Huh, this is funny...
Your classification is: Communist/Marxist/Socialist/Secular Humanist
Worldview Thinker
Your score is: -11 points of 170 possible, -6%
(WTF is a NEGATIVE percentage?)
I'd self-rate as being tolerant of socialism, and of course I'm a
secular humanist, but I think it's pretty damn hilarious that I got a
*negative* score. Must be all the times I used "Strongly disagree" when
they tried to assert literal biblical realities.
Here's one I got "right" according to them:
"God used the process of biological evolution to create the world as we
know it today."
My response was "Strongly disagree", which they hold as correct, but
the reason I disagree is of course that I don't believe any god made
the world, using evolution or any other process.
What's even funnier is they give an "answer key" at the end, complete
with descriptions of what the "correct" answer is. Correct according to
whom in these matters of opinion, I wonder? (Turns out the only correct
answers are prefixed by "Strongly", either dis- or agree. If you're a
moderate, you're *nearly* as wrong as if you disagree completely or
hold no opinion.)
