[ASUG8]

47 for me. Not far off.

My score:

You got 38 points.

The higher your score, the thinner your bubble. The lower, the more insulated you might be from mainstream American culture.

See below for scores Charles Murray would expect you to get based on the following descriptions.

48–99: A lifelong resident of a working-class neighborhood with average television and movie going habits. Typical: 77.

[BDKJMU]

[93henfan]

Well Z, it looks like those of us who have purchased a pickup, served in the military, eaten at Outback, and come from people who worked for a living are all pegging the meter on this drill.

I didn't serve in the military, but my parents were po' when I was born....

Helps that there is a Ruby Tuesday's in the mall right across from a Billy Beez (indoor playground with about 50 slides...fucking awesome place, if it weren't for kids) where I take my oldest soon about once a month.

[Ibanez]

I retook the test. I didn't lie, but I decided to see what would happen if I said yes to the truck question (but then noticed Ruby Tuesdays on the list so I added that).

Went from 31-37.

Makes sense.

[bandl]

BTW, the Jimmie Johnson listed is the NASCAR driver and not the Hair coach, right?
I straight up guessed which one that was as I wasn't sure of the correct spelling

Yeah, I put NASCAR but I don't really know if that's right or not.

I had a Toyota Tacoma for about 5 years. First vehicle I bought out of college.

Although I think I should get more points for illegally employing tons of darker people

[93henfan]

The one that ends in "ie" is the NASCAR one.

[Gil Dobie]

65 - drove enough pickup trucks back on the farm to never want to drive one again.

"Fuck yeah", said bandl
