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.
