... so I decided to take the political quiz.
As I expected, the questions are so badly framed and worded that the results are not very meaningful. For the record, I scored as 75% socially permissive and 28% economically permissive, which they rate as a "Democrat". But the real reason that I felt it was worth saying anything on the subject is that, while the questions are terrible for a survey where your only choices are Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Agree, and Strongly Agree, many of them are actually interesting topics of discussion, and I'm going to pull out some of the questions and write paragraphs giving my real answers. I encourage the other people who took or are considering taking the quiz to do the same thing.
