Stretching Our Thinking

I scored 72/100, which Buzzfeed deemed as "You're Quite Privileged". Buzzfeed says I have had a few struggles but a relatively easy life. Buzzfeed mentions that I checked more boxes than 91% of the quiz takers. I find the discrepancy in percentages interesting, with how many boxes I check compared to other quiz takers. 72% doesn't sound very high, but 91% sounds very high. I think the quiz-taker statistic was important to include for a frame of reference. 

I took the privilege quiz and received a 53/100. The quiz states that I am considered quite privileged, also mentioning that I have had a few struggles but overall my life has been easier than most. It concludes that this is not a bad thing or something to be ashamed of, but that I should be aware of my advantages and work to help others who don’t have them. What resonates with me is that, despite having had struggles and knowing many people who have had struggles, thinking about the other statements in the quiz makes me realize that others have other aspects of their lives that can cause them struggles. I cannot assume that they have also had to deal with any of my struggles, but can recognize that I have taken for granted some of the things I haven't had to worry about.

I took the survey and finished with a score of 65. This number indicates that I am quite privileged. I have had it easier than most; however, some challenges have been present. This survey has helped me realize that many aspects of life, in addition to race, can increase or decrease privilege. Because of my race and sexual orientation, I have avoided many problems others may have encountered. The questions in this checklist have prompted me to think about many items I was unaware were potential issues for many people.

I took the quiz and scored a 64/100.  I figured I'd be on the higher end before taking the quiz.  The only thing I was unsure of was the socioeconomic aspect of privileged, Which they did ask about.  However, it looks like I am around par for the course when it comes to the quiz for this area.  People that have grown up in central NY really do not experience much diversity until we move away from it, and would say that most of us are privileged.

I took the quiz on “How Privileged Are You?” and the results stated that I am quite privileged. You've had a few struggles, but overall your life has been far easier than most. Based on the nature of the questions I felt like the results were predictable. However by completing the quiz it raised my awareness to the struggles and worries people may have to deal with on a daily basis. I would be interested in a survey that deals with workplace fairness and equity.

I took the How Privileged Are you checklist and it came back with a life easier than most. I couldn't imagine leaving all those boxes empty. Some of the questions on the questionnaire I took for granted. So I was glad I could check off what I could. I didn’t have as much white privilege as Rich Jayne though. Zombieland rule #11 “Enjoy the little things.”

I took the quiz entitled "How privileged Are you?" I scored a 78/100. It stated "You're the most privileged." I already knew that I would be considered privilege before taking it. I thought the number might be higher than it was though. It brought my attention the many worries that people have to deal with on a daily basis simply because of their race, gender, or sexual orientation. These unfair aspects serve as roadblocks in their future successes. I feel bad because I did not have to deal with most of those roadblocks. 

I took the quiz and scored a 66/100. I was expecting a higher score and somewhat surprised at some of the boxes I could not check. I do realize that I am more privileged than many. It has opened my eyes to some of the things that I have taken for granted in my life and much more aware of things that kids may be going through. 

I took the how privileged are you quiz and my results were 44/100, which stated that I was not privileged. This was shocking to me because as an adult, I have always thought of myself as privileged due to the fact that I was educated, white and financially stable. However, according to this quiz, there are other areas of my life that retracted from this privilege perhaps more than I have thought about.
