i was 75% liberal and 35% conservative :)
75%?... I had you pegged for no more than 65%!... :)
Kidding aside, isn't it funny how even with our our hardened views on many things we still need the re-affirmation of little quizzes like this?... How is my birth area of Upstate New York doing?
This is exactly the kind of thing that forces me to write long tedious blog posts.
What is the methodology being applied here? There are no specific statements from avowed liberals or conservatives on the issues provided, and the answer options vary.
Each Q/A stands on it's own.
Example, Q 13:
"The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholdersL False/True"
How is delivering a profit to shareholders a "social responsibility"? It is a finiancial and legal responsibility. The question makes no sense.
How about "do corporations have any social responsbility?' or "Should corporations market products that they know will harm millions of consumers but that will benefit thousands of investors?"
Or " Should corporations always place ethics above profit?"
Or "should corporations only manufacture products or provide services that only have good consequences?"
IMHOP don't rely on this to define your political and social views.
5th Estate:
I laughed plenty when i read your comment. I fully agree that to call this a scientific questionaire is to give the word "scientific" a bad moniker. I've taken a few dozen of these so-called quizes and although I am alwyas in the "ballpark", there are too many variables of reader interpretation that does not lend itself to consistency.
As always, your opinion is valuable.
