I, for one, like taking these “quizes” I find floating around the Web. Why? It lets me see much of what the designer of the quiz is thinking. They are all skewed to a particular viewpoint and if you take the quiz while confidently knowing yourself, you can easily see just how skewed the designer is in his/her apporach.
Below are the results of the latest quiz I took. This one on The Bull’s political stance. It placed me as a Centrist. Not far off the truth, actually. However, on the web site’s background it had me placed squarely with the lying, devious, traitorous sack of crap, John Kerry – who is by no means a Centrist.
Take a look…
| You are a Social Liberal (60% permissive) and an… Economic Moderate (43% permissive) You are best described as a:

This should show you the direction and mind-set of the designer of this quiz. To turn minds towards the Liberal Left. How else could The Bull be placed anywhere near the Bloody Traitor’s camp?
To further show this effect, check out these results they claim as a truthful representation of America’s desires:
- 68% pro-choice (may be pretty close…)
- 46% pro-death penalty (too low)
- 58% for gun control (only in Kalifornia and Communist Massachusetts!)
- 44% against the War on Drugs (suuuure…!)
- 26% for the War on Iraq (My ass!)
What a crock! So don’t feel too bad when you take one of these quizzes and find yourself pegged as something you are not. Just think of what the designer is trying to do – turn you away from what you know to be Right!
Using this same graphic, I’d place myself here:

Bull, out.
