The Social Attitude Test

[The Two Jerseys]

Progressivism 32.5
Socialism 6.25
Tenderness 34.375

Your test scores indicate that you are a tough-minded conservative; this is the political profile one might associate with a police officer. It appears that you are tolerant towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a paleoconservative.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible principled centrist with few strong convictions.

Strange, that's the second time today someone said I should be a cop...

Sounds reasonably accurate, I classify myself as a classical liberal.

[Mushet]

What country does your surname originate, what the fuck, how am I supposed to know for sure?

Is this supposed to be some crappy method of obatining demographic ethnicity because there are serious problems with that.

I was kinda wondering the same thing, I mean, that means they will tend to follow the father's rather than the mother's lineage...at best.

And there's colonized people who were given surnames from their colonizing country, Russel Means wasn't of English descent.

[Arkolon]

The test said that I am a libertarian. Nothing could be further from the truth, I despise libertarianism. This test seems biased.

Small-l libertarian, god damn it. Are you an authoritarian? No? Then chances are you're a small-l libertarian.

[Dracoria]

Progressivism 52.5
Socialism 18.75
Tenderness 50

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded cultural centrist; this is the political profile one might associate with a jaded materialist. It appears that you are tolerant towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a libertarian.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible radical egalitarian with few strong convictions.

I resent this. I have yet to be convicted on a single charge.

[Mushet]

Progressivism 95
Socialism 43.75
Tenderness 53.125

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a university professor. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a considerate principled egalitarian with few strong convictions.

This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.

Hardly a liberal though, my economic views are more in line with free market anti capitalism.

You're nowhere near my scores.

Which are?

[Pope Joan]

Progressivism 67.5
Socialism 93.75
Tenderness 65.625

Your test scores indicate that you are a tender-minded progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a university professor. It appears that you are tolerant towards religion, and have a compassionate and sympathetic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear communist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a humanist.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a kind-hearted realistic egalitarian with several strong convictions.

This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.

Is being tender minded the same thing as being soft headed?

I don't know what you mean by that but I'm certainly not a libertarian in any meaningful sense. Besides, I'm probably fairly authoritarian by your standards. I support a big democratic welfare state a la the Nordic model.

Being tender-minded probably means you need to stop pouring marinade in your ears.

[The Lithuanian-Surinamese Caliphate]

Wouldn't have thought a 0 for Socialism would be possible

And I haven't looked at every post, but you appear to be one of the only ones to have gotten a higher tenderness ranking than I did, so congratulations? Although I would have guessed your tenderness would be much lower

Gosh, I got 71.875 for tenderness.

Sorry, didn't see yours.

I find it odd that many people are scoring very near 100 (or even exactly 100, in HetRio's case) on the progressivism and socialism categories, but almost nobody is scoring above a 60 in tenderness.

It may have to do with this being NSG.

Progressiveness > Tenderness :3

Your attitudes towards economics appear communist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a humanist.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a cold-hearted radical egalitarian with a firmly established worldview.

This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.

Fuck yeah, I'm the commiest.

Nope, I got you beat with the 100s in socialism and progressives and slightly higher tenderness score.

And that we're all slightly detatched from reality.

Also, does anyone have any idea WTF a jaded materialist is, since the test said I was one?

Quite possibly

It appears to be an attempt to quantify empathy probably by counterposing emotional to purely logical choice (didn't one question pretty much ask just that?) and factoring in some of the other answers.

Dammit, I lost to you by valuing brains over heart at 100%. xD

Progressivism 72.5
Socialism 12.5
Tenderness 28.125

Your test scores indicate that you are a tough-minded progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are distrustful towards religion, and have an indifferent and uncompassionate attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a libertarian.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a uncompromising radical centrist with many strong convictions.

This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.

Predictable results.

I'm guessing they're going by standard definitions, in which case:

Jaded would be cynical, wearied, frequently stripped of idealism.
Materialist could either be someone concerned with material possessions, or who doesn't generally believe in metaphysical crap. Things exist as they exist and are described by scientific methods. Matter is matter. On a side note, this clashes with philosophical idealists.

I'm kind of a mix of everything, but i would never call myself a liberal. Compared to everyone i'm more of a conservative but this is mostly accurate.

I took this a while ago. Let me go search for it...

Still makes little sense on what a jaded materialist would be.

Someone so far removed from idealism by experience, philosophy and desire for material possessions that it almost makes them want to walk onto the set of one of those movies where the underdog sports team is about to somehow win the big game against the team with massive advantages, push the team captain's face in the mud and tell them this isn't how the real world works? I dunno. At any rate, it's kind of odd that most of the others list a career and, unless it's in teaching philosophy, there isn't much of a career in jaded materialism.

Someone who is concerned with realism and is quite cynical on their approach to get material possessions.
