welcome to the fray Lykaios.
Your scores:
Radicalism: 83 percent
Tenderness: 35 percent
Socialism: 90 percent
These scores indicate that you are a tough-minded radical; this is the political profile one might associate with a liberated atheist. It appears that you are cynical towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.
To round out the picture, your attitudes towards economics appear socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as left-wing.
Now lets talk about the inherent bias towards christianity in the survey, complete with the leading questions regarding judaism and the total lack of any other religious views being included, and questions on a lot of "hot-button" fundamentalists issues.
ie -- non-christian == atheist?
34) Conscientious objectors are traitors to their country, and should be treated accordingly.
As a concientious objector during the vietnam war I am personally insulted by this question. This also gratuitously paints all Amish people as traitors.
49) There is no harm in traveling occasionally without a ticket, if you can get away with it.
Seeing as you can travel to many IF NOT MOST places without being able to GET a ticket for it, to say nothing of being able to "get away with it" when NOT getting one -- and it's associated implications of wilfull wrongdoing -- this question makes no sense when you think about it.
60) The practical man is of more use to society than the thinker.
And of course you can't possibly be both a thinking person and a practical person. This certainly is the implication of many of these "questionable questions" imh(ysa)o.
Secondly, attitudes vary along a tough/tender axis, which appears to distinguish between realistic and pragmatic vs idealistic and trusting individuals.
realistic and pragmatic = tough?
idealistic and trusting = tender?
You can be 83% radical AND 90% socialist AND NOT idealistic? LOL
Something
wrong there eh?
... while tough-minded radicals are individualistic and secularist, supporting sexual freedom and believing in evolution. On the tender side, tender-minded conservatives were found to be religious and moralistic, supporting censorship and belief in God, ...
Excuse me? supporting individual freedom is not idealistic, it's pragmatic and realistic? Better tell the conservatives eh?
and the "and
believing in evolution" crock comes from where? It's science, folks, not some arcane religion.
Supporting censorship and imposing religious doctrines on others is
tender???

Or perhaps we should substitute "thinking" and "unthinking" for liberal and conservative in this "analysis" as it could be closer to what is really evaluated.
Or you'll have to put me down as too capable of rational thought to ever be a conservative, which is what this "survey" seems to say.
Garbage of very little real dimensional value, imh(ysa)o.
Enjoy.
