took it yesterday, don't remember the exact scores, but
55 radical,
40ish
42ish
in whatever order they give out the scores. I was labelled a moderate. which is pretty close. I don't know what I am, except for not radical liberal or radical conservative.

Re: Crazy
but if you put "strongly agree" to the questions such as God created the world, and some others like that,
shouldn't that create the balance?
you're right, it's slightly screwey, but most people who take this test won't pu strongly agree for contradictory statements. In other words, I wouldn't put "strongly agree" for both God didn't create the world and God did create the world.
I think that that might be where the test saves it self--in that people don't normally put the same answer for everything, and that if they do, there scores don't count (?).

Re: fake "dimensions"
If valid, it should at least do better than fifty--fifty, no?
How come it incorrectly described Iano's disposition towards humanity?
If so valid, that is?
how come modulus got a "moderate" score on religion when he answered contradictorily to the questions like
"god created the world"
"god does not exist"
If valid, the test should at least recognize the contradiction, and point out that the scores are invalid due to a series of questions being answered contradictorily. Or, it should say--"try again, and this time, answer for real you jackass. Or, stop wasting our time"
note: modulus is not a jackass.

Re: fake "dimensions"
Iano didn't--it failed to describe, as you said, to a tee
not that you said it described him to a tee, but used those words for yourself.
the english language be damned for all its confusion!
ABE: in fact, the originator of this post claimed the test could be used to predict who accepted evolution and who wouldn't. The test has nothing to do with that. It has to, badly at this, with political disposition.
After all, isn't science a conservative?

Re: fake "dimensions"
wow.
as simple as 2 + 2 =4, or maybe more like 3*4/7?
you must be an exception.
just my own opinion--we tend to be complicated--as a rule of them.

Re: fake "dimensions"
okay, I take that back.
you're a simple as 1.
dude . . .
maybe there is an unhealthy sense of detachment in you, but then, who am I to judge. I get more social interaction on this thread than in my life--ahh, the joys of being introverted.

you know, I find it funny that the tests define conservatives with the word
"tender"
makes me think of the goody-two-shoes liberals, the mushy kind. not conservatives.
And I'm not sure how a high score of radicalism equates liberalism. there are both liberals and conservatives that are radical--nazism and communism are the archetypes (stereotypes?)
this test IS wierd.
