Lol, well dr345, this would certainly explain why we see that original graph of news outlets quite differently. From your perspective CNN is right of center with their content. That would actually make you a conservative in parts of Europe lol. |

This one put me a bit further left and less libertarian but I think it presented a lot of false choices with no neutrals or weighting or shades of gray. |

Also the second test had similarly vague, or one sided questions. 1. Laws should restrict abortion in all or most cases I answered disagree which shoves me left when I feel restrictions should be placed, I am opposed to abortion but it's not my place to decide for others. 8. School science classes should teach intelligent design. I disagreed strongly which pushes me left but believe in God and have no problem with people praying at school functions. 11. Patriotism is an overrated quality. Again agree to something that pushes me left. I have no problem with patriotism. I fly the flag, enjoy the ceremonies can sing the National anthem...just the in your face Murica crap is a bit too much. 14. If our leader meets with our enemies, it makes us appear weak. Okay, why is this here...You are liberal if you try diplomacy before bombing someone on and on... |

I did not say that you thought it was wrong. I said the whole thing needed to shift left a little. You responded to that. To your response I said we'll, it all depends on where your own personal bias is. I knew before hand where I fall on most of these tests and I felt that you were to my left a good bit. Based on these results that was an accurate statement. It is in no way a judgment of you in any way. It is simply something that shows roughly where we all stand based on answers to identical questions. Also, to you comments about the questions on the second test. That test also allows you to say if the subject of each question is important to you. So on the ones where you agreed but don't really care you could have adjusted that scale on the question to that it did not count as much. Edited by Demagogue, Jan 26 2017, 01:31 AM.

I agree a lot less with this chart than the previous one. Edited by Two a.m., Jan 27 2017, 12:18 AM.

Actually if you relabel the x-axis "nonsense" and the y "hysteria" it's about right. |
