How fascist are you? Take the fascism quiz

Fascism quiz here.

I am a “liberal airhead” (2.1, thankfully), and only barely escaped being a “whining rotter”.

But what about you?

Unlike most of there quizzes, there is an actual explanation of the questions at the end, which is nice.

“Requires Netscape Navigator version 2.0 or higher” :wink:

Pi! What are the odds?

Why didn’t it tell me that it only worked in IE before I answered all of the stupid questions?

I’m a liberal airhead.

Whining Ritter, but just. 1.96

2.6666666666666…

3.4 - disciplined but tolerant; a true American.

Hah! Knew it all along.

We need a single Internet browser standard! We must have strong leadership to impose ORDER upon this chaotic “Internet” with all of these deviant, anti-social, “anything goes” browsers!

It worked fine for me using Firefox. Another “liberal airhead”, 2.3 I think it was.

I am also a liberal airhead.

Take THAT, pit thread about me!

Worked fine for me, using Safari on a Mac.

I’m mid-level liberal airhead. 2.466666666666667

You’re surprisingly upbeat for somebody who just got a high score on a test measuring your fascism.

And the test doesn’t say disciplined or tolerant. It just says you’re an average American by the standards that existed in 1950. Many would dispute that was an era noted for tolerance.

My score is 2.13333333, which makes me a fellow liberal airhead.

Liberal Airhead also.
Heck this is the SDMB which generally is somewhat liberal.

Proud to be a Liberal Airhead, with a score of 2.3793xxx.

Question 29 is a bit odd:

Well, yeah. Have you visited the internet lately? I’m pretty sure that the Romans didn’t have panda porn (although I’d be happy to be corrected on that). I’m mostly all for that, though, but I suspect that an “agree” somehow tilts me toward fascist.

BTW, my score is 1.833 (…), “you’re a whining rotter”. I’m not even sure what that is, but it sounds about right to me. Man, you guys are all a bunch of squares. :stuck_out_tongue:

Whining rotter, if barely. And somebody should maybe tell Habermas that critical theory has been ‘thoroughly discredited’…

I was rather more flummoxed by question 22, “Wars and social troubles may someday be ended by an earthquake or flood that will destroy the whole world.”

It seems to simply be true—I mean, anything that destroys the whole world will end wars and social troubles. Apparently, the question supposedly falls under “Superstition and Stereotypy: The belief in mystical determinants of the individual’s fate; the disposition to think in rigid categories.” I’m not sure I see how that works.

I only somewhat agreed because I don’t believe floods or earthquakes of sufficient magnitude are possible, barring something like a meteor impact, but how that influences the assessment of my political leanings is something of a mystery to me.

3.2333333333333334—“You are disciplined but tolerant; a true American.”

Huh. That’s the nicest thing a machine’s said to me all month.

I guess that’s the result when “wholeheartedly supports gay rights” and “wholeheartedly supports public executions” meet in the same brain. :smiley:

Keep in mind this test was written in 1950. This was an era before even Marilyn Monroe, Bill Haley, and Playboy. This was a society that thought Forever Amber was the height of scandalous.
