Can a pen colour define your class? – quiz

Find out what your choice of pen colour says about you

Choose one of these five pens to discover what your selection says about your class. All of the pens write in black ink. Go ahead, pick one...

If you identify as working class, then there is a 72% chance that you picked the green (majority) pen, and 28% chance you picked the orange. If you identify as middle class, then your pen choice is much harder to predict, but it's slightly more likely that you picked the orange pen (58%) than the green (42%). These were the findings when this study was run under test conditions at Stanford University. Why? Well there's nothing special about orange versus green. There is the same pattern of majority versus minority even if the colours are reversed.
