Sucked right in

From Slackhalla.org, a test of one’s values purporting to determine where your beliefs put you on a political scale.

Political Values

Radicalism 96.75
Socialism 62.5
Tenderness 59.375

“These scores indicate that you are a progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with an animal rights activist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

“Your attitudes towards economics appear socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a political centrist.

“To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, an idealist with many strong opinions.

“This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.

“Unlike many other political tests found on the Internet which base themselves on untested (and usually ideologically motivated) ideas, this inventory is adapted from Hans Eysenck‘s own political inventory which was developed after extensive empirical investigations in the 20th Century.”

Yeah, well, Herr Eysenck’s theories were pretty controversial when he was publishing them, and any test which results in me being similar to an animal rights activist seems questionable. I’m of the opinion that PETA’s gone way off the deep end, for example.

Oh well. 45 or 50 questions didn’t take much time.
