That can be an advantage, but that doesn't make you near a plutocrat. There is some truth to it, but it groups a lot of people with the 1% that aren't even close. Plutocrat should be plus 1,000 at least and then it might be a little more realistic.

Not sure whether I qualify as pug-ugly or ok. Gave myself 0 on the profession, although MLT could qualify as low-level scientist and lose me some points.

my mom used to have a Mac Davis 8-track tape that she played every car trip over 10 minutes. I heard that song too many times. That and Billy Crash Craddock.

Attractiveness: Disfigured?
Disability: Retarded?

Either this chart was put together by a 13 year old, or it's someone trolling the internet.
