Fairly accurate.

Some of the questions were ridiculous so I answered in the neutral for many.
Still, the canned profile is pretty accurate. :p

WTF???

tl;dr i broke the test

This test reminds me of a horoscope or psychic reading ... general enough to fit whomever is taking the test to a strong enough degree that most people will see something of themselves in the results. I can see something of myself in everyone's results anyway.

Okay - is anyone watching this thing's numbers? I was left no word about what 15% of me is. TL is a little over a person and a half. Check everyone's numbers. Is ANYONE 100%?

Even for just an entertaining amusement like this, they sure have some bad math skills.

OK, a lot of questions were loaded or too general, so I played the center THERE. My results?

As for the few strong convictions? I have PLENTY! But they are more specific than this test allows. In short, a thinking person HERE is asked to overlook things, or just lie. So I put little value on the test, though its overall assessment of my base political bent is correct.

About Eysenck:

Hans Eysenck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Life[edit]

Eysenck was born in Berlin, Germany. His mother was Silesian-born film star Helga Molander, and his father, Eduard Anton Eysenck, was a nightclub entertainer who was once voted "handsomest man on the Baltic coast".[2] (pp. 8–11). Eysenck was brought up by his maternal grandmother (his grandmother was a fervent Lutheran; after her death in a concentration camp, Eysenck found out that she "apparently" was from a Jewish family).[2][3] (p. 80). An initial move to England in the 1930s became permanent because of his opposition to the Nazi party. "My hatred of Hitler and the Nazis, and all they stood for, was so overwhelming that no argument could counter it."(p. 40)[2] Because of his German citizenship, he was initially unable to gain employment, and was almost interned during the war.[4] He received his PhD in 1940 from University College, London (UCL) working in the Department of Psychology under the supervision of Professor Sir Cyril Burt, with whom he had a tumultuous professional relationship throughout his working life.[2] (pp. 118–119).

Eysenck was Professor of Psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College, London (a constituent college of the federal University of London), from 1955 to 1983. He was a major contributor to the modern scientific theory of personality and a brilliant teacher who helped found treatment for mental illnesses.[5][6] Eysenck also created and developed distinctive dimensional model of personality based on factor-analytic summaries, bravely attempting to anchor these summaries in biogenetic variation.[7] He was the founding editor of the journal Personality and Individual Differences, and authored about 80 books and more than 1600 journal articles.[8] His son Michael Eysenck is also a noted psychology professor. Hans Eysenck died of a brain tumour[9] in a London hospice in 1997.[10]


The Psychology of Politics[edit]

In this book, Eysenck suggests that political behavior may be analyzed in terms of two independent dimensions: the traditional left-right distinction, and how 'tenderminded' or 'toughminded' a person is. Eysenck suggests that the latter is a result of a person's introversion or extroversion respectively.

Colleagues criticized the research that formed the basis of this book, on a number of grounds, including the following.
Eysenck claims that his findings can be applied to the British middle class as a whole, but the people in his sample were far younger and better educated than the British middle class as a whole.
Supporters of different parties were recruited in different ways: Communists were recruited through party branches, fascists in an unspecified manner, and supporters of other parties by giving copies of the questionnaire to his students and telling them to apply it to friends and acquaintances.
Scores were obtained by applying the same weight to groups of different sizes. For example the responses of 250 middle-class supporters of the Liberal Party were given the same weight as those of 27 working-class Liberals.
Scores were rounded without explanation, in directions that supported Eysenck's theories.[13]

"Your test scores indicate that you are a tough-minded cultural centrist; this is the political profile one might associate with a jaded materialist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have an indifferent and uncompassionate attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a libertarian.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible realist with several strong convictions."

That's pretty accurate.

Not too far off...

I agree that this test is about as important as astrology or 'mind reading' where they say really obvious things like 'I am getting the message that you have a mother' - and 'I bet there is a man who has died'. The math is weird and they are just weird period.

I absolutely disagree with every single thing they said but see that trying to stay in the middle (as I am in real life - a conservative liberal lol - or liberal conservative) - doesn't work for this test that says I am a parental liberal (GASP!) but nearly equally % wise socialist.

I don't have a parental bone in my body - either by example or as being one -- unless someone is a plant, which is about the only thing I like to take care of.

AND my attitudes are definitely colored by the state of affairs in real life where things we may approve of ARE NOT WORKING very well on any level from capitalism to religion.

Bogus - file it in the round file.

p.s. i tripped on them asking what country of origin your last name is - I bet that is why they think i am socialist as 'we' came from there 3 generations ago - (Italy) - naturally we have not learned a-anything here in a-over a hundred years-a.

While it's not off the mark in most of what it says about me, I have never considered myself a Libertarian and don't know a single one that I would vote for.

Wait, am I doing this right?



Your Result

You are Professor X!
You are a very effective teacher, and you are very committed to those who learn from you. You put your all into everything you do, to some extent because you fear failure more than anything else. You are always seeking self-improvement, even in areas where there is nothing you can do to improve.

The test? - Ridiculous!

The comments? - Priceless!!!!!

I mean, if the chicken's cute...

^^Reminds me of Frank Donovan's current signature:

"My editor calls me a compulsive plagiarist (his words, not mine)."

The test seems skewed to favor Socialists. I didn't go enough in the favored direction, so I am a "jaded materialist".
