Yet Another Political Test?

[Angleter]

Oh, yes. Another political test. This one's been doing the rounds on the social networks the last day or two. It's from an odd looking website - God knows who initially dredged it up for its current moment in the limelight - and it claims that "unlike many other political tests found on the Internet which base themselves on untested (and usually ideologically motivated) ideas, this inventory is adapted from Hans Eysenck's own political inventory which was developed after extensive empirical investigations in the 20th Century." I honestly don't know how credible Eysenck is, but I suppose it's worth a try to see if it fits for people.

So, here it is: http://slackhalla.org/~demise/test/socialattitude.php

And here's what I got:

Radicalism 36.25
Socialism 6.25
Tenderness 65.625

These scores indicate that you are a tender-minded moderate conservative; this is the political profile one might associate with a sincere clergyman. It appears that you are trusting of religion, and have a compassionately humanistic 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 right-wing.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a devoted egalitarian with several strong opinions.

Seems about right, although I'm not, and I doubt I ever will be, a clergyman. Anyway, knock yourselves out, discuss whether it's accurate or not, whether Eysenck's a quack or not, and please, for the love of God, don't complain too much about the choice of terminology for the categories. And if I have the time, I may even try and create a chart of all our positions.

Well, this is certainly fascinating. I didn't exactly expect that high a score on socialism, but, oy vey.

[Thanatttynia]

'The sight of young men with long hair is unpleasant' was my favourite question; both thought-provoking and challenging to our social norms.

Definitely centrism.

Just look at mine.

I'm just 0.25 points until -10 to the left and still trying to figure out which switch makes me -10. A friend of mine did it, I can do it too!

I don't think I'm a centrist at all.
Just look at my political compass.

The political compass does tend to drag people towards the bottom-left quadrant, though. Granted, however, this test may well be wide of the mark the other way, and I honestly have no idea where it's put the 'centre', and why it's put it where it is.

[Quintium]

Radicalism 41.75

Some of the questions really could not work, though, because put two things together that I'd have opposite opinions on. Example:
"Jews and Muslims are as valuable citizens as any other group."
As for Jews, I'd say strongly agree, but as for Muslims, I'd say strongly disagree.

Unsympathetic and socialist? Odd. I'd say not so much of the former, to only a slight degree the latter. Also, I've several strong opinions.

One wonders how a Jew or a Muslim would answer that question. Especially in Israel or a Muslim-dominated country.
