I think I'm closer to Ghandis little red dot...

btw, I did not like the question:
A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.
Well, I had to agree here. It's a simple system, whether it is a faschist or communist system. Anyone disagreeing in this system will be shot or locked away for ever. There is no delay of process, not much to speak of, that is...
But I do not agree that it is the best system. Lousy question...

Some other questions were a bit stupid too. And there is no center option of "neither agree or disagree".

Anyway, here is mine:

Would've of been nice to have a neutral/ do not care for some of those questions.

Personally I think the dot should be a little further south, but hey, maybe its knows more than me.

I found alot of the questions leveraged and guiding I forget the name for it but they do it with polls alot.

Questions like "Do you like pollution" of course the vast majority will say no.

Where as questions like "Do you think global warming is a 'real' issue" will get answers from both ends of the spectrum.

I might take the test this evening when I have time.

First question right out of the box.

Quote:

If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

First it assumes globalization of the economy is inevitable, furthermore who would answer in the affirmative for trans-national coporations?

Yea screw humanity I'm all about the coporations ! :rotfl:

Tchocky · 09-04-09, 11:44 AM

Answer there is that trans-national corporations inherently benefit humanity.
THe "good for GM" theory, which isn't all wrong

Steve is right. I have seen this before. I wonder if I changed since that one last year sometime.

It doesn't assume because it uses the word "if".

That aside, I have had discussions with people who think that corporations
shouldn't be forced to compromise their own interests to benefit any other
interests.

It's an extreme position to take, but not one no one takes.

The compass requires questions about extreme positions in order to find
if you should be given an extreme score on the compass.
