What class are you according to this?

Technical middle class. But this is out of date now as it describes social media as an emerging technology. Almost 10 years on everyone uses it and it signifies nothing.

So why did you say that someone who socialises with shop assistants and postmen, and listens to rap, is "uncultured".

You used that description, not me.

Very surprised that it reckons I am established middle class. I certainly come from a working class background but now I do own a house in the countryside and me and DH do have savings/ investments. I also like gaming and social media though!

Elite. FFS 🙄 I'm really not!

Traditional working class.
Apparently, only 14% of the UK population are in this category. Really???
Or perhaps only 14% answered the questions honestly 😁

Apparently I'm established middle class. In which case I'd expect to have a lot more money 🤔

Precariate and ĺikely to be a cleaner!!
I'm a post graduate with a professional job! Total rubbish.

It told me elite, but we’re middle middle to maybe upper middle I think, which is what our backgrounds are. We live in an expensive area, so an expensive house and a high salary don’t mean as much in terms of actual lifestyle. We have one car, I’m a SAHM, our kids are in state schools, and we own a 5 bed mid-terrace townhouse (not some sprawling detached home). No designer clothes, no second home, and we fly economy. We do have several holidays abroad every year, including at least one skiing holiday, and our children have some expensive hobbies. And we have a cleaner. Those are our main luxuries.

Elite. Probably very much skewed by the fact that we live in the SE, own a property at SE values and get paid SE/London wages. We're also knocking 50, so obviously have a lot more savings/higher wages etc than we had at 25. For someone in the SE of our age, £100k+ household income, £100k+ savings and £500k+ property equity is probably fairly standard TBH. Maybe we're all "Elite"!

We're definitely comfortably off - children at private school etc, but "Elite" feels a bit too much for us. I say we're comfortable middle class if I had to describe our situation in words.

Established middle class!

Elite - it's given me a good laugh. Value of house (bungalow with dormer rooms and lounge extension in expensive town), who we socialise with and the fact we're quite happy to look around a free museum must make the difference. I'm sat on worn settee in my bobbly hoodie, carpet has seen better days and by most people's standards we need a new bathroom and kitchen.

Established Middle Class.

I’m actually working class.

People must be scoring very high on financial to get elite surely? Doesn't matter what I put for social or cultural, it puts me at the bottom regardless.

I'm 'young affluent' apparently. I'm ancient.

Another 'established middle class' here, posting from my charity shop sofa in a council estate house, and looking with dismay at my dwindling savings, which would barely cover a month of expenses. I do like a free museum, so that obviously bumps us up the income scale.

How are other poor people scoring highly? I've tried putting all the posh things, just with my real finances, doesn't alter the outcome.

I think it’s 100k+ household income after tax, savings over 50k, and 500k+ house value, which is quite normal for many households in London and certain parts of the SE.

Personally, I think a better indicator would be disposable income after bills, which would take into account the cost of living and average salaries in certain areas.

I think the point of this is that it is redrawing the boundaries, so you’re not supposed to say “I can’t be Elite because I’m not Upper Middle, or Upper” or whatever - because there is no direct correspondence between this system and the “old” system.

This seems to be saying that for all the differences you might perceive between yourself and xyz that led you to conclude you belong in different classes, in modern Britain under this system you are put together.

Elite - which I'm really not. Working class background, but probably would be classed as technical middle class

Even in London, none of that is "standard"! Having all of those things would put you in the top few percent of people, maybe top 1%.

You're obviously very out of touch with what the median income/savings etc are, even in London.

Elite but I'm pretty sure when I did this a couple of years ago and played with the answers, that the fact that I went to the opera was the main indicator.

Elite. Yet I was educated in a state school in Hackney in the 80s. So I don't think so.

Established middle class.

Where did it ask for pension?

Good grief, not this again.

When my husband and I first took it, we came out as emergent service workers. Because we were in the early part of our careers and we hadn't made many savings or acquired many assets.

Now we qualify as Elite, and that's before you take into account significant financial gifts from the family recently.

In reality, we were never likely to stay in the Emergent Service Workers category. It does the majority a massive disservice to pretend that we weren't subsequently likely to be much better off.

Haha. Yeah. And me. Whatever.
