Chartsme.com Asks you 27 non-political questions to see your political leanings (1 Viewer)

Your brain is a Democrat

Conservative (34%) Liberal(66%)

weird test - not sure how me being grossed out by medical stuff relates to political leanings, but probably pretty accurate.

 
24 Conservative/76 Liberal - brain is a Democrat.  Shocked me.  I thought I was more conservative - and I definitely thought I was Libertarian with Conservative leanings.

 
Seems abut right. Always felt pretty middle of the road. 


Your brain is a Republican 


Conservative (55%)Liberal (45%)


 



 
How does this work?

A 2014 study concluded that people who were more prone to disgust are more conservative and tend to align with the republican party. But, why?

Some scientists believe it's ancestral and that the adverse reactions were used to protect primitive ancestors from contamination and disease. This way a person wouldn't confuse drinking water with dirty pond scum.

The study measured participants' brain response to "disgusting" imagery using an MRI. The study could predict party affiliation with up to 98% confidence. The questionaire on chartsme.com uses Jonathan Haidt's disgust scale in lieu of MRI and imagery, so results are likely far less accurate. Watch TED Talk to learn more or read "Yuck!: The Nature and Moral Significance of Disgust".
Well, the results were pretty far off base in my case. :shrug:

57 liberal, 43 percent republican. Seems about right.

anybody figure out how this works?

 
I took it and got 65% liberal (I'm an independent).  Then I read their explanation and realized there was no way my 100% Democrat but easily disgusted wife would end up on the liberal side of things. Sure enough, 65% conservative for her.

Not buying our relative scores in our case, but it was fun to see her get mad at her score.

 
74% liberal, 26% conservative. Not sure exactly how it works, but for the disgust stuff I kept it toward mild except for 1 or 2.

Edit: Just clicked the link and that is the exact methodology, more disgust = more conservative.

My brain is a Democrat because I'm not squeamish?  I respond to the thought of Hillary becoming president with extreme disgust. :rolleyes:
