Yeah, dbuck, there were about 3 questions which neither answer fit for me, but I had to choose something.
Mermaid, does chukka have to do with polo?
Did anyone else notice that the word "niece" was spelled wrong in #28?
No big deal, but kind of a crackup in a snobbishness quiz.

59% snob. I am very concerned now about Will marrying a lapdancer. I had never considered the possibility.
I took the other test about what my life would have been like in 1905- here was the answer. The test is based on wheter you are male/female, and your father's occupation. My dad owned a business, and it looks like I ended up a rich spinster!
You live alone and have a private income!
- A Snapshot of your life as it might have been in 1905
Education
Your parents send you to a private school and despite the fact that you are bright and enjoy school you leave at 16.
Career Prospects
When you're young you do some household chores but don't do any work in the kitchen. When your mother dies you're left the house and a private income and your spinster friend comes to live with you. You believe strongly in the need to improve the quality of food and sanitation for the poor so you join a commission on public health and campaign for improvements.
Leisure Time
You eat your main meal (meat and vegetables) in the evening, except on Sundays. You support the church by sewing kneeler covers, arranging flowers and raising money for charity. You learn the piano and enjoy going to the theatre and musical concerts in the local town. Every week you make time to borrow books from the mobile library that passes through your village.
Living Conditions
You employ two servants who live in your house but are unimpressed with the quality of their work.
Marital Relations
The man from the parish you are engaged to is killed at war. You never marry which will set you apart from most of your contemporaries.
World War One
When World War One starts you join a women's auxiliary force and survive to be awarded a 1914 Star and a bronze Victory Medal.
Position in Society
Your life as it might have been further UP or DOWN society's ladder.
Other Possible Occupations
It is unlikely that you ever have to work
