Erm.....apparently Im a socialist? I dunno....I dont think so

Eh, that one I'm not so sure about. I'm pretty convinced that humans by and large are rotten people, that said I try not to worry about it too much and just do the best I can

I think most people are decent.

The test says that you are, thus it must obviously be the truth. The internet said so. =)

Oh and if we're going to be questioning the results. Apparently I'm a libertarian, despite answering a fair few of the questions with authoritarian responses (hey have all the rights you want, just don't use them to gak all over everyone else's business). I can agree with the liberalness, but I could hardly fit in at a leftist tea party (for one thing I dislike tea).

Just to clarify I'm in favor of improving humanity as whole.

Yes, a tea party's the same thing but with floral dresses.

Apparently I'm an idealist, and an exponent of laissez-faire capitalism. My libertarian friends will be thrilled.

Anyway, that test was poorly constructed. Stacking questions* is always frowned upon.


* Placing questions relating to a general topic in visible sequence.

I normally describe myself as a conservative libertarian in most cases. I'm a pretty conservative guy in my own morals, but I don't really care what other people do as long as they don't bother me too much.

That said politics is tricky because you have to separate your "ideal political system" from "the political system you actually want to see implemented taking into account all the imperfections of human nature".

Quite frankly I'd like nothing more than to be under a benevolent dictatorship as long as the leader guy knows what he's doing. I'm just smart enough to know that nobody is actually qualified for that job.

It wore the results to a given question on its wrist too. Ie asking whether you consider Jews and Muslims as acceptable citizens would obviously wind you up on the radical side if you disagreed (and on some sort of registry). I doubt that this test would be used for anything practical, but a person shouldn't be able to sit there and influence the results with ease.

I wonder if I should be concerned that I'm the only one who got "very" in front of "tough-minded."

Unlike many other political tests found on the Internet which base themselves on untested (and usually ideologically motivated) ideas, this inventory is adapted from Hans Eysenck's own political inventory which was developed after extensive empirical investigations in the 20th Century.

You have 0 on your socialism score. At that rate Mossad will be chapping on your door at some point in future, at least if this test is to be believed.

Well, that part doesn't concern me. That just indicates freedom from Bolshevik taint.

Nobody here is surprised.

I am amazed at such a high score in 'tenderness'.
