Left vs Right political test based on lifestyle choices

[Typh0n]

I think it has been posted before in some form or another, but I wonder how this method of tying lifestyle choices to politics holds up to reality.

I got:

55 percent left
45 percent right

Left-leaning centrist

[Morpeko]

Left: 55%
Right: 45%

Wow, we've all gotten the same results so far.

 

[Doctor Cringelord]

Extreme alt-right conservative indeed

Based on your lifestyle, social scientists would predict that your political views are Hardcore Left-Wing.

80% Left
20% Right

combo breaker

 

[Falcarius]

Somewhat right wing.

Right 65%
Lest 35%

 

[Lark]

65% to the right.

I dont know about these things, although to be honest I am really not sure about defining left and right in terms of habits and norms, as the right has monopolised much of what should be bipartisan good sense, the left has let them do that, and when the left has tried to provide a normative basis for their ideas its been shite, well intended and wrong.

So I guess that makes me right most of the time but I'm actually a socialist supporter of radical democratic or popular sovereignty movements.

Evil rich guy, all the way 55/45 is basically code for it.

65% to the right.

Yeah, I'm a bit skeptical as well, I was just wondering how people would score and if they feel it is accurate or just bullshit.

The arugula question made me laugh.

Solidly left wing

70% left, 30% right

Also, the real differences in these questions was not do you like/agree or do you not like/disagree something, it's what you found to be pointless or never heard of.

 

[RadicalDoubt]

The arugula question made me laugh.

Me too. If you take some of their other quizzes that comes up fairly often because there was a study that correlated certain behaviors with liking bitter vegetables (like arugala) Part of me doubts that correlation though.

I'm also another 55 Lefter

I've never heard of it, what is it? Is it political?

No. It's a bitter salad green. Rocket might be a more familiar term to you.

 

[Doctor Cringelord]

It's completely unscientific. A fun test, a parlour game. Little more. I wouldn't read too much into any results.

Thought it was going to be some cool variety of pickle

Right-Leaning Centrist

45% Left 55% Right

I think the Country Music question threw me and I wanted to skip it. I listen to everything. Metal, Rap, Classical, Jazz...but I listen to Bluegrass more than Classical so I leaned in that direction.

Yeah, I thought that question was bullshit. Personally, I chose classical, but I don't think this preference holds as much weight with younger generations, what with country and alt country sort of having a renaissance in recent decades. In other words, country has gained in reputation with a lot of left-leaning hipster types. On the flip, there's still probably a lot of conservative, William Buckley motherfuckers rocking out to Stravinsky and Beethoven.


And Arugala, this seems like it would be less dependent on one's political views and more so on their socioeconomic background.

I didn't like that question either. But just because one listens to country music doesn't make them in cahoots with the NRA country music alliance. I was never surprised that it was a thing but I kind of thought - there has to be one of you (artists) that aren't down with being told you are "part of a lifestyle and a bond between the best and brightest in country music and hard-working Americans."
