This test is interesting, but It seems to be desgined to draw out extremes on every position. I agree with two thumbs that is puts illegal and legal immigrants on the same page. I got something called "Post Modern" for some reason.

Most of these tests go with a 1-5 scale for the questions, instead of having to choose one extreme or another.

My best example is the environmental and regulation questions. I do see the need for regulations in both business and industry, however I am a fan of regulation by engineer/scientist, not regulation by lawyer.

Holy crap, that has got to be the biggest bunch of bullshit masquerading as a legitimate quiz that I have seen in quite some time.

Dear God! Please help stupid people be less stupid. TIA, CG.

 

[BoycottTheday]

Confirmed what i already know, the other 91% around me have a mental disorder.

 

[California Girl]

Most of the statements don't fit my personal views. Which confirms what I have always known. I am too smart to fit into any box.

Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves for your box-ability.

It's actually a lot better than the one I'd call "the biggest bunch of bullshit masquerading as a legitimate quiz". That prize goes to Advocates for Self Government , a quiz in which the questions are so fashioned to "prove" we're all libertarians.

 

[California Girl]

According to this bullshit, I am a Libertarian. Which I am not. Go figure. This is what happens when you insist that people fit into boxes instead of encouraging free individual independent thought.

From the few who have actually taken it, it seems to be fairly accurate. Granted, I found many questions where the choice was not easy because I didn't agree or disagree with either statement completely, but they force you to choose to get a better idea of which way you may lean. For a quick simple quiz, I don't think it does too bad of a job.
