Academic agent's bias shows on some of the economic stuff
Yeah, I didn't know what some of them were really supposed to mean
I was surprised I got more blank slate than hereditary, probably partially because I said strongly disagree to a lot of the race stuff
I also remember there was some question like "Culture is a major influence on people" or something really mild like that that I would have to say I agree with then a really extreme statement like "race is culture, culture is race" that I would have to say disagree so I feel like that biases toward more blank slate
makes sense
I typically don't put much stock in tests like this, as they always strip out lots of detail in favor of the macro view, and there is almost no nuance
all those weebs and furries....
lol
I reserve the right to hunt furries.
Seems close enough.
I think this quiz makes a few mistakes that are common to other quizzes, and a few new ones
but I like the idea
Err, it looks like I found it, I think.
Mine just gave me a hammer and sickle... the red and yellow should have clued me in...
lel
so the two things that primarily get me are the fat person question, and the conflation between personal belief and political position
it probably shouldnt be labeled a political test, really
What about the fat person question?
well the implication is that you're leaning more blank slate if you think that fat people didnt get fat via genetics
but the data we have suggests that unless you're one of a very small group of people, you probably got fat through behavoiur. Gentics can play a role, but the thing that will turn you into a hamplanet is your own decision to stuff 5 extra big macs in your mouth on the daily
I'm sure there that can be an influence, yes, but obesity in America is largely due to lack of self-control, and the free market creating cheap, quick, and shitty food at convenience rate.
> you probably got fat through behavior
Agreed.
the issue I take is that it's not really an opinion thing, it's fact. So for it to be thrown in there is a bit odd. I guess because there are some people who think theyre helpless to not be fat?
Ah, I see where you're going with this.
A large amount of people lack self-discipline in whatever form or shape that may take.
well, just in the context of the quiz itself
Right.
I think genetics play a large part in many aspects of development and later life. It *can* even influence behaviour
and so in a roundabout way you could try to argue that it isn't your fault
