Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear communist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a cultural marxist.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a kind-hearted radical egalitarian with an established worldview.

Well, at least I ain't the only one.

I had problems with some of the questions, but that's normal. Because of that, it also failed to accurately describe me. I played around with it to get a sense of their metrics, and there are some flaws with it that would prevent their system from pegging me. For example, their question about "This universe was undoubtedly created by God" is apparently the one that flips the words on the attitude towards religion. Because I don't believe in that god and marked "strongly disagree" it called me "skeptical" of religion, which is nonsense. Religion does not equate to theism, and it certainly doesn't equate to classical monotheism. And I just have no clue what to make of this question:

24) The sight of young men with long hair is unpleasant.

Seriously? What does that have to do with anything? XD

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible realistic egalitarian with an established worldview.

This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.

Interesting!! I now know what to call myself!

I interpreted the question in more of a deist manner, so I put my answer in the middle. I also noticed if you were to plot everyone's results, it would seem like we a group of extremely like-minded individuals and there are very few differences among us. There are especially a bunch of progressives, journalists, and university professors showing up in the results.

What's a radical egalitarian? It seems like an oxymoron to me.

It does, doesn't it? It gave me the image of someone with a club beating people who don't believe in equality.

 

[StarryNightshade]

I'm still amazed that I was listed as "socialist"; especially since there were only, like, two questions regarding economics.

I answered the "is capitalism evil" question with a "neither agree nor disagree", and I answered the "should more money go into social programs and education" with an "agree".

Hardly sounds socialist to me.

Communism is a form of radical egalitarianism. It's any viewpoint that believes in the revolutionary restructuring of society along egalitarian lines.

Sorry, I couldn't concentrate on your post. Your flaming red-communism was distracting me.

Your test scores indicate that you are a tough-minded cultural centrist; this is the political profile one might associate with a jaded materialist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a traditionalist.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a uncompromising radical egalitarian with few strong convictions.


Hmmmm,

Radical Egalitarianism is a political theory associated with the ideas of optimistic tendencies, the suggestions that Americans must work in a multiracial society, and that citizens must use activism and social reform within the current institutions.

It may be that you have yet to fully conceptualize what "socialism" is, vs. what you believe what "capitalism" may be beyond mere "economic" equations.

That's ok.

No doubt you are amongst many that demand that govt. keeps their hands off of "Social Security" and "Medicare".

Infrastructure aspects such as maintaining roads, bridges, tunnels, railways, etc. are matters best left to corporations and for profit business? Shall we also hope that heath care is best managed by for profit insurance companies? You know, like supporting service veterans in the VA? Or poor children, homeless people, or single parents? Shall we continue how capitalism best serves the needs of the weak and helpless?

Your turn.

Your attitudes towards economics appear communist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a humanist.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible realistic egalitarian with several strong convictions.

I felt like some of the questions where weird. Like if we spend too much on the military. That would depend on what nation you live in, so its hard to give a good answer.

I'm an "ultra-progressive"?

Excellent... my conspiracy of using subliminal messages is working... I didnt just write out my thoughts, did I?

 

[Kerr]

This is clearly a USian test: I had to look up paleoconservative, not a term one hears in Britain. I don't think you can make a universal test: too many things depend on local conditions. I was amused to see some people were said to be tender-minded ultra-progressives "like a university professor"! — they should have met the man who interviewed and accepted me for my college, Maurice Cowling.

Honestly, I got that impression as well. That it was a bit US centered. Some of us dont live in the US. Shocking, isnt it ?

Your attitudes towards economics appear capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a libertarian.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a considerate pascifistic egalitarian with several strong convictions.

That's a bit low on Socialism, which I think represents my views pretty well.

Your turn.

1.) I never said socialism is a bad thing.

2.) I actively support SS and medicare.

3.) No. Such things are not best left in the hands of cooperations. Also, when any social service is "for profit", it very likely does not have the welfare of people at it's best interest.

4.) I very much support social programs, education, healthcare reform, prison reform, etc. I simply said I was a little surprised that the quiz labeled me as "socialist", considering socialism is often viewed in an economical sense and there were only a couple of economic questions.

You would be surprised. Alot of people still think it very inappropriate, many companies will not allow it of their male employees, and some still regard it as a feminine trait.
