I did this too. Click the celebrity button. I hit Reagan on the head. The disturbing thing is that they call Kerry a centrist.

Ummm, there's a reason that I didn't post the celebrity one. It was uh, disturbing.

Looks like you would be in the vicinity of Bin Laden, Vader and the Pope's arm pit.

Interesting.... I scored as a hard-core capitalist, but oddly, by the test, as socially permissive. I'd have said not that I'm permissive, but that as a strict constructionist, I cannot find in the Constitution any provision for the FedGov to participate in social engineering.

I kind of wondered about this test. Some of them are very accurate, but I'm thinking this one is a bit off. Although I will empowered being a Totalitarian. LOL

Some of the questions seemed pretty strange. And they shift in perspective, from what you believe prevails to what you believe should prevail. Moreover, some issues that are, in my view, heavily dependent on context, are queried context-free, and caused me to respond far differently than I might have in context.

I'd say it's safe to assume that the survey was constructed without benefit of input from anyone with training in framing such questions. But hey, when did ignorance prevent anyone from declaring absolutes?

Gosh, you don't suppose the authors might themselves have a bias, do you?

Some perspective: the site also offers "The Slut Test" and "The Genghis Khan Genetic Fitness Test"...

Whatever else may be true, I doubt they would claim any scientific credibility. And if they did, we could but laugh....

Genghis Khan. Now that sounds like fun.
