I'm calling total baloney on this one - another case of trying to pigeonhole people. I wasn't surprised where I ended up when I saw the questions.

I would do it, but I don't want to sign up. No spam mail please!

Actually this isn't the one that I took ... the BBC done a much different one. Will try and find,.

This one? (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22000973)

Apparently, I'm a Emergent service worker. The majority of this test seems to be based on current income alone and not skill level or experience. An "Elite" that's temporarily out of work would also be an Emergent service worker as far as this test seems to be concerned.

They sure don't make comedy like that any more!

Fork handles anyone?

I am 'Technical Middle Class' which means:
a) I mix socially with people similar to me -true (isn't that true of most people?)
b) I work in research, science and technical fields (partially true)
and c) enjoy emerging culture such as going to the gym and using social media -I haven't been to the gym for some time (and it shows!) and don't have any interest in twitter or facebook, this is my only experience of 'social media'.

-no entry for films/movies or reading books; not impressed with this survey.

I also got technical middle class. See Stavros' description. I don't use social media. I did but I quit after about six months. I go to the gym but not frequently enough. Otherwise, I guess it's somewhat accurate if not too specific.

You're five hours late to the game.
