Spoiler: Just plain soc-dem for me. (click to show/hide)

Yep, under their narrow German terms, I'm classed as a social democrat.

Out of curiosity, I took the test again to see how much my results drifted. It seems I'm more extreme in the afternoon than the evening.

Bay12 is pretty damn well in lockstep on this one, at least compared to the other forum I shared this test on. The only major differences I notice here are on the Ecological/Anthropocentric axis.

[Criptfeind]

Me, too.

I'm 30 points less secular, I feel like I've failed in some way.

You really shouldn't. I'm a "new wave angry atheist." Yes, I can be an obnoxious twat about it.

[Orange Wizard]

I kinda wish my fundamentalism score was higher so I could reasonably get angry at the angry atheist.

...

Took the test again, got social democratic cosmopolitan. Shock, horror.

Spoiler: The numbers are different (click to show/hide)

I seem to be getting more extreme. I scored more pacifist than before (I would hardly consider myself such), more anthropocentric, and more cosmopolitan.

[Arx]

I think it says a lot about this forum that I come out as 11% secular. Despite holding some views that are... diametrically opposed to those of some other forumites.

It might also be because I only say something's very important to me if I really mean it, and most of the questions were too vague for me to say whether or not I seriously approved/disapproved.

[Orange Wizard]

I dunno, I got the impression that the quiz was going more down the line of "you don't routinely enforce your religious beliefs upon others? CLEARLY YOU ARE NO TRUE SCOTSMAN FUNDAMENTALIST"

Which personally I find weird, because I consider myself fundamentalist in the sense that I hold to the fundamental points of my religion and the rest is more lenient. But fundamentalist in common parlance means... taking even extraneous and irrelevant things as srs bsns and shouting/shooting down all who oppose you?

Putnam is probably cursing me right now, "y u no accept language changes".

[Flying Dice]

You've missed a linguistic march there. "Fundamentalism" is a Protestant religious movement defined by strict adherence to literal interpretation of religious texts. It's a field-specific term only loosely related to the base word "fundamental" (or the base word of that, "fundament"). There is no meaning of "fundamentalist" or "fundamentalism" which is disconnected from that meaning, the closest you get is the application of it to other groups which share a similarly literal and dogmatic attitude.

You can be a Christian who believes in the fundamental tenets of Christianity without being a fundamentalist, because the "fundamental tenets" are ambiguous and open to interpretation. A fundamentalist is someone who believes that because the Bible says that Noah built a giant boat and kept two of every animal plus his family on board when God flooded the entire world that literally happened, that Adam and Eve really existed and are really the progenitors of the entire human race, and that Eve was literally made by God carving out one of Adam's ribs.

You are a Social Democrat. 8 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 3 percent are more extremist than you.

I knew I was extreme but wow. I am the freakin' Cardinal of Soc-Dems.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Only took the short version, so my results could likely be taken with a grain of salt, but I wound up with the 3 percent Liberal Patriot where 80 percent are more extremist than me.

Hey thread, it's been a while. Want to help Cambridge out with a study, and peer into how your musical taste may reflect your personality and psychology?

http://www.musicaluniverse.org/

Finished the Musical Taste quiz. Might do the rest later, but each one is a decent chunk of questions.

Musical Preferences
Here are your musical preference scores:
   Your preference score for Mellow music: 33 (Very High)
   Your preference score for Unpretentious music 27 (Very High)
   Your preference score for Sophisticated music: 37 (Very High)
   Your preference score for Intense music: 29 (Average)
   Your preference score for Contemporary music: 28 (Very High)
   
Personality
Here are your personality scores. Scores range from 1 to 7.
   On Extraversion you scored: 4.5 (Avg. 4.44)
   On Agreeableness you scored: 5 (Avg. 5.23)
   On Openness to Experience you scored: 7 (Avg. 5.38)

   On Emotional Stability you scored: 3 (Avg. 4.83)

Your score on Life Satisfaction was:  17 (Below Average)

Sounds about right. Curious about how the two data sets relate, but I guess that's what the study itself is trying to figure out!
