A number of folks took this QUIZ

It evaluates folks on the Liberal-to-Conservative continuum



& the

Statist-to-Libertarian continuum



Clicking either image brings up a larger graph with more detail.

I then looked at what I'm calling the Deviancy Factor. How far someone is away from the group average. It's the sum of the absolute value of the two graph. A more precise method would use RMS but I checked and this is good enough. Here's the list -



I suppose you'll will have to start calling me Mr. Moderate.

Thus validating my suspicion that everyone perceives themselves as politically moderate...

How obtuse.

1. I doubt that the majority of those who took the quiz thought they were/are moderate, I did not.

2. The quantification is an attempt to step outside of our subjective bias.

I'm disappointed that you elected to unfairly disparage my opinion.

unfair

this is OD

folks speak their mind

I was underwhelmed by your comment, I said such

I did like your Fred Flintstone posting last week.

Well thanks! That particular posting represented the ragged edge of my intellectual capability.

Wow I've got my name on a graph. I feel important now.

Implicit but undetermined is the bias of the original survey from which these data derive.

In some thread I was prompted (challenged?) to find a quick, useful discriminator of political/social views.

Went to Google, this is first I found. I've got no agenda with it. It is a libertarian site so I suspect the questions are designed to make liberatrianism look good.

But we all walked in at an equal exposure to it took the 3 to 6 minutes, I assume were comfortable with the results & I just chewed on them a bit.

I think for a quick, painless process it helps reveal perspectives about the participants.

Really your just unhappy that your scores are so close to mine.

Hmmm. There are more scores in the '1.2' range.

Also, some drastic differances..I expect this is normal though.

Biased sampling produces biased results.

Gee. Everyone had every chance to input whatever they wanted.

I cannot think of a less biased examination.

Anyone who wanted could participate. The protocols are all done in plain site. Any other quiz/exam can/could be used.

Your analysis is erroneous.

It is biased in so many ways.

In your first sentence of your comment above you provide an excellent example of one.

Have to agree...I sat out the questions thread because I took a look and realized the questions were far too broad, too few, and also biased, for kicks I did it and came out libertarian and conservative...don't think that is me.

Suggest an alternative. I have no attachment to this one.

However I disagree with your analysis. I doubt you can find a 10 question exam that would be more informative over such a wide range.

It's easy to be a wise spectator.
