- Class or caste - A classification that an individual may never escape from.
- Personality - Extrovert and introvert are classifications of personality.
- Intelligence - educational establishments, based on IQ, often segregate us.

- Age/generation - I am a teenager. I'm to the point where I am almost an adult, but still quite young.
- Gender - Female.
- Race - I am half mexican, white, and 1/8th Yaqui indian.
- Religion - Growing up, my family never enforced a religion. As I got older, I looked into what religion best described my beliefs, and found that I'd be considered an Agnostic.
- Class or caste - My family would be considered middle class, or average. We aren't rich enough to buy a new car every far, but we do have the basic necessities, and then some.
- Personality - I consider myself to be soft-spoken, and kept to myself, until I find myself around people that I am comfortable with.
- Intelligence - I don't consider myself to be a genius, but I do have enough common sense to make me successful in life.
- Political persuasion - Politics don't interest me. I don't understand them, so I don't make much of an effort to further my knowledge in them.
