Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
That's my assessment as well. It comes across as a parody quiz like the belief o matic was where my inclinations were that of an orthodox Jew at the time I took it.
Good harmless fun.

Does Your "Lifestyle" Predict Your Political Beliefs?

Good harmless fun.
You're just a left winger who has failed to admit to what you truly are.

I scored "genuinely in the middle." I'd say that's pretty close but I would probably say I am a left-leaning centrist. Keep in mind the test did not only ask "lifestyle" questions. It also asked about beliefs, though in a somewhat indirect way.
Agreed. I suspect part of the reason I scored as leaning right was because of a few questions where I chose a preference to "do the right thing."

I found many of the question a bit weird and pointless. I don't like carrots (I picked the orange one on a coin flip); I don't want neither a minivan or a motorcycle (are any form of personnal vehicle, I walk or use public transportation); when I visit, I do all of the three first options; I couldn't care less about who is using the streets in front of my house, etc.
I ended up with a 60/40 in favor of left wing policies. It's a bit more moderate than I would have expected a more solidly left leaning stance, probably something like 75/25.

What? Me worry?
You may be right. I guess I should schedule the operation to have my ***** removed....
I've neither moved right or left... My political beliefs are always governed by the idea of what is reasonable. What I view as the most unreasonable idea is someone claiming my mental territory -- my mind is mine. That means I don't have to adapt to your views if they don't make sense to me.
There is the the "left" which I would call "classically liberal" that I'm completely supportive of, but the modern liberal / progressive ideology is garbage to me. It believes in imaginary things like identities and reinforces inequality as a boogeyman to push it's agenda points. I'm not down with that or fooled by it...
We live in a time where the only reason you aren't doing something is your own laziness or lack of will to do so. Color, gender, or anything else won't keep you back. Sometimes people don't know how good they got it right now... seriously..
As long as Dems are courting that imaginary "struggle" I'll reject them. But, it's worth noting that no one is "completely left" or "completely right". Some conservatives may believe in limited government, but certainly see the value in aiding the unfortunate with benefits like welfare, social security, government run healthcare, etc. Kinda funny on the healthcare -- most conservatives aren't really against it, they just think that Obamacare sucks and jacked up the costs. I tend to agree..

No. But its an interesting question. It seems to me that I run into conservative Christian men who have had a lifestyle of wanting to have a sexual lover instead of relationship, kind of like what I have been talking to my friend about where you just have a cuddling buddy or sex buddy instead of relationship, or conservative Christian men who think its ok to live together first.
I don't see anything wrong with that lifestyle if they are not having an affair on their wives if they're not married why not? But their Republican conservative ideas and the church is against it, so quite often many of them do not agree with their own politics and church when it comes to sexual life style, so what that those people?

Totally with you on this.
I'm really fairly extreme, in a nuanced sort of way. But my morality and world view doesn't match any of usual patterns.

How did you get that and I get mildly Left leaning?

I'm far Left (-8.5,-8 on the political compass), and this puts me as mildly Left leaning.
Just tried it again,
Keep in mind that when my sixth form politics teacher asked the class "what would you do if you saw someone burning a British flag?" my responses was "Give them an American flag..."
Somewhat Left-Wing, 65%:35%. I blame Corbyn for dragging me to the right since I would have expected that I would have been much more left-wing. But then the options were a little limiting.
