Ok. With all these data points, maybe Bill will get all excited and make us a chart reflecting the BN populous.

What do they mean when they say "our race"? How am I to know what race the people are who wrote the test?

It doesn't matter, silly. It's a word choice scenario used to interject opinion into the question without being obvious. It's phrased so that people who identify strongly (or don't identify strongly) with racial issues will immediately know how to answer.

Or it could also just mean "whitey".

Guess I'm a Leftist Libertarian (?)
Whooda thunk...

btw - just what the heck do these really mean?
I'm getting nothing but button-pushing buzzwords out of these questions:

If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified.

There is now a worrying fusion of information and entertainment.

A genuine free market requires restrictions on the ability of predator multinationals to create monopolies.

Making peace with the establishment is an important aspect of maturity.

It is important that my child's school instills religious values.

It's fine for society to be open about sex, but these days it's going too far.

I'm surprised it's as far to the right as it is. So, I s'pose I'm *almost* a lefty.
You are a Libertarian. And closer to being a righty than a lefty.

You seem to be amused.

Ok. I took it again just to make sure I didn't answer something the way I thought I would. Not a huge variance.

I think there's 1-2 questions I might have chosen the "strongly" whereas the first time I just picked agree or disagree.
