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.

98/400, and yes, there were many loaded questions i.e. "we should reduce the gap between rich and poor, even if it means the wealthy pay higher taxes".  I could agree with the first part, because i would like to see the poor brought UP, rather than the wealthy brought DOWN, but overall gave the statement a 1

I was also notified via pop-up that my results were being forwarding to the Administration building on Skinner's Island of Misfit Oxygen Theives, and that I shouldn't even bother trying to infiltrate a mole there.

Well, what happens if you've already got a mole there? And if their administration bureaucracy is anything like the State Department's, you should have no trouble at all in getting a jihadist to stuff a bomb down his pants.

Bureaucracies are the same everywhere - especially at Skin's Island.

I didn't see the point of arguing that point with whatever Lib'ral moonbat was behind the quiz.  Too much logic involved, and you and I both know how moonbats react to logic.  It's like using a squirt gun filled with holy water on a vampire.

87/400.

Lovely pointless little quiz, however.  I always like the Catch-22 style of question, which this "quiz" is chock-full of.  As an example of what I mean:  So, yes or no, have you stopped beating your wife?  Try either permissible answer - neither works if (a) you've never been married, or (b) you've never beaten your wife.  Also, there's no indication of what counts as an "indifferent" answer, which should be given no weight either way.

All in all, about what I would expect as the acme and zenith of Democrat/liberal attempts to "think."

I get plenty of those same kinds of questionnaires in the mail from the Republican Party.

The questions are couched in the same fashion as they are in this pointless little quiz. And lest ye think I'm defending this pile of shit, please note that I scored 41/400.

No, this type of questioning is not limited to shitbag liberals or progressives. There are plenty of similarly-posed leading questions at the other end of the political spectrum as well.
