Most blue-collar or ivory-tower characters

As part of the Statistical "Which Character" Personality Quiz, this website has had volunteers rate 2,000 characters on a 100 point scale from "blue-collar" to "ivory-tower". This page lists the 25 characters whose average ratings were the farthest to either side. Because the scale is bipolar, it is reversable. For example, a rating of 1/100 for "blue-collar" is the same as 100/100 for "ivory-tower". See the documentation for more information about how these ratings were collected.
