SOCIAL ATTITUDE TEST

My results on the Social Attitude Test:
Political Values

Radicalism    94
Socialism    87.5
Tenderness    56.25

These scores indicate that you are a progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a university professor. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear communist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as left-wing.

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

This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.
I am a communist and skeptical about religion. Who knew? My thought is if you consider yourself a person of faith, which I do, you'd damn well better be skeptical about religion. I confess I thought I would score higher in tenderness.  Nearly everyone I know who took the test has the characteristics of a university professor.

Some questions were difficult to answer or not what I thought good questions, so I hit the middle button on those, which may have skewed my score.  The choices number five, from strongly disagree to strongly agree.

There you have it.

  1. Geeeeeez Grandmere --you are more of a radical and socialist than I!!! And, I guess I am not cut out to be a professor.... just an animal rights activist. Otherwise --we're twins!

    1. margaret, you out-scoured me in tenderness and concern for animal rights, although I am concerned about animal rights. You're the first of anyone I know not to have the characteristics of a university professor. Obviously, we are not all professors.

      We should all keep in mind what Prior Aelred said on Facebook, "Maybe (just maybe) the test is ... stupid ..."

  2. I came out like Margaret on radicalism; socialism is 62.5, tenderness 65.625.

    Meh. Numbers. What do numbers mean? Aside from what you want them to mean, that is.....

    And instead of a professor I should be an animal rights activist. Once again missing my true calling.....

    1. And you are a radical, edging toward commie professor, Rmj. Perhaps, Prior Aelred is right.

    I, too, hit the middle circle when the question appeared ambiguous to me (e.g., the one on gender roles! :-0)

  4. I got all you bleeding-heart wusses beat:

    Radicalism 61
    Socialism 25
    Tenderness 40.625


    These scores indicate that you are a moderate progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a liberated atheist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

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

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


    And yes, I like my roast beef RARE! GRRRR!

    1. Allen, I am shocked that you are not only left-wing, but a communist through and through. And so tender, too. :-)

  6. I've got a bit of a soft spot for Marx, myself (that's Terry Eagleton's fault!) - but I don't think I'll take the test!

    1. I chose the wrong friends somewhere along the way and made a turn toward socialism. Peers had more influence than parents. ;-)
