Re: [Seriously off-topic]] Political alignment of the Perl community

That test takes 6 pages of questions. Here's one that just takes one page, and 10 questions: World's Smallest Political Quiz. But in your test, my results were near the results of the Dalai Lama.

However, I don't feel anything for the US Libertarian party, I do believe in a strong (but not an authoritarian government). I'm a socialist - union member, and member of a socialist party.

I also took the 10 question test - leaving all the 'M' (maybe) selections in place. The graph plot was dead center Centrist, but the Centrist score was only 30.18% while the Libertarian score was 35.63%. I'm no statistician, but that seems strongly biased to me. Update: Ok, I reread the page as Ven'Tatsu suggested and of course he is right! Mea Culpa.	[reply]

You miss-read the page, the table is the percentages where all respondants have fallen. Your rank is just bellow the grid. I almost made the same mistake, then notince the line just above the table "2,760 users have taken the quiz so far. Results are renewed after each submission"	[reply]

I took the 10 question test and answered according to the way things are in the U.S. except I answered yes for "Repeal regulations on sex for consenting adults" and no for "People are better off with free trade than with tariffs" and I was determined to be an authoritarian. For an American, it seems like I'm more of a centrist. I don't like that test, but it's posted on a clearly biased web site, so I'm not surprised.	[reply]
