Can TIME Predict Your Politics?
See how your preferences in dogs, Internet browsers, and 10 other items predict your partisan leanings.

Social scientists find many questions about values and lifestyle that have no obvious connection to politics can be used to predict a person’s ideology. Even a decision as trivial as which browser you’re using to read this article is imbued with clues about your personality. Are you on a Mac or PC? Did you use the default program that came with the computer or install a new one?

In the following interactive, we put together 12 questions that have a statistical correlation to a person’s political leanings, even if the questions themselves are seemingly apolitical. At the end of this (completely anonymous) quiz, we’ll use your responses to guess your politics.

"Conservative qualities

I disagree here.   Cats are able to crap in a litter box, like independent little republicans.  Ignore them for a week and they're fine.

Dogs, on the other hand, will drop a deuce all over your kitchen floor if you don't walk them every few hours.  Just like needy, dependent, libs, to throw a shitfit if you don't give them the handout of your time/attention every few hours.

Dogs are definitely libs.

"Conservative qualities

Conservatives prefer action movies, packed with liberal movie stars that party with Obama.

Liberals prefer documentaries, packed with science, numbers, and other things they teach in fancy far-left lie factories like middle school and whatever comes after that.

I watch alot of documentry's. I watched that BlackFish before CNN ran it into the ground...I want to watch the full version of Chris Bell's one on nutty sports parents "Trophy Kids". I try and stay away from the political ones.

I think it is accurate, but slightly skewed. The last question assumes everyone taking the quiz is American.

[24KT]

I don't think the options for answering gives you much leeway.
ie: Just because I have a messy desk doesn't mean I like it that way. It just means I'm busy, and prioritize other things over straightening pencils. I actually prefer a neat desk, ...I just prolly wouldn't be able to find anything, ...but that's how I prefer it.  

And then too it pre-supposes people approach similar situations from the same POV.

I'm more into action / adventure movies than documentaries only because I'm fascinated by the techniques used to create them. I'd much rather learn something from a good documentary, ...but that same knowledge can be acquired from books. I don't need someone else putting it together for me, when I can connect my own dots, ...but the film making process of action movies,... tight shots, cut-aways, pyro, FX is fascinating, even if one has to sit through the re-hashing of the same basic story line.
