LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Nice.
To be honest though, I did lie on one of the questions. The one that said how cool or warm are you to republicans/democrats. I put 50 on both because historically I have felt that way. I had always been an independent and always thought of people as simply americans rather than democrats and republicans. I think its obvious that the rise of trump has made me cool on republicans a decent amount (though I might argue i have cooled on trumpers and maybe they are a different category that republicans or democrats) so I should have answered that question with something like 50 for democrats and 20 for republicans. Or 100 democrats and 70 republicans (since I like to think that I am warm in feeling to all americans. With the exception of those who think of trump as a great human and the greatest president of all time)
 
Taking the quiz again with an accurate answer on the one I was inaccurate on to see if the result changes. BTW the question that says "In general, would you say experts who study a subject for many years are… " did anyone actually choose that they are worse at making good policy decisions about that subject? wtf. I figure probably everyone choose the answer that they are usually better at making policy decisions on that subject.

After retaking the quiz but adjusting my answer on the question about how warm I am toward democrats vs republicans my result was the same. Ambivalent right.

I'm also Ambivalent Right, but I find the array to be telling. Only 1/3 of Stressed Sideliners would be left of center while 2/3 are on the right. The very next cohort to center on the right is the largest group. The bulk of those on the political right are in the middle.

On the left side, the cohort next to the extreme is the largest block. The plurality of those on the political left are one step from hanging pictures of Marx and Lenin in their living rooms.

I also struggled more on that question than on any other. I get along great with old school liberal Democrats. I do not fit well with screechy cancel culture warrior Democrats. I could have rated a 0 to almost 100 depending on the Democrat, but then I always think the person is more important than whatever group they are in.

I lean a lot in one direction. The survey interprets the dislike of both parties as a centrist position when you can definitely hate both from either side.

I was a zero for republicans and a 10 for democrats.

I didn't identify any questions that offered a Marxist response. The entire spectrum is well within a capitalist framework. I don't think you can say how many steps away from Marxism those ending up on the left side are.

Yep, not really an economic quiz. I've only got my grandparents portraits up, but I'm comfortable identifying as some form of Marxist, and I wound up Ambivalent right because it's mostly a social test.

Answers below:
Bigger government, modestly expand
Religion should be separate
America's openness is essential to who we are
A little more needs to be done to ensure equal rights
Other languages don't bother me at all
White people benefit a little from advantages in society
The US has gained more than it's lost
The US is one of the greatest countries in the world
The US should try to maintain superpower status
Dems 30, Reps 10
I usually feel like none of the candidates represent my views
Experts are better (seriously...)
Corporations make too much profit
People taking too much offense is a minor problem
People saying offensive things is a minor problem
Greater social acceptance of transgender folks is somewhat good
Convicts serve about the right amount of time (this is one where I feel there are aggressive rights and wrongs, the drug stuff is stupid and unproductive, and we've also gone too 'soft' on violent/white collar crime)

Everyone choose the same thing on this one? What the hell kind of question is that?

Actually I prefer the person making the policy decision to have as little knowledge about the policy being made as possible.
