I don't care if you're Black/Asain/Jewish/Arab, just don't try to get my money


I've been a little bit bored from time to time, but it's nice to be able to see how biased I am and where I fit in spectra. I could link to the obvious1, but really, who cares about that. That is SO last year. So, I'm going to link to the not so obvious. And the down right unobvious2,3. And my summary is; Libertarian. I don't discriminate against Asains, Blacks, Arabs, Jews, and the disabled. I hate Jefferson and Roosevelt (FDR) and Bush equally, but favor Lincoln (a lot), Grant and Carter (a little). I am slightly biased against gays and the overweight, and I associated the sciences with men and the liberal arts with women. I don't think that most of the situations deserve money, or at least certainly not paid to the government (SPOILER - You're not supposed to know this before taking the test - I was about $72,300 below the average of $72,300 and change).

1I did!
2Yes, there's a word for this, but I'm too tired to google it.
3Admittedly, this links to the not so obvious at the end. And a few others.

The spoiler's in white font, so just highlight it and it'll show up.

Commenting on my own posts makes me feel like I started a good discussion. I may just well keep it up.

Hell, why do you think I do it all the time?

On the Compass I'm down in the bottom-left, just a little bit south of Gandhi.

I did Project Implicit a little while back: I came up as "no bias" on most of them, though I put that down at least partly to being really bad at recognising faces and spatial awareness.

It seems I can't "spoiler" text in the comments, so uh, don't read this:

Yeah, I had the same results as Charlie on that one. My average fine was close to zero- though I did think one case came up that deserved punishment, the rest were all, in my book, morally innocent. So, unless I got a quite unrepresentative sample of questions, I CANNOT understand how the average person could judge a seventy thousand dolalr fine appropriate. Is that the Comepnsation Culture? Really?
