I'm a Traditional Liberal
By Byron LaMasters
The Harvard Institute of Politics has an interesting "Political Personality Test" for college students. They divide students into four categories: Traditional Liberals, Secular Centrists, Religious Centrists and Traditional Conservatives. Anyway, it's fun to play with a little bit.
Take the test, here.

I got Religious Centrist ... go figure.
Okay, little tests like that can be fun. But it's wacked when I answer "neither agree or disagree" on 5 of the topics, yet I'm classified as a traditional liberal.
I gather that it ignores rankings of 3, thus giving greater value to the other scores.
Bizarre, insulting and spurious that it equates "Religious" with "Homophobic".
That's the only question that separates me from "traditional Liberal" and "Religious Centrist".
The questions about school choice and "Moral Direction" is also keyed to "Religious" identification. How these issues can be indications of religiosity is beyond me.
