Take it yourself and hopefully share the results here. ^

Some of those questions were tough and a lot of them I think I voted based on alternate objections.

eg: "Multinational companies are unethically exploiting the plant genetic resources of developing countries."
I agree on the basis that copyrighting natural resources is unethical in the first place. Not sure if that's what they were after............


I think I'm exactly the same as Arglax.

Yes, some of the questions were terribly misleading and could be interpreted different ways:

"If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations."
-> "If". What should your answer be if you don't think economic globalisation is inevitable? Yes, you could answer it, but it's still a bit confusing and awkward.

"Because corporations cannot be trusted to voluntarily protect the environment, they require regulation."
-> Same goes here

"People with serious inheritable disabilities should not be allowed to reproduce."
-> What is "serious"?

"What goes on in a private bedroom between consenting adults is no business of the state."
-> Is this about sexual activity? For all I know, they could be cooking meth in their bedroom.

I also believe there should be a 'no opinion' button. I'm not that keen on economics, so my answers were based on very little knowledge about the subject. Maybe if I knew more, I would have a defined opinion.

Usually, these kinds of tests are bullshit. Besides, how exactly did they pinpoint the political compass of historical figures?
