I got this in an email from John Birch, of Concealed Carry Inc. [url]www.concealcarry.org[/url].  I hope it provides you at least a small amount of entertainment.  [:)]

EDITED for typo/grammar.

3.62 as a political conservative and -1.44 as a Libertarian.
I had hoped to test higher as a libertarian.

Economic Left/Right: -1.25
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -5.38


Although in fairness, since I don't know how the score is calculated, the test is kind of meaningless.  Unless I know the psychometrics of the scale and the construct validity and convergent and divergent validity, it may not be a valid measure of the dimensions.  [;)]  Have I convinced anyone yet - or should I just go shoot myself in shame?

I took that test once, I got near max in terms of right, and near max in terms of authoritarian...

Ostensibly I dont give it much credence.

That test is freaking WRONG, man!

I scored a -2.00 (toward the left) and a -0.82 (toward the libertarian).


I'm amazed at how close to the center that is.

The damned thing's busted!


I guess my attempt to accentuate the results by choosing ONLY the 'strongly agree' and 'strongly disagree' boxes screwed up the test's logic, or something.

That, or my political and social beliefs are so screwed up that I don't know WHAT I believe, and that's just not so.


My total philosophy is the YOYO philosophy:

In a perfect world, You're On Your Own. YOYO.
