When it comes to being a proud American, do you feel you’re “average” or “below average?”
Someone gathered stats of random things the “average” American does, then they polled people on BuzzFeed, so they could compare their answers. Eight different things were listed for them to vote on.
Now before we get to the eight things to see if you’re an above or below average American, we should probably define what “average” is. According to Google, the average American is considered social class. They’re referred to as being either a member of the middle or working class. And now that we’ve established this, it probably doesn’t pertain to these eight things that would define an average or below average American! So if you worried a little bit, you’ll be just fine!
We just want to make it clear that even if you do a lot of these things or don’t, there’s nothing wrong with being above or below average! You keep doing you. These results just show where you would rank amongst Americans.
