@Thucy It's "the sharpest crayon on the floor."

Economic Left/Right: -5.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.56


So, Left, Libertarian.

And I loved "Multinational companies are unethically exploiting the plant genetic resources of developing countries."

Maybe I'm just unused to using plant as a adjective, but that question was crazy dumb.

some of the questions admit that they're just using buzz words to see how you respond... especially if it's a question you don't know much about...

But how many people will respond is to say 'what a load of crap' and stop taking the test. If I wasn't taking it for the glory of webdip (for want of a more honest phrase) then that's what I would have done. Methinks they skew their own test quite badly with such questions.

I just took the PC score again, and updated it to reflect my new mindset (8.12, 3.95)

"If I wasn't taking it for the glory of webdip (for want of a more honest phrase) then that's what I would have done. Methinks they skew their own test quite badly with such questions"

really? i never thought of it as skewed. looking at the FAQ they say people accuse them of being left/right biased, but the point is some questions are heavily biased, and extreme....

As for the 'glory of webdip', i like it, i admit i'm just interested in a snapshot of views here, which is hard to gauge from the posts people make.

Hm, not entirely what I expected. I think I came off as more conflicted economically than I meant to be because of some statements that I was indifferent to, and some statements that I didn't agree ideologically with, but still sort of "agreed" in a practical sense or vice versa. I'm not going to claim that the test is biased, just that I think they should have made more distinctions. (Eg. I liked that they followed up the question on punishment vs. rehabilitation with a question regarding the futility of rehabilitation in some cases).

"What effect does Astrology have on anything? I didnt see a separate corner for idiots on the graph "

Hahaha, my thoughts exactly!

i'm sure they coorelated something to do with accepting authority... hmm, actually i'm not sure what the astrology thing shows...

oh wait: "More significant for our purposes is whether or not the individual believes in mystical determinants of fate, hence the astrology proposition. There is a psychological linkage between determinism and authoritarianism . The astrology believer may hold very liberal social views in other areas, but this does not alter this more authoritarian aspect within his or her cluster of attitudes."

"What effect does Astrology have on anything? I didnt see a separate corner for idiots on the graph "

Agree with Astrology=Authoritarian
Disagree=Libertarian

I don't know why that is. Because I disagee with Astrology but am very Authoritarian, if you might have guessed from my user name.

I find this interesting. I consider myself a centrist and the group plot affirms this. However, relative to the other users here, I am more on the right/authoritarian than others.

Many of us are left and libertarian, a few are right wing and libertarian, one of us is fascist and a few of us are communist. Interesting.

And one of us is almost entirely neutral :D

Someone may disagree because the believe in civil society and that those who violate it should be hung (say) and other may believe that a civil society can only exist if it comes from people treating each other civilly and not seeking revenge.

That the circle of violence needs not continue...
