A lot of the time I agree with the sentiment of a statement, but disagree strongly with the wording, so I put down neutral or mildly agree/disagree but it doesn't quite reflect my views.

"Your test scores indicate that you are a tough-minded cultural centrist; this is the political profile one might associate with a jaded materialist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal."

And apparently I'm sensible realistic egalitarian?

So if you're progressive and socialist you're a humanist, but if you're progressive and non-socialist you're not? Humanism implying socialism - that quiz needs to get its timeline straight.

ehh

if we're working philospohy, socialism assumes all beings have the same amount of agency, under the assumption that material goods equal ability to influence things

and i think agency was important for humanism but then i know fuckall about reality

Your test scores indicate that you are a very tender-minded progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with an animal rights activist. It appears that you are tolerant towards religion, and have a compassionate and sympathetic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a libertarian.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible realistic egalitarian with several strong convictions.

Tolerant towards religion, that's me. And sensible! I like being sensible.

The religion bit is interesting, when you read the questions, just about anyone who is not a religious fanatic is going to come up with: skeptical towards religion. Do the quiz writers believe you don't have beliefs if your not ramming them down everyone else's throat?

It's not about whether or not you have religious beliefs, it is your attitude towards them. If you aren't trying to make other people believe it, when it is that critically important, then you obviously have some skeptical analysis of it.

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a university professor. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a humanist.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a considerate principled egalitarian with several strong convictions.

i like that there were a bunch of questions that essentially asked if you support eugenics, [sarcasm] because that's a thing people still believe in [/sarcasm
EDIT: also this test seems vaguely biased towards socialism, but i could be wrong.

... What? You haven't seen the internet fad of "Oh if we only limited breeding to smarter people" or "It's such an issue that stupid people are having such huge litters while the smart people are barely breeding at all!"?

It's fairly widespread.
