64/400 Extremely conservative. Some of the questions were iffy, especially ones that tossed in more than one idea.

59/400 extremely conservative. Those questions were very slanted, I found a couple of times I was set to agree with the first half and then the second half was a push to give a 'progressive' answer.

41/400 - Extremely conservative.

The more stupid the question, the more severe my response.

Very, very little room for wimpy answers, i.e., between 3 and 7.

58/400.  There are some which aren't so black-and-white, but it sure wasn't hard to go one way or the other on most of them.

I tried to take the quiz the last time it was posted here and never finished.

My attention span has gotten worse since then... I don't think I made it past the fourth question this time.
