Who are you better than (with science)?

Recently there was a thread asking people who they felt they were superior to, based on intelligence, or money, or...I don't remember, I usually don't read the postings of the rabble.
What that thread did not have which this one does was hard, cold science: that's right, sociology. Here (http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/national/20050515_CLASS_GRAPHIC/index_03.html) is a chart used to calculate your "class percentile". Where do you fall?

It’s certainly not clear that sociology can be seen as a science, no matter how much many sociologists want it to be.
As for the test, I’m classless, as there isn’t any selection for those still in education.
So much for hard science.
I'm better than all of you, because I live in Connecticut.
I mean this in the least snobbish way possible.

I was joking when I said it was cold, hard science. But the chart is based at least on research. The rest of the graphic is also informative, and should be read just for the sake of knowing.
