The new 'Class System' - what class are you?

Ticked every box thus i'm 1337.
 
Established middle class here too - not exactly stunned by that result.
 
I didn't complete the test so came bottom of the class.

... As usual.

:)
 
Elite for me when I include my pension pot, technical middle class when not including the pot, what a load of tosh.:thumbsdow
 
It's a load of spheroids as far as I'm concerned.
 
Elite - but I would rather be a technical middle class.....

house price bands are weird - should be much bigger spread!

also I listen to acid jazz - does this count as jazz??
 
Another daft internet survey.

Why do they ask the value of your house, since that depends what part of the country you are in. Wouldn't the size of the house (sq ft) be a better indicator?
 
Reading the questions, it's obvious that this owes a great deal to Bourdieu's analysis of class as being a multi faceted thing, comprised of social, cultural and economic capital. This seems so make sense - did the 'lotto lout' Michael Carroll become upper class overnight when he won the lottery? Probably not, as he still liked the same things and socialised with the same people he had always done - which was originally dictated by his social class (and that of his parents)

Perhaps no one actually fully fits in any class, but these groupings can be useful fictions in explaining other phenomena, such as health etc.

At least someone understands rather than the daily-mail esque comments :smashin:
 
Traditional working class here, that's what I expected though.
 
Technical Middle Class.

Elite for me, but I think I already knew that :)
 
Established middle class but I will still regard myself as working class
 
My girlfriend is seemingly Elite. Hmmmm.

Just as well they didn't have a section asking 'Do you watch The Chase, in your pyjamas, while eating microwaved quiche with Spaghetti Hoops?' or she might not have scored so well.

In her defence, she was just out of bed after night shift, but still. Elite. Pfft.
 
New affluent workers.
:confused:
Slightly surprising as I'm almost 50 and out of work. It's probably the house price wot done it.
 
I'm apparently Elite:smashin:
I'll need to ditch the fish and chips and get the caviar in.

Traditional working class apparently - to be honest I have never even considered what "class" I fit into - I'm just me.....:laugh:
 
Traditional working class. Odd because i dont think anyone I know would pigeonhole me in a group like that, particularly in view of my background.I find these kind of surveys particularly idiotic.A working man I may be but there is nothing traditional about that
