Societal Experiences Survey

A Survey on Life Experiences

This survey is designed as a tool for perspective. It explores the concept of potentiality—the idea that our starting point in life is profoundly shaped by societal structures we don't control. The following questions touch on various socioeconomic privileges that can define one's path. This isn't a measure of your effort or worth, but an eye-opening exercise to reflect on the different journeys people navigate.

Your Results Breakdown

This shows how closely your experiences align with dominant societal norms across different life categories.
