Yours truly just learned (hat tip to Joe Katzman) about another new blog with a political personality test. I took the test and received an 81. According to Wildmonk, this makes me a "Realist" according to the right and a "Capitalist Stooge" according to the left. At the time I took the poll, 3,700 people had completed the survey and 19% were also labeled as Realists/Capitalist Stooges. I was also informed that On a rationality scale, where 0 is irrational and 10 is rational, you scored: 10. Note that rationality scores are not based on answers to any of the questions relating to support for war.

It is important to note that is a War Personality Test - it doesn't ask any questions about one's perspectives on other issues such as abortion, economics, etc. So while I remain a political Independent, I don't mind being considered a Realist by the Right and a Capitalist Stooge by the Left when it comes to matters of international security. Leftists are fairly naïve on this issue, their ideas result in human misery as epitomized (or should that be nadirized?) by the histories of the Soviet Union, the People’s Republic of China, and North Korea.

The poll is hardly scientific, but it is interesting. More importantly than the feedback, the questions themselves make you think about the probable conflict ahead.
