You only pasted half the code, Paul. :-)

They pegged me as "generally liberal" which means 29% Republican. Heh.

This apparently puts me in with Aaron Sorkin, creator of "The West Wing" which, oddly enough, is my favorite network TV entertainment show.

P.S. I skipped the code from the site-- takes WAY too long to download.

Sorry about the code snafu, Dean.

I scored the same as Ara, 29%--Adam Sorkin-range. Weird because I hate the West Wing and it's self-rightious, Hollywood liberal, we know better than you attitude. Even my lovely wife--who is far more liberal than myself--feels the same way. We prefer CSI in our house (but not CSI Miami, that sucks rocks.)

Well, I thought for sure that ignoring the little girl who needed food would have made me a republican. Apparently, however, my eagerness to take the hybrid and utter need to see everyone get legal defense (no matter how scummy they are) puts me right into that saint category with you, Mr. Esmay...

I ranked 29% too. I hate West Wing. I'm not a liberal.

I probably got nailed cuz I coulnd't resist the hybrid car, too! That, and I'd clean my own damn house.
But I did select "kill them, then take their wallet." Go figgre. :) Oh, I also went for 85% of what the scumbag had embezzeled.

I spent some time playing with the quiz. As far as I can tell, anyone selecting at least 6 "last on the list" answers gets a rating of "Saint".

It doesn't matter if you pick the most crass answer for the other 4 questions. Try it. Click on the highest choice of any 6 questions. Pick #1 for the 4 others. Some of my favorites:
"Whichever costs the most"
"Kill them, then take their wallet"
"Vote for whomever you've seen on TV the most"
"The Mexican, because they're the cheapest"

Do the above, and you still get a rating of "Saint". It's a stupid, rigged test. At the least they shouldn't make it so obvious what the "right" choices are.

I suggest that we all post what our real choices were. I'm dying to know what Dean actually picked. I still say he took the starving girl home just to bang her brains out... (running and ducking for cover)

For me:

A dirty, ragged girl on the street asks you for $2 so she can buy a slice of cheese pizza. How do you respond?
Give her $2 unless you have a 5, then just give her that.
I might plead no cash, but only if it were true, which is most of the time. I use plastic a lot; a debit card. :)

The restaurant screwed up your order and now you've been waiting 45 minutes for your meal. Your server finally brings it over to you and says "I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I don't know what happened. I hope you enjoy it." How do you respond?
Say "Thanks," and then, when the server is out of earshot, talk about what crappy service this place has.
I work in a restaurant. I can tell a server who got screwed by the kitchen from one who blames the kitchen for her stupid mistakes. If she (or he, but most servers are still women) works to make my dining expernience good, if she tries to make things right, I'll tip her well and respect her for that. This is a really dumb scenario, with really stupid and highly artificial constraints. But I think that's true for all the questions. :)

You lost a bet and had to appear on Wheel of Fortune. Out of the 7 final prizes, which one do you hope you get?
The gas/electric hybrid.
Ok, for me, this was a no-brainer. :)

You are heir to the family fortune, which was made entirely on whale oil. As the technology of electricity by-passes the need for whale oil as a fuel source, you:
Learn all about electricity and get a job at that new place, General Electric.
Um, what about "re-invest and get along with your life"? Why should I turn around & become a whale-kisser? (yes, Star Trek IV is my favorite ST movie)

You're straight. Someone of the same sex makes an obvious pass at you. How do you respond?
Turn them down politely and hang out for the rest of the night as though it never happened. Okay, maybe one joking reference to it.
What happened to just "no", and forget about it?

You say there's nothing more American than apple pie. The guy next to you says there's nothing more American than baseball. How do you respond?
Acknowledge that they're both pretty American, but mumble to your friends "but apple pie is MORE American."
I preferred this to the subsequent choice, as any reference to "My Country, Tis of Thee" makes me nauseaous for some reason. Delete the "mumble", and it's about right for me. ;) Like I really worry about it...

