0% tension

Though, some of the questions really cannot be properly answered with an agree or disagree.

20% - 2 out of 3 of the "issues" were semantics...

Read the responses after the test, it is obvious this is a manufactured biased based survey. The questions lead people into a position that the test reviewer wishes. Its much like a person manufacturing a line of question in an argument narrowing a persons responses so they can turn around and proclaim the person is conflictive with their own position and therefore invalid. Garbage in, garbage out.

I agree that there are problems with the test and that it is biased. The questions are designed to favor atheists, libertarians, moral relativists. Still, I think the answers do a good job of getting people to think about their beliefs a little more carefully, something which is good for all of us.

40% here. But that's all bologna. I can agree that all life is important and STILL believe that situational euthenasia (sp?) can still be a legitimate option for some. Just like I may disagree that "if it doesn't hurt anyone else it's okay" but still essentially believe in overall individual rights.

Life is not finite... meaning everything can't be lumped into 30 (or so) questions. If we don't take the time to look at each event as an individual event, how do we progress as a society?

Interesting nonetheless. And so far, I'm the most inconsistent.

I agree that there appeared to be some bias to me too.
