8 questions A new politcal test (results and discussion)

Post Reply New Topic

proposal,
the test consists of five subjects
you simply fill in the blank with
1 never
2 almost never [thanks count]
3 often
4 almost always
5 always

the word wrong is defined as morally wrong or ethically wrong
for those that like to be obtuse the scale is continuous on the interval [1,5]
give your answers in comma deliminated form i.e 1,2,3,2,5,1,1 or 1,1,2.2,3,4,5,1 etc.

1. Abortion is ______ wrong.
2. War is _____ wrong.
3 The Market is _______ wrong.
4 Government Intervention is _______ wrong.
5 Coercion is _______ wrong.
6 The Police are _________ wrong.
7 The Right is _______ wrong.
8 The Left is ________ wrong.

when I get enough data a sort of cladistic chart
to see how we relate to each other politically
and to see if the labels right and left have any meaning here.
oh and everything will be normalized so biased wording should not effect
the result
if you keep your comments in separate post data collection will be easier.

Ok, in seriousness, here I am:
