We’re all familiar with ‘credit scores’, where financial institutions track how responsible you are with your hard-earned money to assign you a value determining the loans and cards you are eligible to apply for.
However, a new scoring system being trialled in China (set to become standard practice by 2020) and currently under consideration in Europe is far less discussed despite the fact it may eventually become an integral part of our day to day lives.
HOW WOULD THE SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE AFFECT ME? This system monitors a lot more than your financial savviness. It involves governmental and financial institutions ranking your everyday behaviour – both online and via CCTV monitoring – and has been dubbed the ‘social credit score’.
Essentially, everything from the way you spend your money and behave on social media to the people you associate with would affect your score and whether you are rewarded or punished.
To find out how well you would rank under these conditions and whether you would be eligible for rewards or social restrictions, take our Surviving the Social Credit Score quiz.

“...the results are recorded and probably linked to your IP address...”
Not “probably”. ARE.
“probably linked to your IP address”
Unlikely. Your IP changes all the time.
Really...I didn’t know that. How about MAC address (or whatever it’s called).
I don’t consider FR social media. It’s a private opinion and news site. My opinion.
MAC stay the same, but can be manipulated.

Congratulations! So was mine. 😄
Exactly! And I’m pretty sure just about everybody has made a late payment at least once and has crossed the street without looking both ways at least once.
Fascinating that they admit there are different levels of socialized health care and waiting lists that can be jumped!
” Censor Americans Deemed ‘Extremists’ “
Every Trump voter and FR account.
Just for fun, I reversed my answers. Whoo-hooo! Dates with hot “karens”
Congratulations,
your social credit score would be considered good to excellent.
Based on existing versions of the scheme, this means that you could benefit from rewards including...
Jumping healthcare waiting lists
Greater opportunities for your children to attend the best schools
Discounts on energy bills
Better interest rates at banks
Exclusive travel privileges i.e. first class
Deposit-free flat rentals and hotel stays
Prioritised access to dating sites
They could have simplified the quiz by just asking, “Are you conservative?”
Very proud to have a “bad to terrible” rating. It confirms I’m not a sheep.
