I wonder how this test does compute with anything it spews up. I would call you a centrist based on the actual bars. It seems off on so many levels.

I don't understand your results. You get called neo-con despite scoring strongly secularist, and have very slight authoritarian tendencies. Considering jesus and authoritarianism figure prominently in the movement.

Methinks this "test" is badly designed.

It is a very bad test to be honest. The amount of negatively phrased questions can put anyone off their game for a start (reminds me of when I passed my test at Cisco), plus there were certain questions that were leaning in one sense and towards another, going from one extreme to the other so you will get a mixed rating.

I stayed neutral on most of the loaded ones. Still puts me left of centre on most issues. Doesn't come as a big surprise, since I consider myself to be left of centre. Not on all economical issues, but on all social ones. I started out as a conservative, but conservative meant something different when I was young. Now it's something to puke over on most issues. So I don't think I changed as much as the definitions have changed.

And, wow... I didn't necessarily think the question set was going to produce something I thought made sense, but... I found this scarily close to how I'd describe myself.



Also: Cosmopolitan Social Democrat. I don't know if that's an established political classification, a translation of a German political party name, or something made up on the spot, but damn I think that's a pretty good descriptor of my political values.

What's the difference between Cosmopolitan SD and SD Cosmopolitan? Honestly, the more I look the worst the test gets.

When I did the test (and in spite of what happened recently in a couple of threads), I did answer those questions with sincerity and I fully understood them. I know from experience (as seen on French tv, that people have to switch to another way of thinking when a question is asked with a negative) that you just have to concentrate and read each question thoroughly and honestly as you can. The graphic is just simple code and I don't it bares any resemblance to reality (though I could be wrong.)
