My score was 352, what's yours?
Edited on Wed Sep-15-10 09:49 PM by HarveyDarkey
Should have been higher, but I misread a couple of questions (it doesn't allow you to change your response).
On edit: response to my first response, oversight on my part.

Here's my results:
107/400 very conservative average score for Americans is 209.5
Not one of the Damn Dummies was even close to the average. However since this is from a liberal website, I doubt the validity of the 209 average.
-
114, but some of the questions were worded very poorly. Conservative Republicans apparently score 160 on average, so I don't know what that makes me :uhsure:
-
122/400
The Conservative Hammer.
-
OMG! :lmao: this is my score:
Your ideological score is
66/400
This makes you extremely
conservative. The average score for
Americans is 209.5
-
42/400. You were saying about "hammers" you liberal panty waist?
Bitchslap for being such a poofter wannabe statist socialist, dutch.
-
121/400.
I must have been too generous in the food stamps answer. :lmao:
Actually I was selecting 2's and 9's and not 1's and 10's. I gave the benefit of doubt to the truly poor among us.
-
Oh well hell.....
Your ideological score is
93/400
This makes you extremely
conservative. The average score for
Americans is 209.5
And I consider myself more of a libertarian than most on this board. WTF????

I gave some 1's and 9's out, but there were just some questions that I felt strongly about that I had to give a 0 or a 10 out, and a few questions I gave a 2 and 3 out, I think I had a 5 for 1 answer.

Yeah, the one I thought was incredibly misleading was the one about immigrants. I think LEGAL immigrants are an asset to the country (especially since they're willing to work hard to achieve the American dream). ILLEGAL aliens (they aren't immigrants) are a drain.

I believe that was question #20. There was no good way to answer that question the way it was worded.

Yep, that was one I had issues with. Like most progressives, the quiz had issues with scale and individual situations. I was more generous on some questions because, for example, I don't necessarily mind the government helping the truly destitute, but the way the question was worded, they either helped all the "poor" or none.

I agreed that the government is doing too much to promote religion...the religion it's promoting, of course, is manmade global warming.
Some of those questions were a bit obtuse.

91/400 ----- guess I need to go back to Conservative school to get the score lower :hammer:

I scored an 87.

Were those questions right out of the communist manifesto or what?
I think it could have been boiled down to three questions.
1. Do you think the USA is pure evil?
2. Do you think Whitey is pure evil?
3. Should we take all of the evil USA's and whitey's money and give to people that have not earned it?
-
98/400. :banghead:
Some of those questions were so poorly phrased. You could tell it was written from a Lib/DUmmy perspective.

It seem that I'm one of the more liberal members here, with a score of 121. That being the case, with my sense of entitlement, I expect that each of you send me ten dollars on a weekly basis. No fair donating to a charity in my name. Send the money to me and I'll take of charity. You can trust me on this.
-
BUUUUUULL-FUUUUCKING-SHIIIIT!!!
There isn't a single conservative, Republican, Christian, AMERICAN in the world that is against GIVING food stamps or *ANY* social help to those in need!!!111 We shellfishly do this every day!
What we *ARE* against is a DUmmy liberal standard of a self-anointed lifestyle of society parasitic suckling off the system just because you are black or your back hurts when you get out of your whore's bed in the morning AND, your lazy-assed self entitlement mindset.

What if we just use a fake ID with your name and picture on it to buy beer with that money? (Pot doesn't really appeal to me, but I could go for beer and Cheetos.) And then sent you a photocopy of our hands passing that money on to the convenience store clerk... :-)

8. Some of the questions are too ambiguous
Example:
"The primary responsibility of corporations is to produce profits and returns for their shareholders, not to improve society"
I actually 'Strongly Agree' with this statement, but with a qualifier. As the CEO of a company (and arguably any employee) it is your JOB to make the company money. Companies aren't inherently evil, they exist to make money.
However; it's the government's job to regulate them and to protect the American consumer, the American worker and the American economy. There are many questions that force you to choose between government and private industry. In my view they go hand and hand.

Just one thought. The primitives keep saying how they represent America. But they avergaed ~350 and the average American according to this survey is 209. They don't seem to have picked up on that.

Only 20% of Americans subscribe to their ideology, 40% conservative, 35% moderate and IMO leaning towards conservatism.

The other religion our current government is promoting is Islam. NASA outreach to the Muslim world my ass. :whatever:
I scored 142/400. Does this make me one of the board's progressives? :evillaugh:

I actually expected a lower (higher?) score. That's what I get for trying to be a nice guy. Some of those questions were not only NO but HELL, NO.

I noticed that the "Back" and "Next" buttons were right above the "0" and "10", respectively.

My wife took it, and she scored 156 out of 400, IIRC.
Oh well! Our daughter will be a lot closer to my score. :-)
