31. Though scores are going to be deflated for immigrants and their children who may not live particularly in a bubble but whose cultural context is different.

Got 18. Not too bad considering I've barely ever lived in America.

15.

Surprisingly high because I'm probably 5th generation upper-middle class and both of my parents have PHDs and were professors at some time point in their life.

73. It's about what I expected, but I'm actually a little embarrassed.

I think not watching any of the tv shows and not eating at Applebee's, IHOP, Denny's etc. in the last year lowered my score a lot.

33.  Probably only got that high because I know of the one true Branson and have actually been there.  Yeah, the restaurants and TV show were horrible.  Watching Breaking Bad, Walking Dead and Game of Thrones and eating local fare have elevated me to another plane of existence.

47, tho I really should be described as:

A second-generation (or more) upper-middle-class person who has made a point of getting out a lot. Typical: 9.

The lower your score is, the more you live in a bubble. Or did you think it would be even lower?

I was poor and in the military, apparently that really thins the bubble.  Makes sense I suppose.

I should retake it and change my answers on the evangelical Christian questions since I'm clearly not what they think of as one.

32. I live in a 'minority-majority' area so that changes a bit of things. Not bad but some of the questions were weird (beer?).