You own a terrific piece of land right next to a major highway, at a border with a stunning view. You put in at the city controller's office for a right to build. Just what you're building, you have no idea yet. Plenty of people offer their opinions, though. One group wants a wildlife preserve. One wants the city to buy it and build another public school. A power plant is looking for a place to dump its waste and is willing to pay out the wah-zoo for it. An enterprising mall agent has four anchor stores and a cadre of food court vendors ready to go. Some one wants to turn it into a glorious day-spa for the super rich. Do you:
Build an enormous estate for yourself there with high walls so nobody can enjoy the view except you?
All choices are artificially constrained and really stupid here! My real preference is: it's my bloody property, and I'll do what I bloody want to. Let's hear it for individual rights... Heh.

There's an election. You:
Vote for whoever pisses you off less.
If you need to solemnly analyze the requirements for every public office, you need a life. Most folks running for public office will most likely do as well as any other for (say) County Auditor. Can you say "expected average?" I knew you could... Apply judgement as needed.

You're a criminal lawyer. One of your best married friends has just been busted smoking from a two-ton truckload of crack with an underaged prostitute and wiping his ass with the Constitution printed on an American flag after secretly cashing in his company's stock right before they declared bankruptcy and stashing all the cash along with all the money he embezzled over 15 years in an offshore, secret account. He wants you to defend him in a Not Guilty plea. What do you do?
Defend him vigorously for eighty-five percent of whatever he's got stashed. "That video tape and signed confession mean nothing!"
Honestly, some crimes are worse than others. I see no great damage to the public weal from the above charges, so why should I give a crap? For 85% of the stash, I'll go for it.
The claim that "everyone is entitled to a defense" is a crock if some dirtbag raped a 12-year old to death, and then confessed to his laywer. After that the only thing he's entitled to is a hole in the ground.

You're thinking about hiring a housekeeper. Out of seven applicants, who do you pick?
Nobody. You can clean your own damn house.
Pretty much. But if I were really flush, and really busy, I wouldn't use any of the standards mentioned. They're stupid. I would try to take care of them (financially). I've done too much cleaning in my own life to disrespect someone that does it for a living. Hell, a good butler is a precious thing! :))))

On the homeless person, I wavered between buying her food and inviting her to my home. When I was younger I was more apt to offer homeless people a place sleep, but I'm a father now and can rarely do that.

For slow service in a restaurant, I usually smile and say "don't worry about it." Except I'm also apt to walk out if I've waited too long. In any case, I rarely blame the wait staff if they've made efforts to come talk to me and let me know what's going on.

For the game show prize, I wavered between the Hummer and whatever was most expensive. A hummer would be much fun, but I'd probably sell it after six months. And that's the thing: I didn't particularly want any of the prizes, so the best strategy is to pick the most expensive and sell it on eBay.

I've been hit on by gay people, and I'm always flattered. I usually offer friendship.

On the land, I cursed my sense of responsibility.

On voting: I think it's everyone's responsibility to learn as much about the issues as you can. Indeed, if you don't do that, then I think it's your duty to stay out of the damned voting booth!

On the scumbag, I wavered between perfunctory defense or a strong defense and trying to screw him out of his money to give it back to people.

I wish I could afford a housecleaner. I hate cleaning. I'd look first and foremost for someone I got good personal vibes from.

I am not 29% Republican. I am 100% Republican. From the responses I've read this test was obvoiusly designed by some xenophobic, narrow-minded liberal. The only way to score 50%-75% Repbulican is to choose every single nasty, mean answer that THIS test designer PROFFERS.

Well, I'll be Pure Evil!

Judging by the number of people who scored 29% I'd say it was written by someone advertising "The West Wing."

I found that really offensive and so did my liberal yet independent Mom. I took that test and my answers were not at all nasty and yet I am a Hate Monger.

71% Republican

First off I'm 100% Republican and I am a really nice person. My mom saw my answers and was shocked to see me labeled a Hate-Monger. She picked some pretty rude choices on purpose and was labeled a Saint!!! Very interesting....

Well, now she sees how Left-wing extremists label decent people.

Who waits 45 minutes for their food without buttonholing the waiter or the manager? Wally Peepers?

Rosemary,

You mentioned something I first learned in 1994. That was Democrats' initial taste of minority party status. The first thing they do when debating any type of conservative is call them some pejorative name.
