Theres a fair bit of this that I'm at odds with.

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.
I should of given the context in which I answered.  My current studies (Computer science) largely require me being told how to do a task in order to learn it effectively, and I'm thinking more along those lines.  I'm also taking some philosophy papers but those ones are all Logic-based, and similar to maths/computing in nature.

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.
I picked Prof. X because he was the good guy and I'd rather support him?  But then I'm not a big X fan.

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).
I consider myself pro-environment and anti-nuclear.

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.
To clarify, you're saying friends and family matter more to conservatives and money matters more to liberals?

13) Someone you respect is upset.  The person is not asking for advice.  Do you give it anyway?  Yes / No1
-Yes = indicative of wanting to control others and conformity.  No = provide support, more democratic.
If I offer advice to someone without being asked for it, its because I want to help the person, sometimes people are too proud to ask.

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.
I've been labelled a conservative facist, so yeah you could say I have mixed feelings about it!

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.
I answered yes to this, but am listed as a pacifist?  Just curious

17) I _____ my government.  mostly trust / mostly do not Trust
-Not trust = more liberal, possibly paranoid.  Mostly trust can be many things.
This helps in explaining the liberal/conservative distinction.  My government has socialist/liberal tendancies, and has done a good job, hence why I mostly trust them.

Pug wrote:

Underscore "might not be pro-Environment".  If you choose bomb, it can be a logical conclusion (less death and destruction) and not involve environment at all.  If you choose Invade, pretty much you are saying nuclear fallout is worse than 10-15 million more lives lost.  That's a pretty big statement...

Pug wrote:

No, I'm saying most conservatives will side with their friends and family at the expense of money.  The link weakens as you move more left (unconformity to the norm set by family and friends), but one does not beget the other.

Exactly.  If you are the same as the resident population, you are following the norm = conservative.  I suspect following the norm in Texas is alien when compared to Christchurch.  That's probably why it's befuddling you.  "Liberal" = non-conformity.  (Although "Conservative" can mean extreme prejudice = non-conformity).  I never said this would be fair...

1)  Someone accidentally bumps into you, and doesn't say "excuse me".  Do you say anything?  Yes/No
I don't usually, because it was an 'accident'.

2)  What do you want?  $1000 tomorrow or $3000 next year?
Depending on the stock market, I'll have $3000 next year either way.

3)  People who are learning should be told exactly how to do the task.  Yes/No
If it helps them become competent at the task. It also depends on the task (eg. you tell someone how to shoot a rifle, you don't just let them figure it out.)

4)  There is a spelling error in a post.  Do you usually point it out?  Yes/No
If it is obscene, like 'Leet Speak'. I wouldn't normally because I don't spell that great... but again, they should have used spellchecker.

5)  I believe in God/Allah/Zeus/Thor whatever.  Yes/No/Agnostic
None, but I do believe the morals preached by religion still apply. (Isn't that what it's all really about?)

6)  Professor X or Magneto?
Magneto...

I'll finish the rest later.....

dude, communism and socialism are two completely different things.  It's like saying both Judaism and Christianity are the same b/c the both go by testaments.

I'm Socialist, but I wouldn't think for a second that I'm anyway near being a communist.

Nah, you can keep it up, it is interesting getting another perspective...to give you an idea, a lot of people have said Christchurch/South Island are quite similar to Portland/Oregon especially in terms of population and culture.

Actually, no...I'm saying something slightly different.  In my opinion, the willingness to leave friends or family shows a rationalization - money is more important than the social support structure a person has.  Therefore, the individual is more independent (aka self-serving) if Money is not left behind.  Conservatives tend to stick with societal norms, which means they will likely pick their support structure.

However, not answering the question with "Money" does not make you liberal.  Liberals will pick any answer.

A person is more likely to be conservative if they leave money behind, but you need to combined this with the other answers to figure it out.  There is only TWO questions which place you in one category: the Religion thing and whether you are paranoid (back to the door).
