Yet another test

Your PERSONAL issues Score is 70%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 20%.
but i think the location of the center is very US-centric.
huh?
It's a US-centric world, not a Fraco-centric world. Zut alors.
...hmmmm. Another useful study (eg., telling us what we already know about ourselves). Scores below:
Your PERSONAL issues Score is 80%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 80%.
I'm a full-on libertarian. Not that that's new information to anyone.

i guess so: this center is only the center in the us.
i am puzzled that we all agree on "personal" issues some.
The scores on these tests depend very much on the way the questions are asked. I'm sure AA has a technical term for this kind of bias, yes?
We all tend to want government out of our personal lives. The Right and Left want specific types of government out of their lives, a specific this test did not gauge. That might be one reason, Pepe.
specific types of government
that is to say, mft ?
Both the Political Right and Left want the part of gov't out of their lives that they deem as a threat to their worldview. The subgroups in the political parties, however, often contradict one another (but who isn't a walking contradiction). For example, I've had friends on the Christian Right tell me they really enjoyed the writings of U of Chicago's school of economics titan Milton Friedman... then I tell them he was mostly an agnostic (perhaps even an athiest, but I don't think he cared enough about metaphysics to launch a Richard Dawkins type of attack). On the Political Left, the eco-freaks want massive government intervention to save all of us from the pending Global Warming armegeddon (they sound an awful lot like Christian Revelationists). Then the ACLU-ists who purport to defend civil liberties (representing al queda to American Nazi parties). I wonder if the ACLU is going to begin fighting the gov't if they start meddling too much in individual lives with the entire un-checked Global Warming movement going on these days. Somewhere in all of this muddle we see ourselves as wanting the gov't out of our lives.
Your PERSONAL issues Score is 70%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 50%.
Northwest corner of Centrist, on the diagonal between Libertarian and Leftist
Whatever that means
Unfortunately , AI, the only technical term I ever heard for bias arising from the way questions are worded is "bias due to wording". I'm sure there is one, I just never heard it being used.....how about Lexi-Con ?
AA's worldview is already shifting only after being in Canukistan for a matter of months... The ice-grip tightens. (I'm thinking of the Darth Vader throat pinch move in Star Wars)
yeh - by this measure aa & i are almost birds of a feather...
keep any thoughts of flocking together on your side of the Continental Divide, Pepinho
This is worrisome, AA. Did Canuckia turn you into a bleeding heart sandalista? Tell me it ain't so! Methinks it's the aftershocks of that brutish Vancouver cop who gave you a ticket for not transferring fast enough in the subway. Almost enough to make anyone turn into an Alan Alda type!
Relax, AI, these past few months have left me like the last of The 300. Bloodied, Doomed, Yet Stubborn. Even as the long lines of the Canuckian Horde advance again.
Frankly, to put it pithily, the methodology of the test sucked.
I am no more a confrere of Pepe than Inigo Montoya was of the Five Fingered Man
hallelujah.
...now Pepe is sounding religious. What the hell is going on around here?
