What Is Your Spoon Class?

This test diagnoses your Spoon Class based on your upbringing and economic background. It's a fun, realistic take on the "spoon class theory" — a popular social concept about the socioeconomic advantages (or lack thereof) you're born into. Across 12 questions covering your childhood home, parents' careers, education, and more, you'll be sorted into one of four tiers: Gold, Silver, Bronze, or Dirt. It's meant to be entertaining, but you might be surprised at how relatable the results feel.

There are four tiers: Gold Spoon, Silver Spoon, Bronze Spoon, and Dirt Spoon. It's not just a simple ranking — each result includes an honest breakdown of strengths, weaknesses, a piece of advice, and compatibility with other spoon types. For example, the Gold Spoon's greatest asset is the confidence that comes from abundance, but they may lack the hunger and drive of someone who built everything from scratch. Meanwhile, the Dirt Spoon has incredible survival instincts but can be prone to learned helplessness.

Anyone interested in socioeconomic class memes, anyone who wants a fun way to reflect on their upbringing, or anyone who wants a good laugh comparing results with friends. It's especially popular among teens and young adults who enjoy class-related content on social media. Share it in a group chat and you're guaranteed reactions like "Wait, YOU'RE a Gold Spoon?!" Keep it light and don't take the results too seriously — that's the whole point.

This test draws on Pierre Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital and Leon Festinger's Social Comparison Theory. Bourdieu argued that social class is reflected not just in economic wealth, but also in cultural habits and tastes. The 12 questions cover a range of real-life areas including housing, education, spending, and family environment.

About 2 to 4 minutes on average. There are 12 questions, each with 4 answer choices — just think back to your own upbringing and answer accordingly. The key to getting an accurate result is to go with your gut and be honest rather than overthinking it.

Absolutely! This test is actually the most fun when you do it with friends. You can share your results directly to X (Twitter) and more from the results screen. Reactions like "Wait, YOU'RE a Gold Spoon?!" and "I got Dirt Spoon lol" are basically guaranteed. There's even a compatibility analysis so you can check your chemistry with your friends' spoon types.
