Jumbo Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Every time I see on of these in the tailgate, and read the responses from posters, it supports what's accepted as endlessly repeated and verifiable fact in my profession. People frequently misrepresent themselves (i.e. lie about or posture or self-deceive) on such surveys. People often answer for how they want to be perceived in manners that often don't reflect their most genuine feelings or thoughts. That's why state of the art assessment tools like the MMPI 2 have such extensive attention devoted to identifying and factoring in such falsehoods common to such self-reporting. :evilg::pfft: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 You are a center-left moderate social libertarian. Left: 1.91, Libertarian: 1.01 Foreign Policy: On the left side are pacifists and anti-war activists. On the right side are those who want a strong military that intervenes around the world. You scored: 1.27 Culture: Where are you in the culture war? On the liberal side, or the conservative side? This scale may apply more to the US than other countries. You scored: -2.31 Not surprising either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger187126 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Every time I see on of these in the tailgate, and read the responses from posters, it supports what's accepted as endlessly repeated and verifiable fact in my profession. People frequently misrepresent themselves (i.e. lie about or posture or self-deceive) on such surveys (among other situations, of course). People often answer as they think they should for how they want to be perceived in manners that often don't reflect their most genuine feelings or thoughts. That's why state of the art assessment tools like the MMPI 2 have such extensive attention devoted to identifying and factoring in such falsehoods common to such self-reporting. i had a roommate in college who swore up and down he was a libertarian, that's all he talked about. he didn't actually really touch on any ideologies, just wanted to make it a point that everyone knew he was a libertarian. we got so sick of it i gave him a 100 question test similar to this one and it amounted to a 12% the little snippit if you were in the 10-15 range was that "you love to tell people you're a libertarian, but you actually don't know what it's about. you just constantly proclaim it, to the annoyance of your peers" or something along those lines. we all had a good laugh, well except him, about it. either way, while i was reading the questions you could tell based on the options which was a libertarian view and which wasn't. had he known enough libertarian-ism or however you would say it he could have crafted his answers to match.

twa Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Ok, if twa is a centrist moderate, then the quiz was written by Rick Santorum and Glenn Beck. Every one of these things I take puts me there,.....ya'll just misinterpret my positions because of the extreme bias in your nature. Jumbo...I certainly don't have that character flaw,but am not above letting others see what they want to.:evilg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you not even considered that twa may have been misrepresenting himself during his entire tenure here, and been completely honest on the survey?

Jumbo Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 tiger, the short version, particularly in terms of a venue like this when it comes to politics, is that many people are often more polar than what they'll describe themselves on these tests. They'll be smart enough to know what answers are a little more "acceptable" to the broad spectrum of society and yet totally disavow their leanings. And in order to have desired credibility (though they usually would deny this care about this), they shift some of those answers in that direction to achieve that goal. In such circumstances, it's (to them) a way to "gain more credibility" (even if just in their own self-estimation) than if they just admit to themselves or others how rigidly set in one leaning or the other they actually are. ---------- Post added June-22nd-2012 at 02:19 PM ---------- Knowing you to be a clinical professional, I'm surprised to see you jump to such a conclusion.

Jumbo Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 My call is that if I gave Riggo-toni an MMPI 2 his validity scores would be of a nature to make the profile most useful. As one o f my role models (Clint) would say, he is truly a straight shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
