F-Scale test and other fun quizzes!
 

I know you guys love doing quizzes

Re: F-Scale test
 

Re: F-Scale test
 

Heh. I am pretty average

Re: F-Scale test
 

apparently I'm cynical and have "generalized hostility to things not in line with one's personal values, and the devaluation of human life and tendencies" lol

Re: F-Scale test
 

Your average citizen here

Re: F-Scale test
 

Re: F-Scale test
 

im surprised tbh (well i guess not with the fact that my authoritarian submission is like 2x my aggression but alas)

Re: F-Scale test
 

Re: F-Scale test
 

damn lad o_O What did that end up being, like 50% less authoritarian? xd



literal god combo right there

Re: F-Scale test
 

lol I thought this question was weird too. I answered "slightly agree" cause when I was a kid I had this weird urge to tumble myself down the stairs, is that the same thing?

Re: F-Scale test
 

I read it as "some people are naturally going to want to do dangerous or Daredevil acts for thrill"

some people call this phenomenon "the call of the void"

Re: F-Scale test
 

17.4% less than avg apparently

edit: i interpreted that one kinda like "suicidal ideation is just a thing people have"

Re: F-Scale test
 

some men just want to watch the world burn

Re: F-Scale test
 

fuck it I'm out, these questions never needed to be asked.



we're living in the worst timeline imaginable.

Someone, somewhere believes the statements we responded to.

Keep that in mind.

Re: F-Scale test
 

I wonder if others had their results skewwed by the ambiguous wording.

Like this:


The last thing I could possibly believe, but in the future sure. Astrology could explain a lot of things. That does not mean a single explanation would be accurate or scientifically valid. But by the wording, I had no choice.

Astology can explain all it fucking wants, so can you or I, that doesn't make it any more or less right.
This is one reason why the test is for the doomed.

Fuck whoever thought this test was a good idea.
They are the literal foundation of garbage.

Re: F-Scale test
 

how do people even get scores above like 30 on this thing

Re: F-Scale test
 

I interpretted it as saying that things like depression are a thing that is just inherently part of us/can be there, and isn't caused by circumstances and whatnot, but hell I have no idea

Re: F-Scale test
 

You know you can leave it in the middle as "neither agree nor disagree", however, I'm pretty sure it was implied that the question meant whether ot not Astrology can be used to accurately predict or explain phenomenon.

damn tell me how you really feel

Re: F-Scale test
 

I might just overthink everything lol, I thought the question was to judge how much faith and optimism you place into things that you don't know are for sure right/correct

Re: F-Scale test
 

hmm. Definitely wasn't expecting this.

Re: F-Scale test
 

Thats actually a smart and logical way of understanding the question's purpose. I wouldn't say you overthought it any more than Moria did. I think he would have been better to leave that question neutral, considering it wasn't clear to him what it was asking.

Re: F-Scale test
 

wow never would have guessed that I'm cynical and paranoid

Re: F-Scale test
 

I think the high level of Cynicism recording in this test is based on our collective ability to ostracize people for not following social expectation / etiquette, like when someone is seen as rude, or annoying, or can't be bothered to use the urinal on the other side of the bathroom instead of the one next to me when they're all vacant. The wording and generalization of some of the categories here are weird.

"Destructiveness-Cynicism
Generalized hostility to things not in line with one's personal values, and the devaluation of human life and tendencies.

Your Score: High"

Definitely wouldn't consider myself openly destructive / cynical based on that kind of definition they are chasing. I'll have reservations within that, like the example I mentioned. But, I don't really think it defines me.

Re: F-Scale test
 

Re: F-Scale test
 

I got average on everything except I got 67% on anti-degeneracy which apparently is high
which I guess means most people are degenerates

Re: F-Scale test
 

The test itself is almost as bad as the ideals being covered.

Anyway

Re: F-Scale test
 

What the fuck is "anti-degeneracy" and why do you have to keep posting nazi quizzes

Re: F-Scale test
 

Hmm... definitely wasn't expecting myself to score that high on the cynicism and superstition scales. I'm gonna take this test with a grain of salt like I usually do with most online quizzes.

Re: F-Scale test
 

...And here are the definitions of each score from the quiz, if anyone's interested:

Conventionalism
Rigid adherence to conventional, middle-class values.

