Put an end to popups!

*yawn* this test is fundamentally flawed, they talk about Eysenck and yet don't use his democratic/autocratic axis but a libertarian/authoritarian one which has been plucked out of the air. The results are clearly skewed towards libertarianism and the whole thing is inherently biased.

Economic Left/Right: -7.25
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -7.18

If it is flawed... does that mean I go more towards the right?

Is the test skewed or this forum? Does a good test mean results would be evenly distributed? If you wanted a poll saying where you stood relative to this forum that might be a different matter.

5.38
-3.03

This test had some flaws, and I know this beause I administered a similar test 1000's of times at the county fair...

it doesn't address the issues of
gun control
abortion
legalization of drugs other than marijuana
foreign aid


it has some skewed questions:

We'd be better off if companies simply told the truth, rather than spending a fortune on manipulative consumer advertising.

ok, this one right here tells me the intentions of the writer of the test.
quote:

First-generation immigrants can never be fully integrated within their new country.

I answered agree to this, although I am all for free and unlimited immigration.


other than that it was pretty interesting.
