Of course, Facebook is a neutral source for unbiased selection of test subjects in the first place. "1% are more conservative" and "4% are more liberal" - I'm 99% conservative and 96% liberal? WTF? I can believe the "77% are more socialist" but I have my doubts about being authoritarian. Yeah, that's me - I'm all about regulating everything - which I made a point of avoiding in the questions.
I'll give 'em this - they are amazingly accurate in determining who I voted for and my political affiliations. I suspect I'm being raked over the coals because I feel like there are differences in races and sexes. I've never felt that there should be any advantages for one race or sex in our courts, for instance. But, if you are hiring someone for a basketball center, I don't think it's discriminatory to exclude vertically challenged couch potatoes. If you are Hooters - you don't need to hire fat, balding truck drivers as waitresses.
I guess I shouldn't feel bad - RobertaX scored even worse than me! Heh. Of course, it could be that scoring horribly on this test is a badge of honor for conservative types, particularly since they pigeonholed me as a liberal as well.

Okay, I scored as an Activist, Socialist with no party. 75% of respondents were more Conservative than me. I always thought I was a pretty centrist Democrat, but I was sure that the fact that I own a gun and live part-time in the country would tip me toward the Conservative side.
But I guess if we're looking to Facebook quizzes to define our politics, we're already exhibiting some sort of identity crisis.

I LOLed right out loud, I did. Any of the Facebook tests are purely for entertainment value - at least this one had fairly decent spelling and grammar.
I'm right down in that corner with ya, bud!
