I know similar threads have been done before and don’t get too many responses, but I’ve been wanting to ask this for a long time, and now that posting is free again, what the heck. If this does poorly or sinks like a stone, at least I’m not paying for it :).
I also know that there are web sites that tell you this sort of thing, but I’ve never found them to be very useful. So, here’s the thread. I’ll share a bunch of my social and political beliefs and you respond how conservative you think I am on a scale of 0 to 10. 0 = Moderate, 5 = Conservative, 6 = Right wing extremest. I’m obviously American, but if you’re from another country, I’m also curious how I’d rate by your country’s standards. As for me, I’d rate myself a 3. Maybe a 3.5.
