Remember that? I'd be curious to see where everyone scores... again.

(unless someone know of the old thread and just wants to bump it)

A "neutral" option would have been nice, I agree

This.

Some questions needed at least a frame of reference, or additional info, I thought.

I think it is just expecting you to make the conservative assumption over the liberal one, or vice versa, and seeing how many questions you do that on to help get your final score. It is easy to look at most of these questions and begin to over analyze them, but if you try not to do that, the test will be more accurate based on the assumptions you make. If you make the conservative assumption 9 times out of 10, even if you aren't 100% sure of the context of the question, that helps to give the exam algorithm a score for you. Woody

Okay, I got ya on that. But on several questions, to me, it depends on the taker's point of reference

as to how to answer it. Just depends on how you read the question. Sometimes the answer would be one way,

and sometimes it would be the other. "None of the above" would have been an interesting addition.

I'm too analytical. Made me a great programmer/analyst though. And I learned many years ago, to refrain

from analyzing stuff in movies. My Wife convinced me to stop. LOL

I think that's the point of the questions, not 'in practical terms, what is the most realistic solution' but 'in a perfect world, what would you prefer?'

Yep, that's how I tried to answer most of them.

actually I didn't have a problem with the punishment or rehabilitation question. As I see it in a perfectly ideological sense, and assuming there's even a good chance that it could be accomplished, I would always prefer to make a bad guy a good guy. Unfortunately I don't think that can be done, still if it could wouldn't that be the ideal?

I agree that it's not exactly a clinical study in to your inner psyche, but did you really expect it to be? Personally, the ones I found most absurd were the final ones about sex/religion, no real grey area there for me. The others would require more context to answer properly.

I can't stand this test. Most of the questions are subject to interpretation.

I end up analyzing each one. IE, "punishment is more important than rehabilitation of criminals"

What crimes are we talking? Serial killer/violent pedofile?

Come on, man. This thread was started by Woody, who hates him generalizations.

Stupid test.

sooo typical of a libtard survey, agreeing with a statement like this is intellectually honest, but skewed to the underlying socialist agenda!

Funny how they (liberals) always and NEVER have a penchant for conflict and / or disagreement from a political standpoint......

I took this survey and ended up middle lower right right on the crosshairs. compassionate conservative in my book......
