Self-referential and self-contradicting statements? My favorite kind of fun.

I should seriously expound on that phenomenon of that effect one day >_< because there's a lot that can be understood that is a bit misplaced along the way of understanding it.

Especially considering the whole field of 'self-descriptions and when or why/how do we apply them'?

[Reudh]

I'm 18, dude.

Also I'm not saying I have a bad life, but it's certainly not one of an intellectual.

It's kinda funny how people's ages stay in stasis in one's mind until you learn otherwise

Anyway, mine certainly wasn't at 18 either, and I hated it. When I finally got to uni at 20, that changed everything!

Tiruin's Psychology Musings thread when?

How middle class are you? Independent
I got 0, which would indicate I am zero percent middle class. This is an interesting idea, as our civil office has been developing questions to reveal those who are middle class, for reasons of hilarious corbynating.
Did the same for the middle class test by the Telegraph,
I got a 1 on the list - I own a dyson hoover. In my experience a dyson hoover lasts forever until someone breaks it on purpose or God decides you need your shit fucked up, good investments they are. Everything else just seems like useless swpl shit

Social class test: Britbong Beeb Corp edition
Result:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Makes a lot more sense than the other tests tbh
Capital income average, capital savings lower
Very high social capital, though not that much diversity in the occupations
Very high emerging cultural capital (GET FUCKING ENRICHED SON), low highbrow cultural capital
I like the last test most, seems most useful

2 on the Independent - I played cricket and listened to Radio Four.
1 on the Telegraph - We have a wood burning stove.
Technical Middle Class on the BBC

[Yoink]

Haven't exactly been paying attention, but I got ISTP, whatever that means.
(41% 19% 25% 9%)

Probably not very accurate since a lot of the questions were difficult to answer, and the answer would vary greatly due to other circumstances not covered by the question. Also I'm horribly indecisive. >.>

I would consider myself a young tech start-up but my last two jobs were field worker and convenience store worker, so my penchant for wandering in the fields and forests and foraging might be rather unique.

In other news, I started reading the fictions of Sheri S. Tepper. I started off with The Awakeners, a story of a metal-poor planet inhabited by humans and raven-people. Really heavy Dark Souls vibes, with a dark pact between the two species. After finishing that in about a day and a half (was also up and around doing housework) I started on Grass.

Her writing alternates between philosophical dialectics and horrific scenes of violence, I guess popularized by Stephen King but not misused by her.

For independent, I googled açaí because I needed to know about it as a prominent non-timber forest product of the Amazon and talk about it in front of educated people. For literally everything else, I'm not middle class due to not being British. Telegraph was zero for much the same reason. BBC says I'm Precariat, but I'm pretty sure it misdiagnosed me because a lot of my cultural interests are digital, and I should be Emergent Service.

[Flying Dice]

0 on the first, 2 on the second (Dyson, vinyl -- those and the turntable are hand-me-downs, though, not shit I went out and bought), Precariat in the last.

Disclaimer: I am a hamburglar, not a crumpet-trumpet, therefore the vast majority of all of this was utterly irrelevant and often totally alien.

[BorkBorkGoesTheCode]

Are these tests used as a substitute for traditions?

[Cthulhu]

There are lots of very intelligent young people in homeless shelters, jail, or the graveyard.  Being smart means nothing if you don't do something with it. 

The middle class test is so bong it's like reading an alien monolith.  Part of me thinks it's just making shit up to fuck with Americans.  It's like something they'd ad lib on Rick and Morty for interdimensional TV
