Political compass II

You know my penchant for hyperbole, dar.

There are, of course, differences in agreeing or strongly agreeing. Using my examples, one could think "well, we're not all happy butterflies. Some of us are moths, but the really pretty moths like a Gypsy moth maybe. So I'll answer just 'disagree.'"

I think that is the reason. I very seldom go 100% one way or the other on these types of tests. There can always be a reason... or the question (like a survey or poll) is written rather poorly. I end up thinking yeh but. I see merits to both sides more so than some hardcore people at either end. The questions that have All, Every, Ever Never... virtually cannot get a "Strongly ____" answer.

I think I only had maybe 4 or 5 "Strongly_____" answers.

I had a few with just agree or disagree, but for the most part I felt pretty strongly about their strongly worded statements.

Then again, I've never really been middle of the road on anything. It's all or nuttin'!

Taking this approach, I think I ended up with 5-6 with only agree or disagree - forced myself to go one way or the other. FWIW...
