ADG

Very conservative
120/400

how many questions are there? I'm on question 30, and it's not done yet... if this ends up having 100 questions I'll be pissed... :1orglaugh

40 questions total :)

252/400 its says I eat tofu and do yoga in the morning.

230/400 here

I started wondering that too, this quiz has a lot of fucking questions. Don't worry Gene, I'll forgive you :1orglaugh

LoL, the seemingly repetitive questions are, I guess, meant to determine how strong your convictions are on certain issues. Sometimes rephrasing the question gets closer to how committed you are to a position. This produces a stronger correlation.

70/400. This makes you extremely conservative.

202/400
This makes you progressive. The average score for Americans is 209.5.

276/400 - This makes you extremely progressive.

79/400
I was hoping for a 0/400....... I guess I will try harder on the next one.

337/400 - This makes you extremely progressive.

A lobotomy. :winkwink:

56/400. This makes you extremely conservative.

You can't side me :pimp ...

I wonder if its even possible to score 0 or 400 on this test.

264/400 - This makes you extremely progressive.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Dude you really have me in stitches over here. Reading really isn't your strong suit, huh? Just giving you shit from the other couple threads.
When you click that link, the page that pops up says this:

the PROGRESSIVE quiz

This 40 question quiz will.... blah blah blah

And right under that you click to start test.

WTF?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I really disliked the phrasing of some of those questions. The one that really bothered me was this one:

"There should be stronger regulation of sex and violence in popular culture and on the internet."

I mean WTF! Those a two separate things at the opposite end of the spectrum to each other.

Why does sex get wrapped up with violence? It is pathetic and shows how very LITTLE our society has really progressed.

:2 cents:

Some are obviously feeler questions. Others are more direct. It seems they are calculated.

Bro don't think I'm actually going to read an intro screen of a damn quiz. Don't have the patience for that :pimp

yea, I guess not... though I usually turn to gfy when I'm half asleep, or tired needing to take a quick break from work... so that could explain my poor reading comprehension skills :(
and really, this is only my 2nd fuck up this week I thought, give me a break :1orglaugh

I'd say I'm more liberal. I don't feel like taking the test.

Extremely Progressive: 301/400

Very Progressive 297/400

You are Extremely Progressive - 333/400

I took it twice. 175 and 201.

Seems about right.

I think I broke it, or it just did not like my answers because it stopped working on #32.

i gave up after 20,they should had kept it short

"245, your are progressive."

I think I got 247.

279/400 - This makes you very progressive.

165/400
This makes you a conservative.

W00t.

192 conservative.

178.

Since I am not progressive, I must be regressive.

I am stuck on 1 question right now that I don't know how to answer:

#34: "Human Life begins at conception and must be protected from that point forward".

To me this is a trick question. I know that Human Life begins at conception, but I disagree that it needs to be protected. (Women should have the right to choose and to get safe abortions).

Still stuck on this one..

argh

Well that is simple. Are you pro-life or pro-choice? Do you think women should have the basic human right to decide whether or not they have a baby when then become pregnant?

It's not hard.

Should women be allowed to control what happens to their own bodies or should the government have the power to decide for them.

I am astounded how many conservatives there are in porn.

/me shakes his head

237 Progressive

What an idiotic test.

A religious conservative who wants to strongly regulate both the economy and society as a whole could well end up getting a similar score to a classical liberal who wants to regulate society as well as the economy as little as possible.

Using even a slightly more accurate scheme, there are 9 different basic positions which are fundamentally different:
Social freedom, economic freedom => classical liberal/libertarian/anarchist
Social freedom, economic regulation => neo-marxist
Social freedom, economic middle ground => liberal (in the US sense of the word)
Social regulation, economic freedom => capitalist conservative
Social regulation, economic regulation => communist
Social regulation, economic middle ground => classical conservative/reactionary
Social middle ground, economic freedom => neoliberal
Social middle ground, economic regulation => socialist
Social middle ground, economic middle ground => moderate

That's why the left/right divide doesn't work :2 cents:

Of course, a more complete scheme would also include the difference between positive and negative freedom in both the economic and the social sense. And that's ignoring other hard-to-classify issues like the environment, the judicial system and animal rights, where issues such as responsibility for the future/sustainability, punishment vs prevention vs rehabilitation and extension of rights play a role.

Which is why anyone who mindlessly follows one political movement is a complete and utter moron.

227 / 400 - progressive

218/400 = progressive

There are 40 questions, which you are to rate from 0 to 10.

Do the math (literally).

If you select 0 x 40 questions you will score 0

If you select 10 x 40 questions you will score 400

That is all....

i answered the first question and realized I was too lazy to do the rest of it

115, very conservative

It's not that simple. My wife works with children that are born at 24 weeks.... well into a period where they could have been aborted. Some of them are now 6 years old and perfectly normal kids that I have interacted with. You have a tough time telling me that at 24 weeks it is simply a matter of a woman's choice and the kid has no rights against being killed. On the other hand, in the first 3 months I think it should be the mother's choice and that we should stay out of it.... So the question is more complex than it was worded.


As to how many conservatives that there are in porn.... There are a lot of people that run their own businesses in this industry. We employ people, pay corporate taxes, deal with government regulation of businesses etc.... So we see things from the side of business and as entrepeneurs.

226/400 Progressive. Whoop-dee-fucking-doo!
