The privilege criteria were basically broken down into heterosexual privilege, male privilege, cisgender, very few touched on class and able bodied privilege. If I looked over the list again. I think there were a few more. Oh religion as well.

Definitely. So really, there were too few criteria in the whole scheme of things. For example, the criteria relating to race did not specify things like language or background. Two people from two very different racial "minority" groups could still be very different in terms of how they are privileged or not. I work with immigrant families from India who are EXTREMELY different from the immigrant families from Vietnam and Cambodia in terms of their "privilege," even though going by this survey's statements they would have answered basically the same.
Good point in that there are different types of privilege. I guess this survey tries to lump them all into one when rather, it's a lot more complicated than that.
