  • When you are troubled, it's better not to think about it, but to keep busy with more cheerful things.
  • Abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all.
  • In a civilised society, one must always have people above to be obeyed and people below to be commanded.
  • The businessperson and the manufacturer are more important than the writer and the artist.
^ Odd questions. I didn't enjoy this test.

Even though it's a "Presidential" quiz (yuck), I still found this one more interesting:

2016 Election Quiz


You get rated on:
  • Small vs Big Govt
  • Multiculturalism vs Assimilation
  • Privacy vs Security
  • Laissez-faire vs Keynesian
  • Religious vs Secular
  • Centralization vs Decentralization
  • Capitalism vs Socialism
  • Globalization vs Protectionism
  • Collectivism vs Individualism
  • Tough vs Tender
  • Regulation vs Deregulation
  • Environmentalism vs Anthropocentrism
  • Populism vs Elitism
  • Isolationism vs Imperialism
  • Pacifism vs Militarism
  • Traditional vs Progressive
And the available answers are much more meaningful and, most importantly, thought-provoking.

I was strong on Small Government, Privacy, Laissez-faire, Secular, Decentralization, Capitalism, Individualism, Deregulation, Isolationism, and Pacifism. I was only weak (close to the center of the line) on the other measures. Overall very Libertarian, fairly Centrist with a very slight Right Wing lean.

I'm not sure what this means.

******

The first graph looked like this - and I'm definitely not a Trumper in his present embarrassing incarnation.

The first graph is simply an explanation of how to read the results. It's the same for everyone, and has nothing to do with your score.

My result was Left Libertarian, but I already knew that.

It pretty much works like this.

Red - Big government liberal; SJW - Barack Obama
Green - Center-left liberal - Bill Clinton
Purple - Center-right conservative - John McCain
Blue - Moralist/religious right - Donald Trump
I took the test and responded without reading this post carefully. Donald Trump is a "moralist?"

I also don't know why someone with liberal views can't be very moral or practice a religion and there are many agnostics & atheists with very strong values.

Speaking of boxes, last year I turned 65. I always fit into a box like 50 to 64 but there is no box after 65+ on every survey or questionnaire. I mean, you can be 18-25 and be in a 7 year box, or even 18-30, which is 12 years, but after 65 I guess there's only "old people, much older people and death. Now that many people are living to 90, they need to make another box. lol

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I clicked on your link. The quiz is very long, especially if you choose to answer the additional questions in each category. I disagree with some of the results. It did, however, conclude that I am mostly a Democrat.

I despise labels. Can I just take what I think is good from all sides and create a different color?
