Meh. More accurate than other tests I've done I suppose.

Problems with many of the questions though. For example, I am of the opinion that the Cold War nuclear arms race did effectively prevent a conventional war. But there are ways to prevent deliberate conventional conflict without incurring a systemic risk of worldwide devestation if someone fucks up. I support religious education in schools, just not religious indoctrination. I think that technological progress has helped more than it has harmed, though I think it has done a lot of harm. I support animal testing, but only because the alternatives are worse.

The survey seemed to assume a lot.

But, as I said, better than the others. The last one I did seemed to imply that, next to me, Gandhi was practically a Nazi.

In each religion-related question, I took a strongly anti-religion stance, and should have scored 100% in terms of secularism. I didn't, and don't understand why.

Next to each question it says "un/weighted". You can take 5 questions and make them count more towards your score. So if you make all the religion questions more "weighted" by clicking the blue button, you should get 90%+. I made the same mistake when I did it.

You are a Social Democrat. 12 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 35 percent are more extremist than you.

I am very secular.

Thanks for that. Wan't sure of the purpose of those things!

"You are a liberal Cosmopolitan. 4 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 85 percent are more extremist than you."

That's pretty much straight down the middle, except very secularist and slightly pacifist, cosmopolitan and visionary.

Silly questionaire for the simpy reason is someone asks me do I agree strongly or disagree strongly with something the answer in almost all cases is going to be no, it depends is always the more rational answer

Same for customer service surveys I will never answer 1 or 10 out of 10 because no one is perfect or has no redeeming qualities

Another cocktail.

You are a cosmopolitan Social Democrat. 15 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 38 percent are more extremist than you.

Cosmopolitan Social Democrat.

Hmm...well, I was told I had too many 'weighted' answers so, unhappily, I got rid of a bunch.
It left me with this;





It told me I'm a Trotskyist (I bloody well am not!) and apparently no one is more extreme than me....
I'm actually probably more ecological and anarchistic than indicated, but tricky to judge....

Yup. I'm pretty sure Dawkins also gives himself a "2" when asked how sure he is about the existence of God, for the exact same reason.

I reckon agreeing or disagreeing with anything is pretty much a conservative trait

I agree.

Wait, no, I mean disagree.

Er...

Call me a social democratic Cosmopolitan then.

'Tis what it is I guess.

Seems im extremely typical for this site

Pretty sure I answered every question correctly, so if you score differs from mine, you are wrong.

That is pretty embarrassing. Not something I would want to admit, methinks.
