I haven't take this yet - but I would be VERY interested to see the results for a large sample of hubski users. I bet it's mostly lower left. just a hunch
Mine was just about the average of everyone else's that I've seen. I didn't bother posting. A few others have suggested that the test itself is biased, which is almost certainly somewhat the case. Quantifying this bias? Hah, good luck.
It felt biased to me. I scored in the lower left, which I think is very accurate. However, I felt like the questions were worded in a way that made right-leaning answers sound stupid. It seemed to encourage left-leaning answers. Maybe I'm crazy though.
I agree. So far I'm one of two people who scored right-leaning and I definitely felt the test was biased. There were several questions that were leading, several questions that had no answer for persons of a more conservative bent, and several questions where I didn't agree with the initial assumptions.
That's the thing about bias. You can never tell if it's intentional or not.
Well... except when you're consuming any form of mainstream media...
I'm actually surprised. I don't believe there's an agenda here, because on 4chan green is much less common. Yes, I know I said 4chan, but still...
I wonder, do you think there's a correlation between the type of website this link is posted on and the results posted? I'd posit that centrally moderated websites attract members with more authoritarian leanings, and that more discussion-based websites attract members with more left-wing leanings. Since Hubski is non-moderated (libertarian) and interaction-based (socialist), it attracts members who fall in the green box. 4chan and Reddit are moderated by a select group, so I think they would attract members with more authoritarian views. I wonder if anonymity of the members also comes into play here somewhere.
Honestly, it's not worth the effort. It's somewhat fun, but in no way informing. The partisan links came after completion of the test if memory serves right.
I can't even take the quiz, the questions are silly. They lost me on page one with... "There is now a worrying fusion of information and entertainment." ?now? Myths, legends, holy books, good lord, does anyone thing the 200+ pages of nautical instruction in Moby Dick was an accident? "Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified." I don't even know what that means, but I suspect that they mean "treaty" or "standard of behavior" rather than law. So I'm off the chart then, thanks very much. -XC
