I just took it. 85% conservative it says. But the fact is I am more like 85% liberal.

Also, it's a little bit warped because some of the questions would evoke a different emotion than disgust, but you are required to categorize it as a disgust level.

Not poking at you as a person sincerely.

By whose standard/spectrum? I'm fairly liberal by US standards but fairly conservative by a lot of others. I have generally found unidimensional measures of political leanings really unuseful because of their summativeness.

...Think I can see what you mean.

The hell kind of question is that? Of course I'd rather eat a piece of fruit!

According to this I'm only 59% conservative which seems on the low side. Maybe today's standards are different from when this test was created.

I'm 49-51 on that test, but that is not how my friends would describe me (US).

I do like to think I approach politics more intellectually than emotionally.

We're you 49/51 before or after you read about it in this thread?

Presumably both.

Are you seriously questioning potentially biasing factors affecting an internet quiz?
