Not really a surprise. It just so happens that I am most vocal about certain liberal views.

This was mine exactly. Weird.

I find it interesting that they would peg a pet and art as conservative. I have never been to New York and I would love to visit Times Square just to be there once, so if I had to choose, I pick TS. On my next visit it might be different. I picked dogs because my family has strong allergies to cats and we simply have never and will never own one.
 
Part of the results lies in the definitions. On the question about teaching kids to respect authority, I thought about my own kids and I slightly agreed that they need to learn to respect authority. I also have actively taught them to question authority and think for themselves, but they have to learn that policemen and firemen and government officials need to be given some level of respect. Does that mean to be liberal you have to teach your kids to never do anything anyone in authority says? So when my kid gets pulled over for running a red light he should jump out of his car and stage a sit-in in the middle of the freeway, or else we are severely conservative? Or something.

Anyway, it was pretty interesting. I will go through this with my kids and talk about it. Will be fun.
 
I strongly agreed, and would have agreed more if it had let me, about the respecting authority question. Once they have that part down, then we can talk about not just being a sheep. Too much of their lives, especially their first 20 to 25 years, is going to demand that they know how to interact and respect authority.

That one is actually pretty good for the purposes. Think about it, who is more likely to like cats? The people that live in nice range homes where dogs can roam freely or those paying 2000/month to live in crackhead apartment where dogs are not workable or even banned or similarly sized houses? Urban v. suburban? There is a political correlation there.

Liking and living with are not the same thing.

But cats are more self sufficient and require much less care and attention than a dog. To me that says cats are more conservative. Having a dog is like having a 2-3 year old that never grows up.

By the way the test is severely flawed. It says I am only 68% conservative.
 
This test works on stereotypes, and we know from the arguments about us all being racist and such that all stereotypes are always wrong, 100%.
