  • Political Left/Right Test

    ERCougar (sadly found only in the CS graveyard) posted a link to this test that reveals where you are on the political left/right scale. I know most tests on the internet are simply clickbait (btw, among Disney princesses I'm most like Belle), but this one has some basis in science and, despite being so short with little nuance, it provides at least an interesting conclusion. I know some who have taken it disagree with their results but I think it pegged me pretty well (right-leaning centrist). It takes only a couple of minutes. I'd put this up as a poll but I'm uncertain what the various results might be. Do tell.

          I would at least try the monkey meat, if it was in a stew or chili or something.

          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                    One could see how each answer would likely affect the results, but I'm curious if a "don't know what arugula is" response would push one more to the right than would "dislike arugula." I'm also curious how the three answers to "where would you prefer to live", big city, out in the country, or small town, would change things. I voted "small town," since I love where I live and our little burg has only 70,000 residents, but it's within a 40-minute drive of three major cities and three international airports, without which I'd live elsewhere. I suspect by "small town" they meant something more like Mayberry or Hooterville.

                        Somewhat left-wing

                        65 left|35 right. I've become more conservative I guess.

                          This is the first surprise, mild though it was, of the results thus far. I'd have thought you were more in the 75-80 range. I'm looking forward to wuap's answer, among others...
