I'd say it is because people on this site tend to be more educated than average. The right feeds on the ignorant masses through populism, but most people here (who are socialists, social dems, or libertarians) can eat through the rhetoric.

That is the point of these types of tests: if you are on one side of the scale you interpret the question one way if you are on the other side you interpret it the other. Have you ever done the Myers-Briggs or Strong tests?

apolyton has taken a bit shift to the left over the years... about two years ago there was a drug legalization thread and someone remarked that had it been two years previously (2000), there wouldve been a heated debate but now, it's just one or two conservatives versus all. the right wing on apolyton has gone libertarian and the leftists are still leftist.

I just had my mom take the test. She scored like -7.2 and -4.8 (eco and social respectively). Keep in mind she's a director level at a major health care company and has an MBA. She told me, "I got my MBA so I would know my enemy."

I didn't fall far from the tree.

Some of those questions could be cut and pasted on to a "Moron Compass" test. Take this one about homosexuality:

No one can feel naturally homosexual.

Agreeing to this one is like saying, "Hello, I'm a moron", because its a false statement. It's like saying, "The world is flat". It's just false. And believing in things that are blatantly wrong makes someone a moron.

And not coincidentally... agreeing to questions like those puts one, generally, on the right.

And it depends upon your definition of 'natural'. Many people will see these desires as real, but not natural.

one of the questions...

quote: Schools should not make classroom attendance compulsory.

i'm assuming agreeing with this stupid idea is the left-wing answer...

or how about this one...

quote: Those who are able to work, and refuse the opportunity, should not expect society's support.

disagreeing with this takes an idiot yet its also the left-wing answer.

quote: Originally posted by Albert Speer Schools should not make classroom attendance compulsory.

I disagreed with this one and got negatives on both. I'm guessing that it would be more libertarian to not be compulsory. However, I fail to see how not believing in compulsory schooling makes someone a moron.

I guess your just mad because you probably gave the moron answer for the question I mentioned. But your attempt to counter my statement was weak. It's really sad for you I guess... you feel so bad that your homophobia is moronic that you try to insult me.

ALthough, if you weren't referring to my post, then disregard this.

I'm a much better troll than you.

I was countering AS's assertion that all liberals at 'Poly were white suburbanites.

BTW, I am against compulosry schooling. I am so fed up with our education system that if I have kids I'll home-school them. Compulsory schooling also creates a risk of school being used to spread propaganda (like when civics textbooks say big, fat corporations are good).

Another thing that may be biasing the test is retaking it. Usually, the first test is the most accurate one. When you retake it you may be biasing the test, either consciously or sub-consciously, in whatever direction you would like to see it go.

St Leo, well you know that this result would make me far right fanatic here.. even our far right would be your moderate left. So I guess that's ok. And I know what makes the result like that and I think some of the questions were bad. But things like that I do not support death penalty would make the scale go to the left a bit.
