Political Quizzes

I’m finding that the political quizzes are too simplistic. There are not enough questions, and the ones they have are poorly worded or don’t provide enough choices for an answer. I’m not really convinced that any I’ve seen or taken really represents my own views, although it’s ok for a broad-strokes picture.

Unfortunately, the simplified differences on viewpoint are part of what undermines the political debate in the public sphere.

Maybe I should write one. It would be based on real-life scenarios, and then you have to put five or six answers in order of preference, not just choose yes or no or pick one from three or something like that.

If anyone knows of more sophisticated quizzes, please comment.


You Are a New School Democrat


You like partying and politics – and are likely to be young and affluent. You’re less religious, traditional, and uptight than most Democrats. Smoking pot, homosexuality, and gambling are all okay in your book. You prefer that the government help people take care of themselves.

What Kind of Psychic Are You? Test

Shaman
You scored 5 Empath, 5 Channeler, 1 Medium, and 10 Shaman!
You are a SHAMAN

As you are vividly aware of nature and the spirit in animals, plants, and trees, your style of psychism is shamanistic. You derive a highly tuned sense of danger from your instinctive link with wild animals; this is a great asset–your intuition literally saves lives. You can sense impending danger in all situations, whether it’s on the sidewalk, in traffic situations, or in the workplace. You may also have natural healing ability–an innate sense of what will harm or help someone who is ill.

Which Vampire Clan Test

Ravnos
43% P, 56% W, 38% H, 53% G
Play a Ravnos.. Trust me.. Illusion and deceit, your trickery is more than just sleight of hand, your illusions are as real as your enemies are willing to believe. You can speak to the animals, and take one hell of a beating, but your true trump card will usually be your ability to make people (and vampires) see, hear, feel, etc. whatever you want. This power is the most costly of powers, but it never fails, no roll of dice needed.. You must, however, when creating your character, choose a vice, be it theft, murder, white lies, or a taboo fetish, your character can’t resist the urge to engage in some immoral activity as often as possible. Better be careful, even fellow Ravnos might get annoyed with your habits after long. In the end, though, all Ravnos share some common goals, spreading east of their ancient homeland in India as they did to the west, releasing the energy that powers their illusions into the environment (powerful enemies seem to hold a lot of that sweet stuff), and bridging the generation gap between young Ravnos and the elders with a better understanding of each other… Before something messy happens..

“Exactly how nuts are you? test

Peanut
Congratulations! You scored 51%!
You’re so normal, I’m tempted to ask you: Please explain to me what normal is? I mean, since you are, you ought to have some understanding of it! Anyway, peanuts are good nuts. Especially when they are made into peanut sauce.. And you do do things that are nuts.. once or twice a year.

What Coding Language Are You Test

PHP
You scored 57 Problem Solving, 59 Common Sense, and 63 Creativity!
Although generally used for pretty specific functions, PHP pretty much does it all. It has to employ front-end interfaces but relies heavily on back-end structure, so both problem solving and creativity is important. And because PHP is predominantly used for dynamic web-based content, a little common sense and “knowing your audience” is pretty important.

Goody Two Shoes
You scored 73% Do Gooder, 72% Drive, and 96% Intellect!
Aw, don’t be hurt by that. You’re a good person…very nice and helpful to others, always lending a hand. Always, always offering to lend a hand, even perhaps when it’s not called for. Oh, and is that your raised hand in the air again? Why not let someone else answer next time? But seriously, there should probably be more people like you in the world. Super-smart, driven, and warm-hearted. There would be many less problems in the world if there were more like you, and you should be proud of that. Just don’t forget a little ‘me’ time now and then, you deserve it.

Mythological God Test


Amun

Indeed, you are 79% erudite, 83% sensual, 50% martial, and 54% saturnine.
Amun was a mysterious God indeed. His very name basically means “what is hidden”, “what is not seen”, “what cannot be seen”, and though even his form was said to be “unknown”, he was depicted as a man with the head of a uraeus (cobra), or a man seated on a throne and holding in one hand the sceptre, and in the other the ankh.

All secrets aside, what we do know is that Amun was the Egyptian King of the Gods, not unlike his counterparts Zeus (Greek mythology) and Odin (Norse mythology). With his ruling might over the Gods, Amun soon became associated with the Pharaohs.

Being responsible for the creation of the world, it is not surprising that he was also the God of fertility, reproduction, and sexual power, and thus also the God of agriculture. With the combined powers of regeneration and royalty, Amun became linked to the sun and the great God Ra, becoming known as Amun-Ra, which pretty much consolidated his status as Supreme God.

In spite of Amun’s political ascension, he also enjoyed popularity among the common people of Egypt, who came to call him the vizier of the poor, the protector of the weak, and an upholder of justice.

You scored higher than 50% on martial

Palm and Movie Double

Palm and Movie Double

Some of these quizzes at tickle are just teasers.

Heidi, your palm reveals you are especially good at

Expressing your true self

Your palm shows you are vivacious, energetic, flexible and creative. You will be most content in professions that allow you to exercise your imagination.

Ok – that’s the most minimalist palm reading I’ve ever gotten. Sheesh.
No, I’m not paying for the full report.

Trying another one – Who’s my movie star double… this one is better.

Heidi, your movie star double is Cate Blanchett

An intellectual like you needs to be played by someone who understands how to be deep without being boring, someone who can grasp complicated subjects and make them seem clear cut, someone like Cate Blanchett. Whether bringing to life Elizabethan stories or playing an undercover WWII courier in Charlotte Gray, Cate has shown the world that being smart can be sexy.

Were you sometimes the kid in class who realized when the teacher made a mistake — even if you didn’t always point it out? Now that you’re grown up, it wouldn’t surprise us if you still liked the challenge of banter or enjoyed staying up late talking about the latest in political, social, or celebrity circles. Your glamour comes from your head first and radiates out through your looks. Cate’s a natural to star as you because she, like you, has a good head on her shoulders. And she isn’t afraid to use it.
