are you a closet canadian?

Apparently I am, according to my results on a test I found at Dave Pollard's site. Results are plotted on a grid similar to the one for the Political Compass test. It has been used to compare the social values of Canadians and Americans. I am not surprised that there are lots of differences. Pollard writes about the results of the research:


The median scores for Americans tend slightly to the upper left, far more deferential to tradition and authority, and with a more status-conscious, competitive, survival & security bent than their neighbours to the North. Canadians are more skeptical of authority and tradition (men especially), and more idealistic and consensus-seeking (women especially).

Take the test yourself and see where you fit on the grid. I am way down deep in the lower right corner.

way up in the upper right quadrant. You must have answered yes to all the men are superior questions. That whole box for me was totally disagree.

I'm about as far down as you can go and as far right as you can go (in the quadrant--not politically!) I feel like the questions sort of manipulated me into that corner without letting me explain the whole picture. But I'm not unhappy with the result. However, the only test that really strikes a chord with me is the Myers-Briggs. (I'm an INTJ).
