Jay: What’s She Been Smoking to Get That Way?
 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
You scored as II - The High Priestess. The High Priestess is a card of intuition, instinct and hidden knowledge. She knows all your secrets, you can hide nothing from her. Yet you will never know the secrets she herself protects.If well aspected in a Tarot spread, this card can indicate the use of intuition to solve problems; trust to your instincts. If badly aspected, it can mean suppression and ignoring of such instincts - following your head at the expense of your heart.

I think the 5% I lost was from choosing the wrong one of the two competing correct “Whitey” answers.
Deb: I prefer to call it the mishmash accent.
’Cause it seems like I’ve lived everywhere, man.
| What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland “You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. | |

Jay: Silly Indeed
These are some of the goofiest quizzes ever. It shows in the juxtaposition of results, even without actually seeing the checkbox questions…
|
You Are 20% Democrat |
 If you have anything in common with the Democrat party, it’s by sheer chance. You’re a staunch conservative, and nothing is going to change that! |
|
You Are 20% Republican |
 If you have anything in common with the Republican party, it’s by sheer chance. You’re a staunch liberal, and nothing is going to change that! |
Via Lynn, who probably checked off one more box than me on each quiz.
I guess it shows that I’m a libertarian transhumanist, or constitutional literalist, or temporally displaced founding father, or rationalist who can’t abide that most absurd of bullyish expectations that one must actively choose between two evils, or something.

Jay: YAPT - Yet Another Political Test
Heh. I’m such a radical. Warning: Extremely long, detailed quiz. Via Sharon
|
Radical Libertarian You scored 83% Personal Liberty and 89% Economic Liberty! |
|
A radical libertarian believes in little to no government intervention for both personal and economic matters. A radical libertarian generally believes in one out of these two options: (1) A government that is extremely small and limited to the extent of protecting people’s liberty - this view is known as Minarchism (2) No government at all, in which the private sector takes up all legitimate functions that a government would have - this view is known as Anarcho-Capitalism. Radical Libertarians tend to be strongly opposed to war, police powers, victimless crimes, foreign intervention and what they consider to be a welfare state. Radical Libertarians tend to be inspired by the Austrian school of economics, classical liberalism and 19th century individualist anarchism. Libertarian thought is individualist in nature. They try to protect both personal and economic liberty. Examples of Radical Libertarianism would be Murray Rothbard, H.L. Mencken, Ludwig Von Mises and Lysander Spooner. |
