Selection Thingies
Jan. 13th, 2004 12:42 amMy presidential selections, apparently:
Your Results:
1. Your ideal theoretical candidate. (100%)
2. Green Party Candidate (77%)
3. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat (68%)
4. Kucinich, Rep. Dennis, OH - Democrat (67%)
5. Sharpton, Reverend Al - Democrat (66%)
6. Clark, Retired General Wesley K., AR - Democrat (66%)
7. Moseley-Braun, Former Senator Carol, IL - Democrat (65%)
8. Socialist Candidate (64%)
9. Libertarian Candidate (56%)
10. Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat (52%)
11. Gephardt, Rep. Dick, MO - Democrat (49%)
12. Edwards, Senator John, NC - Democrat (48%)
13. LaRouche, Lyndon H. Jr. - Democrat (33%)
14. Phillips, Howard - Constitution (24%)
15. Bush, President George W. - Republican (18%)
16. Lieberman, Senator Joe, CT - Democrat (17%)
17. Hagelin, Dr. John - Natural Law (16%)
So my "best" real candidate has 68% compatability. And I wonder why I don't like politics. I am disturbed that my rating of W was that high. Unfortunately, this questionairre tended to ask about things that I either don't care about, don't particularly know, or addressed the wrong aspects of the right questions. Also, the prioritizing option (how important is this to you?) was difficult when that varied for subsets of a single question, especially when it was a "mark all that apply" question and the one answer that was important to me was something I strongly disagree with, and thus was *not* marked. Oh, well. Guess I'm stuck actually reading the candidates' positions on things myself.
I also took this one a couple days ago, on philosophers/-phies:
Your Results:
1. John Stuart Mill (100%)
2. Kant (96%)
3. Aquinas (91%)
4. Ockham (80%)
5. St. Augustine (72%)
6. Spinoza (68%)
7. Jeremy Bentham (68%)
8. Epicureans (66%)
9. Jean-Paul Sartre (66%)
10. Aristotle (62%)
11. Prescriptivism (60%)
12. Ayn Rand (52%)
13. Plato (48%)
14. Stoics (32%)
15. Nel Noddings (24%)
16. Nietzsche (22%)
17. Cynics (12%)
18. David Hume (12%)
19. Thomas Hobbes (0%)
Odd that they use first names for some but not all of the people. Is that Ockham as in Occam's Razor? Good idea, but frequently untrue. Don't really know enough about Kant, though I probably should.
