Political affiliaton proxy test

Post by Pwns »

http://labs.time.com/story/can-time-pre ... -politics/

Take the quiz of questions not relating to politics and see if it accurately predicts your politics.

Mine was about 3/4 of the way to the right.

I had a problem with the "If I were to visit New York City" question because I would never visit New York City. I have absolutely no desire to go there. In fact when I am driving in that area of the country I will go out of my way to try to stay completely away from it. I'd be the same way with Los Angeles or any other very large city.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Good. NYC doesn't need anymore low class pricks standing on the corners complaining a bout the number of people or staring up at skyscrapers.

All other things aside, I do think it's interesting that it correctly pegged me as that conservative with that set of questions.

Slightly right of moderate. Not really interested in Time Square or Museum of Art, but had to pick one. Rather go to the natural history museum, Chinatown, Little Italy, Statue of Liberty, Yankees game or a lot of other places first.

I liked the test and found entertaining...
I was wondering how they would drag out the "embrace authority or question authority" meme...

I might have tried to sneak that one in there differently
They just telegraphed that sucker

Some people use Firefox (or Chrome or whatever) only because IE is "too corporate, bruh". Of course, I use Firefox because it's just more stable...I'm not real proud of it because it makes me look like a hipster moron.

There is some data showing Mac users tend to be more liberal, and I absolutely detest Macs and don't think they're worth one gawtdam penny more than a windows machine, so I still get to keep my conk card.

I build my own computers and so does my girlfriend...
and in that world Apple just isn't an option and trying to by one is ridiculous
They want so much money for WAY WAY below average performance - it's crazy

Apple to me feels like the worlds largest successful scam

I probably would have said the same thing before I went to NYC. Don't know how anybody affords to live there but it is a wonderful, entertaining city. Have been there probably 200+ times. New Yorkers have the rep for being rude and obnoxious. After hours when the stress if over, I found them to be among the friendliest people I have met. :thumb:

New York City is kind of like the rain forest, Sahara, or Alaska. Cool place to visit, would never want to live there.
