I bet you even volunteered to write the test.
Why not?
It’s not Pass/Fail, it’s just choose 1 over the other.
Here’s an example.
Score zero to 5. Zero = I strongly agree, 1= I mostly agree. 3= I can’t say/don’t know/won’t say. 4= I mostly disagree. 5 = I strongly disagree.
The 2nd score would be how much emphasis you put on this issue. All the emphases would add up to 100%. In the example below they don’t add up to 100 because I would expect many more items to be on the list. So a 1.3 indicates 1= mostly agree, and 3% emphasis.
So whenever JimRob updates the litmus indicator, we update our answers and all of us know if we’re dealing with a heavy duty libertarian or a kneepad RINO or whatever.

Basically, you just let other Freepers know where you stand and how that interacts with your other beliefs. So if we find someone supporting Gay Rights on a Prop 8 thread and all of their emphasis is in the Financial Sectors of the litmus indicator, we have an idea that maybe they’re just a RINO. The only time I’ve run across you is on crevo threads. It does not surprise me that you find such a litmus indicator objectionable.
