Which social class would you say you are?

[Empired]

The social classes are becoming harder and harder to define as a more diverse society means there are more factors involved than simply money and heritage. So now, it's really up to you about whether you'd define yourself working class or not.

So which social class would you say you are (or you're closest to)?

I find this a difficult question to answer. I live in a middle class area in a comparatively large house (bought 32 years ago by my parents for the whopping price of £132,000 before this area became a desirable place to live) with parents who are/were technically professionals. But now we live partly off of state benefits, partly from my grandma's pension and partly from my mum's wage as a part time teacher. So it's really annoying because I think definite working class people would argue that we're middle class, but middle class people definitely wouldn't want us either. Which social class do you come under?

Working class. Isn't there a website for this?

I think the boundaries are blurring a lot, it's not so clear-cut X Y Z any more, but I'm some sort of lower middle class

Doesn't mean you have to agree with the results :P

I'm asking where you THINK you belong.

Edit: just taken the test and apparently I'm a new affluent worker who's come from a working class background which is inaccurate imo.

Mine came out as 'Established middle class'
I live in a very working class area but my family, we would class ourselves as maybe actually middle class because of like what we work as, what we earn, what we have

[Kyle]

As a student I consider myself classless. My background is lower middle class but it could go either way from there.

[FlyingJesus]

We all think you're classless *+*+*+*+

[lawrawrrr]

According to that test I'm an emergent service worker, fairly close to precariat though. Just cos I'm young and in my first job I guess. I'm from a decent background though so yeah. I don't really consider myself in a particular class though, don't really see any point.

[Alysha]

My test came out as established middle class, I'd say I was low middle class if I was to judge myself. Although I'm from Newport, I'm actually from quite a well off part of it. +rep to my parents.

[MKR&*42]

Well my test comes out with

Result: the class group you most closely match is:


Precariat

This is the poorest and most deprived class group. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group:

Tend to mix socially with people like themselves
Come from a working class background
Rent their home - over 80%

:(

I don't know really. I don't think about social class too much, our family isn't exactly the wealthiest but we all get by. I would imagine (and hope..) as I age I get closer to middle class :P

working class and probably always will be. got no shame in that :-)

[Circadia]

Working class :') I don't mind we've got a decent house, albeit a council house, it's more than some people have. I work in a cafe, my dad as postman and my mum as a civil servant so we get enough money.
Although, I'm leaving for uni in September so I guess I'd see myself as classless until I get a job/house/whatever, I'll just come from a working class background

[AgnesIO]

Would have said that I am middle class, BBC thing said Established Middle Class.

Based it on family, but yeah will most likely be staying around there.

[Earthquake]

Working class, being that I work? not sure how it works.

[Alkaz]

Lower middle class, I'm not working class and I don't think I'm middle class either!

[James]

Going by Aiden's link, I'm Middle class & I don't think that's too far wrong.

[AgnesIO]

Sounds about right for a UKIP fan! ;)

Elite This is the wealthiest and most privileged group in the UK. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group:


Enjoy high cultural activities such as visiting museums and listening to classical music
Went to private school and elite universities
Socialise with people who do a wide variety of jobs




right then. I hate museums ;l

I'd have said we were middle class. My parents complain we never have money but that's because we keep buying plane tickets and going on holidays :rolleyes:

We don't live a very wealthy lifestyle but we do have money to buy the things we need & want. Both my parents work full time, I have my own job and my brother is still fairly young.

lol k, snob

lol k, snob

I wasn't referring to the working class bit, but it's cool.

[-:Undertaker:-]

Going to university and meeting other people made me realise we're probably working class as well as realising you can't just go by income.

But we're not badly off at all.
