"? I wouldn't be comfortable showing this to certain people within the group of those that care about privilege. There is a certain "stick-in-the-mud" club that would react quite violently to saucy language like this and quite possibly take offense.

Also I get a 120 from being a straight white male.

[Vashta Nerada]

68. 90. I'm unprivileged?

[HereSince1628]

69. Mental illness isn't a disability? Is this an oversight? n/t

[gopiscrap]

70. we've done similar in workshops

[gopiscrap]

71. I scored 75

[arely staircase]

72. biased survey or at least to simplistic.

And I do believe white and male priv ilege exists but I was expecting a better survey

[Jamastiene]

73. -325

I scored -325. Apparently, a score below 100 doesn't count as privileged.

[seabeyond]

77. i was 30. underprivileged. anyone looking at my life would be disgusted if i claimed

to be underprivileged.

it asks what i make. nothing

job? no.

but it does not ask how much money i have or the home i live in or anything.

i understand it was a very simple test, but too simplistic to even take a little seriously.

[penultimate]

83. Given the last question, I'm thinking it's not meant to be taken seriously...

I wonder how much money the creator is making in ad revenue though.

[seabeyond]

85. Ya. I had just clicked past that then realized what it said.

Looked in the advanced one and thought I should probably delete my post. Whatever it is about. Garbage in, garbage out

[JonLP24]

78. -125

Is that the lowest?

[99Forever]

79. That was 30 seconds of wasted time I'll never get back.

"Taken it in the pooper or mouth"

This sort of mentality is supposed to "check my privilege?"

[Gravitycollapse]

82. It's the kind of question only a privileged homophobe would pose.

Which means the website is likely established by highly privileged douchebags trying to troll.

[sibelian]

88. Well, I don't know.

Have a look at the "advanced" button on the same page.

[Gravitycollapse]

89. I haven't been able to figure out if the two are related beyond being linked together...

I think whoever created the simple version might have just embedded a link to the more complex one. Maybe I'm wrong though.

[sibelian]

90. I agree.

If you're right, it's difficult to see what the site creator's perspective on the "advanced" option is.

I can tell you in one word what my perspective on the "advanced" option is.

[penultimate]

96. Yeah, I was trying to figure out if there was any real connection or not...

If the the creator of the "simple" just threw that link in there to confuse or mock or because it's the same person.

I don't even understand what the 'advanced' link is though.

[Gravitycollapse]

81. Fuck that website. Homophobic, anti-disability, sexist swill.

[Cerridwen]

84. "Easy" and simple-minded and simplistic.

The dynamics of power and the intersections of privilege are hardly addressed nor represented with a few questions on an internet "test."

"THis should help determine if you are privileged and what you should do about it." (sic)

No, "not bloody likely."

[Prophet 451]

86. I got -155

I'm a bisexual guy, mixed race and disabled. They didn't have options for my faith (Luciferian) or mental illness.

[a kennedy]

91. WTHeck?? I scored a 50???

[FSogol]

93. "The suffering of me and my group is much worse than everyone else."

Did a 14 year old write that survey?

[Democracyinkind]

95. "Taking it in the pooper"????

This is bad college humor. Community college at best, even if this comment outs me as priviliged. OP might want to add that this isn't serious...
