Since when am I a pacifist? Some of the questions seemed a bit weird, but I'm not too suprised from the results.

The only thing that really annoys me that tests like this always put me so far into being secular despite my religious beliefs, I guess not wanting to convert the heathens by the sword takes off a lot of points.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Actually makes sense, though. It's a secular mindset. Much like someone can be religious and gladly have a secular education, you can be religious with a secular mindset. And, you're more pacifistic if you are less militaristic. I blame my high militaristic-ness on being 75% German, lol.

Apparently i'm a cosmopolitan Social Democrat.





I think it's weird that it says i'm only 51% secular. I did say that religious education should be compulsory, but teaching children about different religions is not the same as endorsing it...

I think the way some of the questions were worded pushed you towards certain answers as well.

Most likely. I answered 'strongly disagree' on that one, even though I agree with you, because of the way that question tends to be interpreted.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

I can't say I'm surprised at all, other than a tiny dose of "Anthropocentrism."

Oh yes, I am another of those folks who voted "Strongly disagree" on compulsory religious education in public schools because I feel like organized religion has no place in public education. And also, the denial of the "Theory" of Evolution (which there is overwhelming evidence of and there is no reason to still believe in Divine Creation).

I had to do that with the animal testing question because it was worded quite strongly in one direction.

Blah. Went through that shitty test and got hit with an error. Too many of the questions were vague. Some were over broad liked the meat eating question.

Yet another cosmopolitan Social Democrat, 5% are more extremist than me.



I would've expected a higher cosmopolitan score, but everything else sounds about right.

Those eco questions should have been more
should slaughter houses be made more humane even if it raises the cost of meat

i didn't find this test to be any help, especially since it seems to USA-centric.

I noticed that as well. I also wish they'd allowed me to weight a few more of the answers.
