Okay - here's how the questions work: pretty much I reach down and pull this all out of my ass. If you disagree with me I will add another category - NAZI (just kiddin').
Before I start, you all realize this was a biased test. My beliefs are different from yours. I've tried to be consistent in application of the rationale behind the questions. Also, I reserve the right to "trump" the general rationale based additional comments you added beyond what I asked for. So, arguing "well I answered Yes on #2 and No on #7 and therefore should be a "X"" may get you some points, I may not change my mind.
I'll be happy to tell you why I have judged you - and I might be wrong either way.
So in general:
-If you posted your rationale for each question this may indicate you are more biased or rationale, depending on my interpretation.
-If you only answered the question, you are conforming to societal norms.
-If you responded strongly to one question, you likely got stereotyped immediately.
-If you were mixed on some of the questions (for example, a mix of pro-industry and pro-environment), you may be more objective.
Anyway the questions/rationale:
1) Someone accidentally bumps into you, and doesn't say "excuse me". Do you say anything? Yes/No
-If you say "no" you are not confrontational, more compromising, more diplomatic.
2) What do you want? $1000 tomorrow or $3000 next year
-$1000 this year is short term thinking, $3000 is long term thinking. This question is used in conjunction with others.
3) People who are learning should be told exactly how to do the task. Yes/No
-Yes = you want to tell people what to do. No = more democratic.
4) There is a spelling error in a post. Do you usually point it out? Yes/No
-Pointing out spelling errors is indicative of wanting to control others.
5) I believe in God/Allah/Zeus/Thor whatever. Yes/No/Agnostic
-Purely curiousity. However, Atheists are more liberal. Faith is more conservative. Reason: religion is more widespread, so not believing is not following the norm (not that there is a problem with that). Agnostic = rationalistic personality. Still need more to brand someone in this category, so it wasn't weighted heavily.
6) Professor X or Magneto?
-Ahh, this is my favorite question. Professor X = controlling thought. Magneto = controls "things". If you're an X fan, you basically want to tell people what to do. Magneto = combined with the $1000 in #2, and bomb in #8, I'm 95% you are not an environmentalist. If you answered "must be a geek thing" or something similar, you are lying because you have heard of them before and therefore know geeks love this stuff.
7) I am usually rushed. Yes/No
-Rushed, Yes or No? Pretty much a non-question - establishes personality trait of wanting to plan more, so it's kind of a distractor.
8) Drop atomic bomb on Hiroshima or Invade Japan? Bomb / Invade
-Bomb = might not be pro-Environment, Invade = probably pro-Environment, probably liberal (No Nuke stigma).
9) When I was a kid I dreamed of being a social worker (police, firefighter, army, etc)? Yes/No
-If you wanted to be a social worker, you conform more to society = less liberal = also more likely to be socialist or democratic.
10) The theory of three - you can't have all three, so which do you leave behind? Family / Friends / Money
-The only one important is not answering "Money". Conservatives will answer "Money" almost every time.
11) Pick your favorite one: Israel / Arabs / Neither
-Picking a side indicates you could be more biased (you have formed a defensible opinion), and could be more warlike. "Neither" indicates "don't care" or possibly pacifist tendencies. Also, I just wanted to know this question for myself.
12) Back when there was negative karma - on average, from 1 to 10, how many negs did you give daily?
-More negs = more likely to debate = more biased. A bunch of negs also can indicate your willingness to want to dominate someone else. Also, since it's published, I guess over half of you lied - double the amount and you probably have the correct number.
13) Someone you respect is upset. The person is not asking for advice. Do you give it anyway? Yes / No
-Yes = indicative of wanting to control others and conformity. No = provide support, more democratic.
14) Do you masturbate with Peanut butter? Yes / No / Ain't it great?
-I needed 20 questions. No one has a "Jiffy Stiffy". It's basically a gauge of maturity - if you made a joke here, then you might have mixed feelings about this quiz.
15) When in a restaurant, you prefer sitting facing the exit or door? Yes / No
-Pretty clear - "Yes" = paranoid.
16) Someone hits you on purpose. Hit back? Yes / No
-The natural reaction is to hit back. If #1 is "no" and this is a "no" then you are a pacifist. If #1 is yes, and this is a yes, you probably are pro-war.
17) I _____ my government. mostly trust / mostly do not Trust
-Not trust = more liberal, possibly paranoid. Mostly trust can be many things.
18) I believe people are self-serving most of the time. Yes / No.
