    A large survey has been done and they have now developed a system to divide everyone into seven different classes.

    Which one are you? :)

      Having taken the test:

      Pretty accurate apart from the financially insecure bit, bloody toffs.

      Yes, but they must have got it wrong if you're Elite as you socialise with us. That should put you down at the bottom. :snork:

            Result: the class group you most closely match is:

            New affluent workers

            This class group is sociable, has lots of cultural interests and is in the middle of all the class groups in terms of wealth. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group:


            Are young
            Come from a working class background
            Own their own home




            Ooooohhhh get me!
            Load of rubbish!!
