Well, we know we have both liberals & conservatives on the boards, but what if there were some sort of standardized, objective way to determine just how liberal or conservative? Hmmm…
I’m medium blue (in a jelly way ). I suspect I’m not indigo because my girlfriend’s in law enforcement and showed me how to fire her gun.
How about you?
(Mods, if this must be in IMHO because it involves polling, please move it for me. I figure this is the very definition of mundane and pointless, however).
Ditto and ditto. And for the ones I did read (up to around 32 or so), unlike Malkavia, I would not have to feign NASCAR ignorance. I am markedly NASCAR ignorant.
I can’t get to the place to enter the answer for the last question, but with all the other answers, I’m fairly middle (but they put me on the edge of the red). I don’t buy that at all, since I’m pretty liberal, though not extreme.
The test would appear to be one of the most poorly designed computer test ever made.
I am “slightly red” because I can correctly identify:
-universities in the Big 12 conference
-the parent company of Sam’s Club
-the supposed author of the Book of Revelation
-the 4 cities that make up the Quad Cities
-the location of Door County
-the claim to infamy of Dr Laura Schlesinger
-the location of the UP
Isn’t the name of the ficitional president played by Martin Sheen JOSH Bartlett?
No, Jed (or Josiah) is President Bartlet’s name. Josh is a staffer.
It seems to be measuring for cultural knowledge, which translates into the political spectrum. I scored in the middle – white-red – although I’m a white-collar lefty in real life, just 'cause I knew (or guessed correctly) some blue-collar center-right stuff.
I’m in the middle, more towards the red than the blue. I agree that this test is crap, though. If you just asked me what the winged number 3 meant, I wouldn’t know. But give me four choices and I’ll say, “Oh, Dale Earnhardt died, so it must be him.” A lot of the answers were left blank.
I’m also a rosy pinkish red, mainly because I am well-versed about all manner of popular culture/arts and geography and walk my own dog. Also because I live within 30 miles of a Wal-Mart Supercenter (and know that they own Sam’s Club).
So apparently those who are solidly colored aren’t well-read or well-rounded people, and you can become more of a centrist by virtue of issues which rarely have anything to do with your political leanings, like living near a Wal-Mart, liking to exercise with your pet and using regional nomenclature and/or fashion morés.
