From Scandum's test (which seems very heavily tilted toward eugenics questions):

Radicalism 39
Socialism 25
Tenderness 46.875

Quote
These scores indicate that you are a moderate conservative; this is the political profile one might associate with a police officer. It appears that you are accepting of religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.

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

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a pragmatist with few strong opinions.


The cop thing is pretty interesting to me, since I did at one time consider a career in law enforcement, right up until my eyesight disqualified me from consideration.

It does seem like that test is uh, slanted in a particular direction.

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 right-wing.

Not really, no, a lot of what they've had to say in the hyperbole filled thread seems to fit where these tests are placing them.

The following test gives more detailed results:

As has been pointed out already, this test is heavily weighted with eugenics questions. My result:

Quote
Radicalism 91.25
Socialism 50
Tenderness 50

These scores indicate that you are a progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a university professor. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic 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 political centrist.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a eugenicist with several strong opinions.

So that test puts me more in the centre where the others put me more to the left, economically speaking. I suspect if we average the results there we'll get it roughly right - definitely left of centre but not a full-blown socialist.

Out politics are obscure, often waffling and rotating(!). It goes into the third dimension, taking things to a whole new level.

Most tests do not measure hereditarian / egalitarian attitudes, you guys make it seem like it's a bad thing to ask these kind of questions?

I think the most striking difference in my scores with the average person is my tenderness score being below 20%. It's also interesting how conservatives tend to have moderate to high tenderness.

It's not that it's bad to ask the questions, I don't mind one way or the other, it's that the particular test seemed overly focused on that as a primary issue which might skew results in ways it shouldn't.

I see, that's not the case however. The eugenics related questions don't influence the outcome of the socialism, tenderness, and radicalism scores, and as such don't have an impact on the first two lines of the dynamic description.

The third line combined your hereditarian, eugenic, and sentimental attitude scores for a eugenic/egalitarian label and based on how many times you answer strongly agree/disagree it'll state how opinionated you are.

These scores indicate that you are a tough-minded moderate conservative; this is the political profile one might associate with a drill sergeant. It appears that you are moderate towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as pro-government.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a pragmatist with many strong opinions.

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