    Then comes your income and whether you rent or own.
    Not what I found. I went for a pretty full set of people and all the cultural stuff except opera, ballet, gigs (too old), and hip hop, and found I could get to either end of the scale by varying the income and savings.

    The fact that renting blanks out the property value fields tells me a lot about the class expectations of those who designed the survey.

        Last question in the Cultural section: Listen to hip-hop/rap

          It is a sign of strength for an agent to admit they are plebs.
