One of those quizzes that categorises you into one of a series of distinct groups. We had one posted here a while back and it was lousy, but I think this one is better: http://www.people-press.org/quiz/political-typology/

I am: 'Next Generation Left'

"Generally young, well-educated and financially comfortable, the Next Generation Left have very liberal attitudes on many issues, including homosexuality, abortion, the environment and foreign policy. While overall supportive of an activist government, most are wary of expanding the social safety net. Most also have relatively positive views of Wall Street’s impact on the economy. While most affiliate with the Democratic Party or lean Democratic, few consider themselves strong Democrats."

Ramro cha.

I can up Solid Liberal.

Generally affluent and highly educated, most Solid Liberals strongly support the social safety net and take very liberal positions on virtually all issues. Most say they always vote Democratic and are unflagging supporters of Barack Obama. Overall, Solid Liberals are very optimistic about the nation’s future and are the most likely to say that America’s success is linked to its ability to change, rather than its reliance on long-standing principles. On foreign policy, Solid Liberals overwhelmingly believe that good diplomacy – rather than military strength – is the best way to ensure peace

I did find that the way the questions were worded pinned me into different answers than I wanted to give. I would like to have been given the opportunity to tweak the question. I also do not see myself fitting the narrative so neatly as stated above. Some not all.

Look at 'IDEOLOGICAL PLACEMENT' in the analytics below the paragraph and it will tell you how well you fit within your particular group. It could be you were on the border with something else.

It's not personal. It's just war.

I did and posted it above. Like I said I am much more to the middle and could tell because I was mostly forced to chose between two answers I did not like, so I pick the more liberal ones.

Below the paragraph you posted were lots of graphs - a breakdown of how you compare to your group and the general public. That's what I was referring to.

Dude, I read the whole page. I saw all the graphs. I still did not like the options I had in answering the questions. They were way to narrow in scope.

Which means this test is bullshit.

What's the point? You've already identified the crippling and predictable shortcomings of an online exam such as this.

And chances are anyone who bothers to take the quiz either already know what they will be, or they're a misfit with the political-ideological spectrum in general. And in both cases, the test is less than informative.

Basically I refuse to enable propaganda that claims that the left-right spectrum is the only spectrum, or even the only spectrum that matters. I'm off those charts. Here be dragons.

What's more, I will not put such valuable and personal and potentially red-flag generating information out on the internet when I don't know who's asking, what they want, why they want it, and who else has access.

In short, no thanks.

Nonsense Byte. EVERYONE on this site is red flagged already thanks to key words used by ALL of us. Not taking a survey is your choice, but not taking it has no effect on your being on 'their' radar or not IMO.
Have you ever Googled your real name? I have mine. Privacy of any kind is ruttin' gone. Totally fucking vanished.
