                    I was one little square away from center, in the left/libertarian direction. I found most of the questions to be too simplistic to indicate much beyond which tribe one’s visceral reactions align best with.

                    Education is extremely important.

                          So far, except for Bach and Horace (who is a secret lefty, har har) we are all members in good standing of the Lavender Club.

                            @Catseye3 you make it sound a lot worse that way. I suppose it's slightly better than being in the Pink Club.

                                        I had a lot of problems with the questions...

                                        “ If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.” Trans-National Corporations are part of humanity...

                                        “I’d always support my country, whether it was right or wrong.” What’s that supposed to mean? As an example: I love my countryside I don’t want to hurt it so I won’t speak against slavery or I love my country and support it, which is why I must speak up against Slavery?

                                        “ The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Sometimes....

                                          @LuFins-Dad I agree, some of the questions were a little silly or nonsensical. I think the questions have to be read as your guess of "What is the most likely intention of the question authors on what the answer to the question implies?".
