You consider being an ultra-progressive middle ground?
In some threads here it is.

The one flaw with this is that I am not skeptical towards religion; I am a Christian.
You can be religious and skeptical toward religion. You may not be the "standard Christian".

I usually like these tests the least. Which is why I took this one!


Progressivism    75
Socialism    43.75
Tenderness    40.625

Surprisingly I feel like this one did things... Alright. Though a lot of the questions felt loaded or overly appealing to emotion. I also like powder miner disagree with saying I'm skeptical towards religion, since well... I'm not. I'm critical of people pushing it to others, or using it to hurt people. Not skeptical of religion itself.

Highly disputable. While it is clear the test is centered with Protestants and Catholics in mind, there are numerous religions, and even sub-divisions of Christianity, which have substantially different viewpoints. There is no "Standard" Christian, and conflating a standard Christian with religious people in general has unpleasant implications; there is also no "standard" religious viewpoint, other then perhaps belief in a higher power. This was a weakness of the test.


Anyway, is it just me or is Journalist the generic profession? Seems most of us here got it, within a substantial range.

I think it's more that everyone here ranks pretty high on Progressivism and about the same-ish on Tenderness, so the only area where there is some variance is economical beliefs, and even there we predominantly have people leaning to the left, so most scores are going to be same-ish.

Oh my god.

The descriptions of each... thing are a mite snide (I enjoyed them, though), but the descriptions for each combination are goddamn hilarious.

I have often thought of starting a cult, hehe.

I feel I got way too high socialism score, probably because of questions like: "In strikes and disputes between workers and employers I usually side with the employers" and  "Capitalism works well". In disputes I don't usually side with either party, choosing sides - if any based - on individual case. And just because I don't think capitalism works well doesn't mean I think communism fares any better.

Curious: what economic system DO you favor?

Or are you of the "every system we've come up with so far is shit" opinion?

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.
