I got a score of 66, I kinda expected it to be higher but there was a period where my family did go through some hard times so I imagine that brought the score down a little.

In addition to this issue, the quiz just *assumes* everyone has a significant other. The quiz apparently can't be applied to atheist losers.

Not calling anyone else a loser.

i got a 30!!!! even though im pretty privileged. if i were to be honest id say i belong as an 80.
the only reason i wouldnt be privileged would be my sexuality, which is a pretty mainstream,accepted sexuality.

Aren't you bisexual? We're not mainstream or accepted, just more sexualised than monosexuals

Well you aren't being persecuted for being an atheist are you? Then you can answer the question just fine.

I'm a straight, white man who doesn't buy into religion.
Look at me and all my privileges.

This is mine, but there were a lot of questions I couldn't answer, like about SOs, so if you don;t answer and the question is "have you ever..." they assume you're saying no, when in fact you're saying that question does not apply to me.

Anyhoo...

You live with 47 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.

This is basically bollocks. Yes I grew up with for most of my life one parent and I was bullied at school a little, but I'm not disadvantaged and this quiz assumes a lot of stuff that isn't true.

That said, if anyone feels sorry for me and wants to send me money to make my life easier my Paypal account is

Actually I stopped once it assumed I would have an SO.

You could have just answered it hypothetically as if you did have one. You might as well had just checked all of those. The SO questions were mostly geared towards gay couples.

Maybe if I was hell bent on finding out how hypothetically privileged I am.
