Well, we can also ALL find out where we rank on "The F Scale". www.anesi.com/fscale.htmHeh, at the end of the test, the author of the post does a pretty good Opty imitation.

I'm a "true American." Yay.
But I'm pretty sure that's the test the CIA used to identify people who would make good assassins...

It should be no surprise to any of you that I am a whining rotter.

Ha! I'm a liberal airhead! I'm a 2.4.
(Actually, my atheism and my libertarian bent had more to do with my answers to most of these than anything else. If you're an atheist civil liberties nut, as I am, I think you're likely to come up as I did.).
I'd be interested in hearing where the rest of you come out.

Yeah, I am pretty sure that a hard "nope" on all the God/supernatural/astrology stuff consigns you to airheadedness.

Most of my answers where "somewhats," one way or the other. That probably makes it hard to end up at either extreme. Imo, a lot of "stronglys" means responses driven by emotion (not for all of the questions, to be sure). So what the test might actually measure is the degree to which emotions impact responses for different people.

Your F Score is: 3.00 You are disciplined but tolerant; a true American.
I'm not sure if I should feel elated or ashamed...

The questions themselves are loaded with emotion and superlatives. "Obedience and respect for authority are the most important virtues children should learn."
If it had said important, I could have somewhat agreed. But I can't agree that it's the most important. I can't even disagree somewhat. I disagree totally.
Also, I can't with classifying obedience/respect for authority as virtues. Very irksome.
*whines*
What in the heck does this mean: "Some people are born with an urge to jump from high places."

I know! Is that urge to jump referring to depression/suicide? or risky behavior?

Yes, that one was bizarre
There were a couple I don't think necessarily cut the way the test makers intended. E.g., the one about the world ending in catastrophe. Well, actually, I do think that's fairly likely -- but not because of a deity.
And the one about mixing with lots of people and catching diseases. Well, I suspect it's intended to measure xenophobia. But me, I ride the NYC subway every day, smashed between sick, germy people, and I dated a biologist for a while, which made me kind of aware that being packed in with lots of strangers from all over makes you more vulnerable to catching things. (Not to mention all those shots I had to get before traveling to Africa, Asia, and South America.) So my answers to both questions may well have pushed my score in a direction the testers didn't intend. I don't think foreigners are dirty and bad. I just think being exposed to more people and diseases you haven't developed immunity for makes you more vulnerable.
