Well, I decided to take some religion and politics quizzes today (just for amusement), and here are my results:
From the What Religion Suits You? test:
[q]Your Result
Atheism: You are most suited to be an athiest. Athiests believe that there is no god. Most likely you believe in science and the cold, hard facts that science brings. You probably don't like to think about what comes after death, focusing more on life. That can be a good thing, but people need something to believe in. Remember that and try not to criticize people if they are religious.[/q]
No surprises there. Now moving on to my second publicized
Belief-O-Matic test:
[q]
How did the Belief-O-Matic do? Discuss your results on our message boards.
[/q]
No surprises there, either, although my score for Unitarianism has dropped to 90 percent from 97 percent.
Next, I took another Beliefnet quiz, this one being the What's Your Path to Peace? test. I scored:
[q](on a scale of 1-40)
18 - 27 
You take the non-violent path. Like famed Indian pacifist, Mahatma Gandhi, you believe that peaceful civil disobedience is the best route to social change. There are rare moments when violent resistance may be considered as a better option. Nonviolence, you emphatically believe, is not to be confused with cowardice, but rather the highest expression of bravery. Find prayers for peace here.[/q]
An interesting result, and I think a reasonably accurate one.
I retook the
Politics Test on OkCupid, and my result was a little more economically permissive than last time, but otherwise the same:
And lastly, the Political Personality Test.
My results were:
[q]HMPI
Horizontalist - Militant - Progressive - Individualist
You are opposed to big government and state welfare, and believe that the market would function much more efficently without any government intervention. You are prepared to take radical action against a state which tramples over individual rights.
Examples of historical HMPIs are:
Max Stirner - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Stirner
How your result is calculated
This test measures your preferences in four areas;
The first variable measures your attutude towards authority. If you believe in a strong, vertical power structure, then you will recieve the designation of Authoritarian. However if you are distrutful of such systems, and prefer small governments, then you will recieve a designation of Horizontalist.
The second variable shows how inclined you are to radical action. If you are likely to take up arms against the system, you will recieve the designation of Militant. However, if you prefer to work within the system and show a more pacifistic nature you will recieve the designation of Reformist.
The third variable demonstrates your attitude towards change. If you are sceptical of change then you will recieve the designation of Conservative. If you believe in the necessity of change you will recieve the designation of Progressive.
The last variable determines your attitude towards economics. If you support an economic system in which the needy are cared for then you will recieve the designation of Collectivist. If you are in favour of an economic system which allows individuals to amass large amounts of resources for their own private use then you willrecieve the designation of Individualist.[/q]
While I don't believe the overview was entirely correct, since it made extrapolations based on the designations it gave me, it is to be expected in a short test such as that.
To clarify the designations, I prefer:
- as large a government as necessary. It shouldn't be larger or smaller than is required to perform state functions.
- I would only take up arms against a government if all peaceful methods have failed, and only then if the government is totalitarian in nature.
- The third and fourth variables are entirely accurate
I found the tests to be quite interesting, and I would recommend them to anyone who is interested in such things.
