  1. This is a pretty intense survey... but this class is about uncomfortable, serious matters.

    I got 68 out of 100. I'm surprised its not higher.

  2. 64 out of 100. "You’re quite privileged. You’ve had a few struggles, but overall your life has been far easier than most. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. But you should be aware of your advantages and work to help others who don’t have them. Thank you for checking your privilege."
    Interesting way to assess privilege. I wonder if it's working - does everyone take the time to answer all the questions? does everyone read the blurb at the end in order to send a message to the quiz-taker?

  3. 61/100. I would be interested to see how some people react to the qualifications of privilege listed on this quiz. I think they all qualify, along with other, unlisted things. But I wonder how commonly some of these are thought of as privilege.
