Damned near around the middle for the most part.  Not a real surprise to me.

Man, was that a lot of questions! You didn't say it would be so long. But I stuck it out. It reminds me a bit of those "Meyers-Briggs" type tests that people take to find out what kind of job they'd be good for. The only one that gave me REAL pause was "privacy is more important than security". It took me a long time to figure if I agreed or disagreed with that. Anyway, among other things, the results said I was "sincere" and that I was "not wacky", so that's good.  :D

Oh--and it said I had a "fondness for the near past" (i.e. the 70s.). NO KIDDING!  ;D

That test also tells you whether you're merely authoritarian or totalitarian, if you're one of the two, but don't know which.

This was an interesting test. Looks like I am all over the place when looking at my results, as somewhat of a marginally left-leaning centrist, that didn't surprise me.

Interesting.  My results were as expected.  But I do have issues with this kind of "test".  Mostly because there is no room for nuance, but oh well

Good point, but that's the way with all standardized tests. I did find myself "qualifying" some things while taking the test, even though I was the only one there to hear it.

I know what you mean.  The thing is that standardized test work when the subject matter is factual but when it comes to opinion issues they fail to capture a good deal.  I guess the longer ones, like this, do manage to capture somewhat  of an accurate picture though

A few things I think are strange: the row that ends in "human supremacy" never seems to highlight anything for me, and child labor being to the left of ageist in that one row, with some of that category highlighted in the result I get, even though I always put in my test that there absolutely should be a minimum working age, and that children should never be allowed to work.

It also puts you in the "recent past" and "last century", just like mine did. See you in 1973!  ;D  ;D
