I tried it; it tells me, laughably, that I am 'traditional working class'. Out of the 7 categories, that is probably the least like me but one. Even the pattern of 'wedges' it shows for me, which is pretty simplistic, should make me 'technical middle class', just going by eye. Have I ever struck anyone here as 'traditional working class'?
So I'm inclined to go with the people who say this new classification is a load of bollocks.

which says I'm "a new affluent worker."
This class group is sociable, has lots of cultural interests and is in the middle of all the class groups in terms of wealth. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group:
Are young
Come from a working class background
Own their own home
Tossers - I'm retired.
I'll PM you on the subject of working class.
