Heck in your previous questions, I had a laughing fit over "is English take your native language? Take a step back." & "If you are not American, take a step back." due to being Dutch. Privileges in real life are still very relative.
If you wanted to do this in a way it would work, you would have to do it for every nation and society. But I am very much on the bandwagon as well this will lead to nothing in the end.
Even with it done for cities, there would be so many assumptions and generalizations made, I doubt it would tell you anything useful.
That's the issue with those 'privilege tests' in the real world as well, it tells you more about the intentions and views of the test-maker, than it does anything about actual privilege.
Privilege is best when just left as a concept, and a way to express the idea that there are not obvious resources people can have due to their race, birth, nationality, family, etc. It breaks apart when you try to score it like stats in an RPG.
