You are a social democratic patriot. 4 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 20 percent are more extremist than you.

Not exactly the capitalist republican my parents would like me to be.

You are a cosmopolitan Social Democrat. 14 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 39 percent are more extremist than you.
I think I got only 77% secular because I said religious education should be taught in schools. I didn't mean this like I think they think I meant it. (Which is that particular religions should be taught as truth). Rather, I meant that children should be taught about different religions and their effect on society, and the dangers of religion, while also showing them the atheism/agnosticism option. Kind of like a philosophy class.

I can agree with have a class about mythologies, and sticking religions in the same class. I mean the greek gods are commonly believed to be myths, but at one time people actually did worship them. If you want to talk about them as being stories, and not trying to say the bible or whatever is the inerrent word of the lord, then I'm ok with it.
I did say no to that question because I know how they most likely meant it.

I got only seventy percent. I think I might have accidentally said that religions shouldn't not get special privileges. But that shouldn't count for thirty percent. So far no one has one hundred percent, so I'm curious as to what we all put that made us fall short.

I found the test to be terrible. No surprise there: I often do. Beneath is their utterly useless measurement of my answers
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

You are a capitalist. 1 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 2 percent are more extremist than you.
That's me, though I have some objections to the questions because a few of them were highly ambiguous. For example:
"It would be good for the public authorities to pay their debts no longer."
Does agreement with this statement mean that you think it is good for public authorities to pay off their debts quickly, or that it is good for public authorities to abandon their debt and give a middle finger to the entities that loaned the money? Likewise, does disagreement with the statement mean you think public debt is a good thing, or that public authorities shouldn't abandon their debt but pay it when possible?

A lot of the questions were worded very poorly as others noted. I don't have a lot of confidence in the results.
