Why does age and disability have such a minor effect on the score? I’m sorry but a serious disability has a much bigger impact to someone’s “ability to get ahead” than simply gender let’s say. Many disabled people can hardly leave the house or need full time care. Same goes for age - what about my 70 year old father who can barely walk 5 steps anymore, is it really easier for him to get ahead than my wife, a successful entrepreneur?

I scored a 3, but then I remembered how people like you developed the Nuremberg Race Laws to categorize people and what they did with those categories. That made me feel bad. Then I remembered B-17s and the 101st Airborne and what they did to people who like to group others like this and that made me feel a whole lot better.

You people don't know what privilege is.
This is the biggest bull shit I have ever seen. I have lost a job to a less qualified person because of his race and it saved them $15/hr and thousands in govt benefits for doing so. Way to go reverse racism.
It says I'm more privileged than 93% of people, yet all these social justice warriors are oppressing me simply because I was born this way! Where is all of this privilege I'm being told I benefit from??
Why even have comments if y’all know how shitty people are? Jesus, for folks who seem to care enough about privilege and intersectionality to create an entire website and scale system, you kinda suck at protecting the less privileged from bigotry.
Also I agree with the person who mentioned mental health. I’d either change “able-bodied” to “abled” or add a completely new slider for mental health.

From your bio: "In politics, we could use these scores to compensate for previous social injustice by weighing votes in proportional to ones intersectional score. For example, someone with an intersectional score of 60 would get twice as many votes as someone with a score of 30. This would produce a more inclusive outcome and improve overall diversity."
Yikes! You think people deserve hereditary political power? Are you monarchists or...?
This privilege calculator would claim that poor/disabled ex-coal miners in West Virginia are more privileged than Barack Obama and his family. Absolute rubbish, the rich-poor difference is only 5 points, the high-low education difference is only 4 points, but the white-PoC difference is 27 points.

The entire concept of intersectionality is completely bogus. I don't care about your skin color, your gender, or your sexual preference. Are you a leach or a contributor? Are you obeying the law, or are you breaking the law? That's all that matters. This is what we should be teaching our children, along with good money management practices. PERIOD
I gather from most of the comments on here that it’s mainly bored white middle aged angry masculine blokes from the us of a checking out their reasons to be cheerful criteria and not liking what they find.

I think with my score of 5, I’m supposed to think that I need to do better. Well, I don’t - I am 1000% comfortable with the fact that there are not equal outcomes in society; if anyone wants a better life, quit whining, quit blaming others and go out and get that better life.

or...Is this BULLSHIT?..because its pretty funny.
Honestly, these comments are so sad. Made by people who scored low and are unable to recognize their own prejudice. Obviously, the test is not perfect, but really? Notice how it says "contributes" and not "determines"? I am sick of people bashing everything and labeling everything as "PC nonsense". Political correctness is a problem, but it is not an excuse to insults everything that causes you to be butthurt. This test has its merits. Take it from someone who actually scored high enough to understand the issues that it's talking about. For the people who are saying it's bigoted, this is not a test to label people. It's a test to describe how people have BEEN labeled by others. Now, for an objective criticism of the test. It doesn't work if your country of residence is not white, Christian, English-speaking dominated, and with the born in US slider, the United States. It also may work less if you live in a tight-knit community somewhat separate form the dominant culture of your country. Finally there are nuances on each scale that don't necessarily go from high to low. Let's say you are an extremely devout Christian. Because the dominant cultural narrative is not so extreme, you will face discrimination for your more extreme beliefs.
FUCK! I'm only more privileged than 75% of others! What a disppointment. I guess I'll have to try harder.
Intersectionality is a bogus term invented by ideologically possessed bogus professors in the grievance studies industry. I would suggest to all you oppressed victims what Mr. Lebowski said to the Dude: "My advice to you is to do what your parents did and get a job"
