Hagen’s Political Beliefs Assessment Test.

Donald J. Hagen sent me an email hoping that I would highlight his political party test and/or add a Web Link to his test on The Thunder Run. I stopped by earlier today and found his POLITICAL BELIEFS ASSESSMENT TEST or as he calls it, A Humorous Political Party Quiz to Test If You're an Archconservative, Leftwing Wacko, Antigovernment Libertine or a Commie Sympathizer.

I have to admit some of the answers to the questions were quite funny and I did laugh at the supposed answers for the Liberal and Communists as well as some of the Arch Conservative answers he provided. As always humor is based upon stereotypical characteristics of certain groups and sub-groups and it shouldn’t be taken as gospel that this is how everyone in these political parties would answer, but for the most part you have to agree with his generalizations.

Here is a sample question:

21: How would you define the word "profit"?
CONS: What business owners earn by selling a quality product at a competitive price.
LIBL: What business owners RIP-OFF from their customers.
LBRT: What business owners are rewarded with for risking the loss of their own money.
COMM: What business owners RIP-OFF from their employees.


So stop in and have a look at Don’s test and have yourself a little chuckle at yourself.
