In this case, I am proud to say I live in a bubble, a reality-based bubble.
I also disagree with the premise of a lot of those questions, some of which severely curtail the possible answers. For example, number 6, which asks if you've ever held a job that caused you to hurt at the end of the day and that headaches don't count. I think that is overly dismissive of migraine headaches, for example, which may be exacerbated by working conditions. But the job caused me the most pain was as a fish and wildlife technician, a job that Charles Murray would not think was a blue-collar job, though it did involve a great deal of physical labor.
My score was 51 and none of what the descriptions apply to me. I neither live in a working-class neighborhood, nor am I first generation middle-class. And I most certainly do not have mainstream tastes in movies. I just see a lot of them, of almost all genres.
