by metric on 2005-08-02 08:29:00The outcome of the test is that of political opinion, yet it tests for general opinion. The statements assume that the person wants to solve everything with government. Government isn't always the best solution, so a persons general opinion can differ from their political opinion. For example, it's like asking me if I support murderers, but then wonder why I don't support chicken soup as a deterrent. -

"It is regrettable that many personal fortunes are made by people who simply manipulate money and contribute nothing to their society."
I get the feeling that by answering "yes", the quiz is assuming that I want the government to do something about it.
