So many lines. Anyone having trouble looking at it? --Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 04:37, 27 January 2008 (EST)

I am more of an extremist than any of you! (By a fair margin, too)[edit]

My Moral Matrix thing came out as -3 (on moral order), 8 (on moral rules). The axes on the graph are a bit odd for this test, so I'll reproduce the thing as a little text artwork:

.....0..|........

Haha! I will be expecting some kind of trophy. <blink></blink> <blink></blink> 14:57, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
The 8 is impressive - not so sure about that -3 though. But too judgmental for me.--Bobbing up 15:05, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
I loved the afterword thing where it said "0% are close to you. 0% are more socialist." I've forgotten what both the scales mean, though, so I don't know why I'm nearer to center (-3) on that particular one. <blink></blink> <blink></blink> 15:11, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
You Might like to calculate distance from origin (use πthagoras) & angle instead! SusanG  ContribsTalk 15:16, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
...Why? <blink></blink> <blink></blink> 15:20, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
I think you'll find that I'm (& Spica) nearer the upper left corner (i.e. further out) than you (although PFoster is farthest out almost without a doubt. SusanG  ContribsTalk 15:38, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
I still think mine looks the most unique. Plus, on the Y axis I am unbeatable. <blink></blink> <blink></blink> 15:48, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

How do I find my spot? --CPAdmin1 15:39, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

Go here. Have fun! <blink></blink> <blink></blink> 15:43, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
Actually it would be most interesting if you would be prepared to report back your score, as I suspect the test may be biased towards the top left.--Bobbing up 15:46, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
We could do with some more conservative data on the chart, as well. <blink></blink> <blink></blink> 15:48, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

I did think that the test was slightly biased. Particularly, the use of the word "society" to refer to government. CPAdmin1 15:58, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
Not sure what you mean. Could you explain a little? <blink></blink> <blink></blink> 16:03, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
Well, society =/= government. Society is the people, not the government. Also, I found that some of the questions did not have a good answer. CPAdmin1 16:10, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
I just took it again, this time I read the answer explanations on all the answers. This time I scored (4, -7.5) --CPAdmin1 16:24, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
You're clearly a conservative zealot! Taste my steel! :) <blink></blink> <blink></blink> 16:30, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
Hmmm... I've been reading the "learn more" parts of the site for a few minutes, and I have come to suspect that my score on moral order (-3) might be misleading. Judging by the explanation of "structured moral order" -- in which some people take clear authority over others, and there are assumed to be objective moral values that should not be questioned -- I think they must have shifted me more over to that side based on my answer to the "About God" question. Thoughts? <blink></blink> <blink></blink> 16:03, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
It's been a while since I did this but if I remember we were all encouraged to read the background stuff before doing the test so that we understood the nature of some of the questions.--Bobbing up 16:21, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
Very probable. <blink></blink> <blink></blink> 16:30, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

Awww, I took this again and my "moral rules" apparently are unstable: -2.5 on Moral Order and 3.5 on Moral Rules (without hints) and -2 on Moral Order and -1 on Moral Rules (with hints). It was at -3/1.5 according to the image. NightFlareStill doesn't have a (nonstub) RWW article. 20:06, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
The answers don't seem to mean what they say. Or at least what the hints say they mean. --CPAdmin1 20:12, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

4,-7.5[edit]

That is CPAdmin1's score. Wow, just wow! That's really skirting the edge of the Schlafly event horizon (did I just make up a new term). By the way, where would Andy be? I'd guess 6.5,-8. Too much? --Edgerunner76Your views are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter 13:18, 22 July 2008 (EDT)
