    You can be free but not equal. If I am free to only hire white people, that doesn't take freedom away from black people.

    Note that they never mentioned freedom. But they specifically mention equality first; above and beyond life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But then we all know they were hypocrites. They didn't really believe in equality. They should have added that this only applies to white people.

    Some pretty subjective and/or misleading questions there, but:

    ...and yet somehow I'm a nazi because I like Trump...

    And many questions ask if something is 'important'... does that mean those things should be in the pervue of govt or does it mean they have a strong influence in society? A lot of the question were simplified beyond accuracy.

    Agreed.

    If you select to display the 'printer' version, hold-touch the image, select share to copy to clipboard, you should be able to paste into 'insert photo' option on here.

    Only way it would work for me.

    Here is where Trump stands. He is in the authoritarian corner, also known as the neo-con corner. It is more or less the same spot they put Hitler.

    Meh. these things have limited value. Does not take a rocket surgeon to figure out how to answer questions to move your dot into a more moderate locale.

    The idea it to be honest about it, as opposed to trying to manipulate the results.

    Understood, but we are on a very politically charged message board, filled with people with strong views (right or left) who love nothing more than to present themselves as rational, moderate types.

    Maybe they are more moderate than you thought. Some would like to see everyone as extremest, hence the labeling "far-left" or "extreme-right" when there is a disagreement of any degree. For example, if someone agrees with universal health care, he/she would be labeled "far-left".

    [​IMG] I think some people are going with PC answers rather than their real feelings. Probably because deep down they know they are wrong.

    Oddly enough after 3 years of Trump on the next chart I'll be middle of the road. The pendulum has swung and now it swings back.

    I would like to see how they got these results. Im betting if Trump, Clinton, etc actually took the tests themselves the results would be substantially different.