-If no = more democratic, more objective, more socialistic (belief in common good, everyone does what is "right"). If yes = more liberal, more paranoid
19) People think I'm funny almost all the time. Yes / No.
-If yes = you aren't funny. If no = not funny. If you said "I don't care" = more stubborn (thats the answer I was looking for)
20) It's not urgent. Now or Later?
-Now = more conservative. Later = means nothing.
And lastly some free form answers (keep in mind I'm from Texas, so I may not know what you are talking about):
1) Leader you'd like to meet
2) Leader you admire
-Leader to meet / Admire: if its from two different camps (Bush and Iranian President) then you are more likely to debate = more biased.
All other questions are distractors, but added for you to add some additional info I can use for the above 20.
Published Tendencies/Results of test:
Okay, added answers that will LIKELY make you fall into each category. This is not absolute...you may need a few of the answers in these categories to qualify, or to provide additional info that influences - like answering "HELL NO" instead of "NO". If you hit all the categories, I probably can 75% sure you are that stereotype (or at least think that way sometimes).
Liberal:
#9 - No, #10 - not Money, #17 - not trust. Didn't want/like public service, choses money over friends & family, does not trust the gov't - usually liberal tendencies.
Conservative:
#5 - yes, #7 - yes, #10 - Money, #20 - Now. Faith, wanting to plan/feels pressure to get something done, prefer friends & family over Money, and doing it now - usually conservative.
Fascist:
Ok, this is a good one. Facist = ultimate authority. #1 - Yes, #3 - YES, #4 - Yes, #6 - Professor X, #12 - gave lots of neg karma, #13 - yes, #17 - do not trust, #18 - yes, #19 - yes. You tell people they aren't polite, you tell people exactly how to do stuff, you covet the power of controlling people's minds, you gave karma out to state your displeasure to control this forum, you want to run the gov't yourself, people are self-serving because they aren't doing what you want to them to do, and you think you are funny - You are a dictator.
Socialistic:
Tendency that the society "takes care of itself" or all for the "common good". #3 - no, #7 - Yes, #9 - yes, #13 - Yes, #17 - mostly trust. This is more of a judgement call by me. You believe people should learn on there own, you are rushed because of societal pressures to conform, you believe in public service, you tell your friend what to do, and you trust in the gov't. Having "public service" included increases your tendency to argue for "what is best for society" and "along for the ride" is what I'm defining Socialism as...
Democratic:
#3 - No, #12 - No, #13 - No, #16 - either, but NO for sure, #18 - No. People learn on their own, no neg karma = you have right to your opinion, you only give opinion if asked, you're diplomatic, and you trust other people.
Paranoid tendencies:
#15 - Yes. Caring where you sit is paranoid. Answering yes to self-serving, yes to Professor X, and don't trust the gov't indicates you better move out to the woods by yourself.
WTF? factor:
"TMI" is a common issue here. Overrationalization - this means you are likely to say "WTF?" quickly. For the others, you are just weird...
Primacord - Huge Penis as a personality trait - Neat. Spumantii - $1000/day bitch/face the window, duality in answering questions. Gunslinger - TMI. UnOriginalNuttah - Wife's nut allergy problem - Neat. oug - comments like "depends on inflation". Pubic - TMI. S3v3n - THOR!!!. Spearhead - Family comment. ts-pulsar - will masturbate if a dog is involved-Neat. Trollmeat - simple "yes" to faith would be fine. kr@ker - cooler spandex, since it's who'd you'd rather be, you'd rather be in spandex...GAY. Spark - TMI. EstebanRey - most answers were not "straight".
Pro-Industry:
#2 - $1000 now, #6 - Magneto, #8 - bomb, #10 - anything but Money. You'd rather take a quick gain, want control of the physical world, bombing is faster, and won't leave money behind.
Pro-Environment:
#3 - $3000 later, #8 - invade. Long term gain and no nukes.
God/Allah/Thor/Zeus / Agnostic / Atheist:
You answered, I wrote it down.
Pro-War:
#1 - Yes, #16 - Yes - you tell people off when they bump into you, and you hit back. Also, #11 - picking a side.
Pacifist:
#1 - No, #16 - No - you forgive people and you talk before violence. Also, #11 Neither - not picking a side.
Debates More Objectively (not stubborn):
You have a mix of traits, you are agnostic, choosing $3000, little negative karma, democratic
Debates More Biased (somewhat stubborn):
extreme comments, lots of negative karma, you are atheist/believer, choose arabs/israelis, liberal or conservative, more of the Facist-type answers from above
