I think the interesting thing about this quiz is that it implies that if you grew up or are in a "working class" family in America, that means you're not in a bubble, it's only middle class or higher that might be in a bubble. Seems odd that by this quiz definition someone who has lived their whole life in that environment wouldn't also be considered living in a bubble, just a different one than they're focused on discussing here.
i think the interesting thing about the oceanographers is that they say that if you are in the water, that means you're not in a bubble, it's only the air and some other gases that might be in a bubble.
the question is how much have you interacted with what's normal in America based on population numbers, not how much you've interacted with diverse groups.
also note their target audience. it's a pbs website. it's so far deep inside the bubble it probably couldn't get out if it worked on a factory floor for a year
