Interesting enough, but you have to take their advice seriously about not quibbling with the wording of their propositions, just go with your gut reaction.

I can't really answer such questions without wondering about how the answers will be interpreted.
For instance, take
A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.
That's mostly a statement of facts, yet if I answer that I agree, it will presumably be interpreted as me being "authoritorian" or something, although I completely disagree with one-party states for other obvious reasons.

I’m with Klaus, that statement requires context to provide any useable data.

Wait, this is the exact same quiz we did a few weeks ago...

I know we’ve done something like it before a long time ago.
If we did it a few weeks ago I missed it.
But the answer to your question is yes.

We just did one of these here a month ago. The questions annoyed me for those same reasons.

Hmm, you posted a joke in it, but didn’t actually post your results so may not have taken it. George took it though and had a different result...

Couldn't figure out how to link in the image off of my tablet, but I'm going to tell you something that will scare you spitless...You're not very far from me on the plot.

I can't get the bloody thing to paste in, but I'm pretty much the mirror image of Klaus and Jolly, on the left.
