While flipping through channels I remembered that over a YEAR ago I’d particpated in a meme about whether or not personality traits & political views had correlations (my contribution would be here).  So what did I do?  Why, try to find out wtf the result was!

Luckily, the guy who did it still has the results on his site.  From the sounds of it, everything turned out the way one would reasonably expect — slight correlations shown, but scientifically suspect because of self-sampling.  Eh, was amusing though.  My own personality part confirmed the obvious: I’m an anti-social brain who pours himself into intellectual pursuits to keep from cracking up completely.
Out of curiousity I went ahead and did the Political Compass part of it again.  From the point listed on The Zoo (4.8, -3.8) I’ve since moved to the left & slightly “south” (current spot: 1.8,-5.3).  In retrospect I must’ve been really bored to even bother, because in the time between taking the questionnaire I’ve rejected some of the central premises of it — those being that one can seperate civil liberties & economics without being a complete hypocrite, and that a market order is a “right-wing” thing.

Eh, whatever.  Those few minutes weren’t going to waste themselves.
