Social Attitude Test

[Smellincoffee]

Unlike many other political tests found on the Internet which base themselves on untested (and usually ideologically motivated) ideas, this inventory is adapted from Hans Eysenck's own political inventory which was developed after extensive empirical investigations in the 20th Century.

A friend shared her results on facebook today and the results seemed thoughtful enough that I answered the fifty questions.

My results:

"These scores indicate that you are a tender-minded moderate; this is the political profile one might associate with a protective parent. It appears that you are moderate towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committed capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a political centrist.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, an egalitarian with few strong opinions.

This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting."

Has anyone else tried this yet?

I don't see myself as a centrist at all, but oh well

I stopped after hitting this question: "Royalty and nobility encourage snobbishness in a country, and are not compatible with democracy." (question #8)

Two totally separate issues merged into one question when each on their own could have totally different answers. makes it a stupid question and invalidates the whole thing.

Yeah I didn't get the 'snobbishness' question either.

I just clicked the middle-of-the-road option. Snobbishness and aristocracy will exist regardless of royal titles.

Communist ? Nope, I'm pretty sure I'm not one of those. The rest seems pretty accurate.

You can call me "professor". Or just "sir"

Yes, I was flattered by the 'University professor' part as well. We sure are an educated bunch here at Civfanatics

I don't see how they say I'm libertarian when I said strongly agree to more education and welfare spending, more aid to foreign countries, and that inheritance incomes aren't fair.

I assume they put the former two in the 'Tenderness' category and forgot to use the results in calculating the socialism category.

Welcome in gang, libertarian brother.

This quiz pegs me as a capitalist libertarian; strange because the Political Compass consistently marks me down as authoritarian socialist. I think the PC result is closer to the truth of it.

Radical, dude.

Spot on. Especially me being professor material.

Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a political centrist.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a centrist with many strong opinions.

A bit surprised at that, I ticked all the socialist boxes and just not entirely negative to capitalism. I even answered a few about government spending from the perspective of the USA rather than my own country, pushing me even further towards socialism.

However, seeing as I'm not actually a socialist, I guess I can't complain.

Also what does question 9 "Men and women have the right to find out whether they are sexually suited before marriage." mean? I assume it's either premarital sex or forced/arranged marriages, but it seems a strange way to phrase it.
