Of 12 questions, I answered 7 in the more conservative fashion, but it says I'm 70% liberal/30% conservative.

If you go with all-leftmost questions and vary the dog/cat question, dog people are 62% conservative and cat people are 29% conservative.

79% liberal, 21% conservative.

Though I found a few of the questions should have had a neutral answer. The cat/dog thing being really dumb.

If I follow what they did, it's all correlation. No evaluation up front. Sort of makes sense though...cat people=city people=liberals.

I got 93% liberal, 7% conservative.


what the hell was the point of the question about internet browsers? do only filthy commie liberals use chrome or something?




also, why do i have to be conservative to be proud of my country's history (also, I only put "somewhat agree, because theres a shitload of it im NOT proud of)? thats horseshit.

I think if you choose any browser but IE you get a liberal tag. Kind of like conservatives would not bother adding their own software programs, but instead just accept the status quo.

Same thing with the NYC question, it's fucking NYC and my only choices are times square or a museum? Why not Yankee stadium, ground zero, empire state building, ellis island, statue of liberty, trumps gold plated bathroom....I mean, c'mon!

It's just a quick and dirty style test, obviously not worth much because it pegged Red much too far left of center.

i personally love museums, but not art. i still went with it because id prefer it to time square, but still.

frankly, i dont know if id ever even want to visit NYC even though i only live like 3 hours away now. i dont like big cities, ive been to chicago enough times to know. too big, loud, and dirty, and FAR too many people. especially stupid people. I like shrubbery more than I like most people.

20% conservative, 80% liberal.

also, it told me i have really big balls.

 

[spockmaster]

hah, im a little surprised noone is up in my area of 93%

 

[TheVictors]

2/3rd Liberal
1/3rd Conservative

good stuff

Go Broncos!!

 

[Michchamp]

I answered all the questions as idiotically as I could (go to Times Square, borders in the world, fuck other people in other countries), and I still only got 95% conservative.

not sure how having a neat/organized desk makes you either... but I think that is where I lost the remaining 5%

Yeah I don't get that. Dogs are more social and altruistic animals; if anything dog owners would be more liberal. I hate cats; the only exception I'd make is for cats that usefully kill rodent pests.

You must be the only cat person.

 

[SpartyNash]

57% liberal, 43% conservative, I would have guessed 65/35 but not too off somehow

 

[tinselwolverine]

I don't think they really paid attention the levels of agreement or disagreement.

Has me 86% conservative. No way. I'm more like 51%.

 

[spockmaster]

I guess so. I love my slightly insane kitties.

 

[Sbee]

78% liberal

wouldn't be caught dead in times square

have two cats, not anti dog, just lived in chicago and didn't want the responsibility of a dog

 

[Sbee]

also, a dog is now a must have accessory for running for president

 

[spockmaster]

Im moderately ok with some dogs, but theyre not my favorite. the only breeds i would want to own (big working dogs) i'll probably never have the lifestyle to be able to properly support.


i despise tiny, yappy dogs with the fire of a thousand suns.
