I noticed several of them were skewed that way...
"Are doctors & military personel more important to our society than inspiring artist"?

Mine was 'Are businessmen and manfuacturers more important than writers and artists?'
Obviously, I went with 'No.'
Anyway, here is mine:

A lot of these tests are. There are a bunch of them. I've been a Neo-conservative, a libertarian, fascist, etc. on these things. I took one good one in late 2007 or early 2008, but it took 90-120 minutes to complete because there were so many questions. I have no idea where to find it since it was an optional class assignment prior to the 2008 elections.

As some who designs, implements, monitors, and analyzes surveys. I can say there are multiple problems with this survey.
No neutral choices, leading questions to get desired responses, etc....

Exactly. As best as I can tell, the purpose of this survey is to convince moderate/center-right people that they're actually democrats and always have been. It's cute.

Yes. It is definitely agenda filled questions. I really like the moron above saying how Obama isn't left.
It's called falling into the trap.
Take the results with a grade of slaw.

I agree. I took a bunch of these when I frequented Fark, including this one. I don't remember my results though. I don't take any of these seriously outside of the one I took for class.

I don't see the point of the abstract art question. Not seeing what that has to do with politics.

We should probably do this survey collectively as a board, voting on each response and submitting our answers as a whole to see where TBB actually stands from a political view.

I can go ahead and tell you it would be top right corner.

Probably right.... Lots of Obama followers on these intranets.

Errr...I think you misunderstand the chart.
Top right would be far right wing. Bottom left is socially and fiscally liberal.
I'm saying 80-90% of this board is right wing so if we voted on each reply TBB would be very very conservative.
