Another Silly Quiz

In the spirit of relaxing for a few days, I offer you this entertaining little diversion: another quiz that claims to explain our views to us, but really just begs questions left and right. My favorite:

58) The maintenance of internal order within the nation is more important than ensuring that there is complete freedom for all.
Yep. Because we all know that you can ensure "complete freedom" really well without any internal order! Just ask Iraqis.

Anyway, spend a few minutes, take the quiz, and report your always-entertaining results. I'll start it off in the comments.

My results were (more or less) accurate:

""Radicalism: 26 percent

Tenderness: 51.5 percent

Socialism: 30 percent

These scores indicate that you are a conservative; this is the political profile one might associate with a police officer. It appears that you are accepting of religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

To round out the picture, your attitudes towards economics appear capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as right-wing.""

I'm generally an "issues" voter, so my results pretty well matched my views. Plus, it's always nice to see yourself labelled a "regular person.":

Your scores:

Radicalism: 47 percent

Tenderness: 42.5 percent

Socialism: 50 percent


These scores indicate that you are a moderate; this is the political profile one might associate with a regular person. It appears that you are neutral towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

To round out the picture, your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a political centrist.

Piffle. What is a "left-wing capitalist"? The term "left wing" has no meaning in the radical/conservative axis they describe. And it's just not fair to keep bringing up flogging. I may think our criminal justice system is too retrubutive, but I'm a sucker for pirates.

But interesting, nonetheless. I bet my pinko score would have been higher as recently a 6 months ago.

"Your scores:
Radicalism: 65 percent
Tenderness: 51.5 percent
Socialism: 38 percent

These scores indicate that you are a radical; this is the political profile one might associate with a university professor. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.

To round out the picture, your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as libertarian.

This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting."

I'm more concerned with who is behind the website. Kang from the Simpsons could be monitoring the stats, slavering and deciding what cities to eat first.

Radicalism:

Tenderness:

Socialism: 77 percent

36.5 percent

50 percent


These scores indicate that you are a tough-minded radical; this is the political profile one might associate with a liberated atheist. It appears that you are cynical towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

To round out the picture, your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as left-wing.

That sounds about right, though strangely I answered every religion question with a "no comment," because, well, I don't know. I just think it should be left out of gov't.

Pascal and I are pretty similar:

Tenderness: 47 percent
Socialism: 58 percent

I don't know about being a radical... I feel there should be a category between moderate and radical to make it a little more accurate, but hey, it's good to know my commie hippie status would make me a good university professor.
