The categories they use to describe people are a bit odd - I am a "neoliberal Democrat" - however the results seem fairly accurate.

Nice to see they're being inclusive by allowing a 'Not Sure' gender option.

It would be good for the public authorities to pay their debts no longer.


:eh:

Social Democrat.

Everything the Daily Mail* hates! Success!

Not sure how I only got 59pc secular though. Might have been that question on religious education being compulsory.

8 percent are more extremist than you.


Well, that's a little worrying.

This test doesn't look like it was written by a native English speaker; there are some weird wordings, like "The globalization is desirable, as long as all the nations can profit from it." Why use the definite article with 'globalization'? Anyway, my results:
I am a "Social Democrat"...

You are a social democratic Cosmopolitan. 13 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 71 percent are more extremist than you.

Tells me nothing I didn't already know. :dunno:
Not quite as anarchistic as in other tests though, but then again... this test is different.

You are a social democratic Cosmopolitan. 13 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 6 percent are more extremist than you
Being called a Social Democrat is an insult though. :lay:

hmm.. I always considered myself a liberal democrat, although I've shifted to the left somewhat over the last year or so. :ask:

OMG: You are a social-democratic cosmopolitan. 1 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 6 percent are more extremist than you.

I would've thought my secular score would be higher, so I'm not the militant, rampaging atheist everyone says I am. Possibly it has an American bias some of the questions don't apply to my country. I agree the questions are strange "the globalization" being one of them.

It means you're a cocktail. Or a women's magazine.


You are a Social Democrat. 12 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 16 percent are more extremist than you.

No, it wasn't. Hint: It's a German site!

Anyway, I'm a Socialdemocrat, which I'm most definitely not. It amounts to an insult to be called that. Especially when you look at the results! :lol:

I'm not entirely sure why I'm so anthropocentric; maybe the animal testing and meat eating questions :dunno:. I'm also more of a commie than I initially thought.

Definitely not a women's magazine. I rather fancy being a visionary.
