http://www.scribd.com/doc/77349055/Coming-Apart-by-Charles-Murray-Quiz This is a bizarre quiz if I've ever seen one. According to Charles Murray (for some, a cringe-worthy preface to any statement), my score of 46 describes me as either first-generation middle-class with working-class parents (true, assuming a decent income following grad school) or first-generation upper-middle-class with middle-class parents (false). Fortunately, I can easily solidify my working-class credentials with a bus trip to Branson and a day of indiscriminate TV watching. After taking Derek Briggs's Measurement in Survey Research class, I really question the choice of items and the validity of the survey, but I'm pretty sure using the term "validity" in this discussion would nullify all the points I earned on the Murray-Meter.
