Blue or Red?? Take the test

[shiny]

Hey, I agree that the test is not rocket science, but it is all in good fun. Haven't you (SG) ever taken a test out of a magazine to see how compatable you are with your mate or something like that?

 

[cute fuzzy bunny]

Truth be known, I'm really 16 and TH is 10, CT is 15, unclemick is 83, and JG, well, he's ageless.

Ten and a HALF!

And unclemick is a 14 year old girl from missoula.

JG is female and 27. Law clerk at a very liberal NYC firm.

Be careful what you wish for - back in the open primary days of yore - David Duke won the Republican primary - a lot in the general crossed and voted for Edwin Edwards - currently a resident of the Federal Pen.

The old saw about FDR's (Franklin Delano) retort when after asking about a Kansas City pol - after being told the guy was a crook - 'I know that - I want to know whether he's our crook or their crook.'

It only takes one hand to vote - the other can be used to hold your nose when appropriate.

Still a Dem - after all these years.

Hey, I agree that the test is not rocket science, but it is all in good fun. . .

So was my test.  But the analysis from mine is probably more accurate than the original.   

Haven't you (SG) ever taken a test out of a magazine to see how compatable you are with your mate or something like that?

  Well . . . no.  I have seen those kinds of tests and sometimes started reading them.  But usually I get about 1 or 2 questions in and conclude that the questions are vague, irrelevant, or written in a way to bias your answer, and the answers are too simplistic to capture my views and patterns of thinking.  I guess one of the things that indicates how compatible I am with my mate is that she has even less patience in this type of test than I do.

SG, as with most thing you say, I agree!

I think those tests are a kind of fun way to pass the time (at the dentist, etc.) though.

I'm still surprised that I rated so low, I put that I didn't trust the gov't to take care of problems and I was against porn, that should have earned some points. Oh Well, Ted Kennedy and I are probably the only ones who chose to tax ourselves.

Hmmm... not the greatest test, but whatever:

I cringed at some of the answers I was forced to give, but in the end I like where I ended up:  with a score of 18, right between Colin and Bill.

Guess that makes me the most liberal of all of ya -- a 6.

Great how this group is tolerant of lots of differening opionions though.

I think we should all find a small town in central California and all move there. This board is the type of diverse pool of thought and background I want my kids around.

31. I hope, one day, to reach 32.

 

[Lazarus]

I won't be joining the group in California Laurance. Now if your talking central Texas maybe.

Sorry Lazarus. We're full.

I'm a 16 and since I am an admitted bleeding heart liberal, that kinda sets more resolution on the axis for those below 16. (I definitely needed an option of OTHER for some of these questions.)

 

[laurence]

Sorry Lazarus. We're full.

REW

New Mexico then? Northern Arizona?

 

[Danny]

I'm a 14, but feel more like a 5 lately.

I was expecting "Are you still beating your spouse?" to be one of the questions...

Would that make you a liberal or a conservative??

 

[REWahoo]

Yes.

 

[Dreamer]

I scored a 14. Seems like there are quite a few 14s.

I started out my teens and 20s as a liberal, then became pretty conservative in my 30s and 40s. Looks like I am headed back to being more liberal in my 50s!

Probably atypical, but I've been stuck in place (politically) for 20 years.
Pretty sure I'm more radical than ever now.

I scored 15. The dual axis test (political compass) is a lot better. On that one I scored -1.1/-3.8 -- middle of the road economics, social libertarian.

Agreed. It's been a couple of years since I've seen that test. Anyone have the time to go searching for a link to it, and then post it here? It would sure be on-topic...
