Before taking this test, I felt pretty privileged. Although I’m a woman, I’m also white, straight, middle class, educated, able-bodied, married and independent. I fully recognize that there are many people in this world who face much bigger hurdles than I do. Still, I was curious.
Ready to check your privilege? Here’s the quiz.
My results were surprising:
You live with 48 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.
How privileged are you?

I only scored 43 out of 100, but I’m still always going to have the “white male” thing going for me. I feel like being a white male should automatically add thirty points to the final privelege score.
