Get a net!
For a variety of reasons, I am so disgusted that I might as well share some very personal test results with my readers. Charles Hill (of Dustbury) steered me to a test which irritated me to no end by daring to question my practicality!
Wow! I am glad to see I was not alone testing out at only 30% PRACTICAL. I like to think of myself as very practical too. Only practical people would engage in blogging, right? The problem, obviously, is that this test is impractical, and it does not know practical people when it sees them.So, pay no attention to the above silly and impractical test! Then, reading through a series of comments at Arthur Silber's very addictive blog, I was finally persuaded to take the political compass test. Results? Your political compass Economic Left/Right: 4.50 Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.54I had a great deal of trouble answering some of the questions, because they require accepting too many underlying assumptions. I therefore simply "disagreed" with the questions I did not like, which allowed me to finish the test. I'm in the lower right hand quadrant -- probably where I belong. (I guess maybe I am about 30% practical....) posted by Eric on 10.13.03 at 08:32 PM |

I took that test and ended up as 38% Extreoverted to 62% Introverted, 20% Friendly to 80% Aggressive, 42% Orderly to 58% Disorderly, 28% Relaxes to 72% Emotional, 58% Intellectual to 42% Practical.
They said this of me: "Extroversion results were low which suggests you are quiet, unassertive, and aloof. Friendliness results were low which suggests you tend to be rude, uncooperative, and irritable. Orderliness results were medium which suggests you are moderately organized, reliable, neat, and ambitious. Emotional stability results were low which suggests you are worrying, insecure, emotional, and nervous. Intellectualness results were medium which suggests you are moderately creative, original, curious, and imaginative. Overall, you scored highest on Intellectualness and lowest on Friendliness."
All of that is true except -- where did they ever get the idea that I'm Practical _at all_?? That's insane! I'm totally IMpractical!
