6 pages of loaded questions. POWDERMAN.

The questions are total BS and are worded to get the result they want giving you no real options. Just what I'd expect from a bleedling heart liberal like you.

Taken it many times. Depending on my mood and who has ticked me off that day I'm anywhere from one click left of center to three click right and two to three clicks down.

I'll agree, a lot of loaded questions and very limited choice of responses.

According to the test, I have the same political compass as Nelson Mandela. If true,I'll take it. He was a great leader. Our government can learn alot from how Meldela served his country.

The reign of Nelson Mandela began the destruction of the jewel of the African Continent.
That was the country of South Africa.
In the first year under Nelson Mandela, with unfettered corruption instituted in every facet of South African society and government. The jewels drop to third world status would be matched only by the fall of the western Jewel, the USA under the clown obama.
lenin sat in prison, hitler sat in prison and Nelson Mandela sat in prison. That made neither a great leader.
With the same perspective a black stalin would have been hero worshiped.

My daughter brought it home from school. They used in an AP government class.
Can't help but believe that some of you are embarassed/surprised/ashamed about your results.

I took it just to see how the questions were worded. Like all these "tests" your responses are limited by their skewed answers. I was surprised to find myself almost dead center on the graph. It doesn't mean a thing when you are limited in how you can answer.

Nelson Mandela as an example of a great leader. That has to be the biggest joke I've heard this year.

Aren't yes or no answers used in the court room?

I'm around that range most of the time myself. I have a feeling that most people will be within 3 or 4 stadia marks of center.

Yep, which is exactly why there is a need for cross examination, re-direct examination and re-cross examination.

No, but if Matt's ego about being more RIGHT than me doesn't change I might be more inclined to spousal abuse.

I'm out of here before I get in trouble y'all have fun with this one...

How is it slanted? The questions are quite direct and there are no rhetorical questions like the very first question in the original quiz-which I did not take by the way simply because of the crapola on the first question.

What would you expect from the county's website? I especially enjoyed the little part bragging on him embracing Muammar Gadaffi and Yasser Arafat.
