Lol. . . Buzzfeed.
45/100
"Not privileged"
Well, that's a relief... not. What a load of complete nonsense.
The only thing it tested was my patience.
You live with 19 out of 100 points of privilege.
You’re underprivileged. The world is not a fair or ideal place and you know that because you grew up with several identities that the world is not kind to. You had a lot of challenges to overcome simply to get on a level playing field with most people in the world. It is not your job to educate the world about its injustices, but if you choose to, go ahead and send them this quiz. Hopefully it will help.
Now I'm sad. :X
Oh, how revolting... you disgust me, you patriarchal pig!
50/100 lolz
Tell me more!
Now the only thing I need is a feminist so I can opress her and my life will be compleate...
You are quite possibly the most entitled creature to have ever walked upon this earth.
61/100 (though some questions I didn't understand, like "some of your identities", what's that, I have only one, me)
Awww stop you're making me blush!
I bet you enjoy keeping people down, and oppressing them from your ivory tower, don't you, you bastard!?
Trust me, you're better off not understanding the questions - they are very, very stupid.
Edit: That was my 1000th like, so whoever just did that, you're cool!
Hey everyone needs a hobby....
I second that, some are way too specific. Because how you answer a question about identities when you have only one?
Or the religion question if you don't belong to any organized religion?
Well, I guess I just like doing tests
I just skipped the ones that didn't fit me - which is probably why my score was so low.
These kinds of tests are always just for entertainment value anyway. They're never meant to be taken seriously.
I got 40/100.
"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. It is not your responsibility to educate those with more advantages than you, but if you decide you want to, go ahead and send them this quiz. Hopefully it will help."
You live with 36 out of 100 points of privilege.
49/100.
I was spared from privilege because some old guy once called me a terrorist at a protest.
Ofc, that is just for fun
I was interested what they meant by privilege, so I did it.
46/100
Not priviliged. I dont care lol.
Umm, am I going to be violently attacked for this score?
It probably be higher, but some of the stuff I didn't check off was because I hadn't had the opportunity to do it. It would probably be an 85...
And what was the protest for?
Buzzfeed....
Looks at the first statement...
Actually, this gets down to why I think the term priviledge is such bullshit. "I have never been raped." is one of the criteria. That is not a priviledge. That is a right. You have a right to control over your body and a right to not have acts of violence, sexual or otherwise, perpetrated on you. 'Priviledge' makes it sound like a bonus - it isn't other people who are having thing done to them that should never be done to them, it's you who get additional benefits. No, you don't need to check your priviledge, because it's not a privilege; it's how you should be respected as a human being. Where other people have that dignity violated, it is that violation which needs to be addressed. It's even more insidious in that treating things as a 'privilege' as opposed to a right, makes it all the more easy to take away, or to dismiss those violations when they happen. If there is violence against your person because of gender, race, religion, etc., it is not a lack of priviledge, it is your basic rights being violated.
Also, I got 49.
Thats why I wouldn't even take the test because I knew that stupid gross questions like that would be asked. I browse tumblrinaction on reddit and wtf is all I can say
Occupy Philadelphia, protesting corporate greed and the like. We got hecklers sometimes.
My little 19 year old self was a bit taken aback.
Ew, Buzzfeed. I took this once before and I think I got 43 out of 100. Go figure.

Sadly, you can't watch this video on other sites, but uh, here:
I need to add this to my post in the environment thread about how business won't voluntarily stop destroying the environment.
As a straight white male, I knew it would be high by default.
74/100
Damn, I'm a snob
I got like 46/100, Buzzfeed, I know where to go if I want to be insulted for my race, sexuality, and gender.
That test is pretty fucked tbh
68/100 btw although I didn't know how to answer some
This test is kinda wacky. And it's fuckin' Buzzfeed. Whatever, I took it anyways.
Also, what the fuck is with the sexual assault questions!? Jesus man.
65/100, Quite Privileged.
