Where do you fit in this society? Take this test. I'm almost a 'centralist', close to the center axis in the blue sector. 1.62 and 1.59. Does that make me a 'RINO'?
The questions were very misleading in their construction.
Any experienced researcher worth their salt (that actually wanted to learn something) would laugh.
No doubt about it. The marijuana question was a DEAD giveaway...others centered around the arts and taxpayer funding, as well.
Design of a questionairre of this type is not for amateurs—and this one is based on the ideas of Adorno who helped create the idea that having conservative ideas was fascist, authoritarian, and psychologically unhealthy. His work was done in the early 50s along with other far left academics. Read some of the critiques offered by Ray. The questions are a giveaway—they are very similar to the theoretical foundations presented by Adorno and colleagues. Those foundations have caused a lot of damage as they are among the origins of the movement that took over academics and replaced good scientific ideas and practices with ideologically-driven scholarship. The quality of Adorno’s work has not stood up to rigorous scientific inquiry but that work still hangs over academia. We are living with the consequences of Adorno and colleagues’ works.
This questionnaire is not to be taken seriously.
when did you stop kicking your dog....is not the type of question I want to send much time tryng to answer.
Turns out I am an authoritarian statist left-winger ... call in the kitties!!!!

By the way the question s were asked it’s obvious that they’re a liberal organization.
I think it`s wrong from the standpoint of biology. We are gender dimorphic and as such, our biological norm, hell, our very genetics point to masculine or feminine, the XY or XX chromosomes. So the biological (as well as personal) norms are hot chicks for males (like me, oh yea!)
But as long as homos don`t initiate the aggression of trying to force their psycho-sexual perversions, in one way or another, on me or others, I can`t initiate the aggression of telling them to stop being consenting sick freaks.
Just don`t force us to take knowledge and or part in it. So as far as I`m concerned, I don`t know and don`t want to know! In other words, get a freaking room, sicko!
Now as far as adopting, would any responsible person allow a psychologically unstable person to adopt a vulnerable child? I mean REALLY? Then while we are at it, lets hand out free cyanide with every 100$ of groceries. That kind of stuff used to be common sense.
Economic Left/Right: 3.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.41
I felt like I was taking a Common Core test
Adorno, huh? Honestly, never heard of him. A little background for further research, please?
In general, I thought the questions were poorly framed and did not give a good mechanism to more accurately portray the actual attitude held by the person taking the test.
Some of the questions were just irritating and stupid.
5.88, and -.56
I think of myself as libertarian on many issues, but having done this test twice now several years apart, it shows that my authoritarian views on other issues balance the scales.
0.5 x 0.97 FWIW, and I do not think it is worth a helluva lot. Some strange questions that I suspect were designed to skew the results toward the left.
The question about giving up rights in the fight against terrorists (or whatever) was about as close as this thing came to that.
Oldy but a goody! ...
I'm here.
Here are a bunch of world leaders
Wow -
Look where they put Barry (They need an A-Hole quadrant for him.) Also, not a lot of Righty Libertarians - or what I would consider small 'c' conservative. No wonder the world is so f'ed up all during history.
Sorry ‘you’re’ not ‘your’ for the word Nazi’s like me.
Wow what leftist leading questions!
I was waiting for : The rich should eat two newborns for breakfast. Strongly agree....