Authoritarian Submission
Submissive, uncritical attitude towards the idealized authorities of the group.

Authoritarian Aggression
Tendency to be alert to, condemn, reject, and to want to punish people who violate conventional values.

Anti-Intraception
Opposition to the subjective and the imaginative, as well as a dislike of abstract art and tender-minded people.

Superstition-Stereotypy
Superstitious beliefs about the determinants of the individual's fate and the disposition to think in rigid categories.

Power-Toughness
Preoccupation with dominance-submission and leader-follower dynamics, as well as identification with power figures and the tendency to want to assert strength and toughness.

Destructiveness-Cynicism
Generalized hostility to things not in line with one's personal values, and the devaluation of human life and tendencies.

Projectivity
Disposition to suspect that wild and dangerous things go behind closed doors, that one's group is losing control and that traditional society is headed towards destruction.

Anti-Degeneracy
Concern with the sexual "goings-on" of others and resistance to sexual degeneracy within one’s group.

Total Score
Your total F score, meaning your receptivity to authoritarian/fascist beliefs.

Re: F-Scale test
 

THE QUIZ IS A NAZI!!

see how silly you sound?

Re: F-Scale test
 

Yeah I suppose I'm a bit cynical, but at the same time, people being selfish is kinda factual

I think anyone under 20% on that category is probably prone to getting scammed/conned which are real things that exist in reality.

Re: F-Scale test
 

a quick google search shows me this quiz was designed by a dude who was forced into exile by the nazi party for being a non-aryan and anti-nazi lol cmon son
also

"Working for the newly relocated Institute for Social Research, Adorno collaborated on influential studies of authoritarianism, antisemitism and propaganda that would later serve as models for sociological studies the Institute carried out in post-war Germany."

Re: F-Scale test
 

all I care about is not hitting the F-Scale on my exam today

Re: F-Scale test
 

dont think too much of it, hihi91 was just blasted on that gay weed when he thought it was nazis

Re: F-Scale test
 

No

Re: F-Scale test
 

I didn't mean made by a nazi when I said nazi quiz

Re: F-Scale test
 

If anyones curious I got destroyed but probably passed, lets just say I put the C in C++

Re: F-Scale test
 

Its never been about what is implied, its about what is explicitly stated. It asked if astology could explain things, of course it fucking can. I can explain things too, even you can explain things. That doesn't make explanation connate with logically sound or even accurate in the slightest. The whole test is a bunk on poor logic.

Re: F-Scale test
 

You're a fault.

Re: F-Scale test
 

What does he mean by this?

Re: F-Scale test
 

does the question about homosexuality refer to same sex attraction or homosexual acts

Re: F-Scale test
 

Are you referring to the one where its like "homosexuals are hardly better than criminals and ought to be severly punished""

its referring to homosexuals, those are the words we;re given. just gonna have to decide for yourself what that word means to you

Re: F-Scale test
 

I don't think I disagree with the results entirely, as a few of the traits they were testing for aren't exclusive to fascism

A bunch of leading/ambiguous questions though: "People convicted of sex crimes should receive punishment worse than prison, like being publicly whipped or killed"

---which is like I think that sex crimes should have significantly higher penal consequences but public whipping doesn't achieve justice

Questionnaire design certainly has come a long way since the 50's, I suppose

Re: F-Scale test
 

I'm noticing that a lot of yall are pretty destructive/cynical

Re: F-Scale test
 

(thats one of the traits i was most interesting in getting a baseline read for users of this forum, based on their hostility towards different opinions, certain users especially)

Re: F-Scale test
 

I assume below 50% means below average and vice versa

Re: F-Scale test
 

that is, you're being measured against an average and not some idealized baseline of what "average fascism" is

Re: F-Scale test
 

Re: F-Scale test
 

I'm convinced you're a computer program

Re: F-Scale test
 

such as yourself...? idgi

Re: F-Scale test
 

In what ways?

beep boop

Re: F-Scale test
 

you ever see me stoop to using slurs over and over again against those I disagree with or are u mixed up?
(btw, the person knows who they are and i'm over it so pls don't allow this to stir up more drama)

look at my test results :^)

btw, you literally have met me in real life, if you actually think I am a fascist or nazi or destructively hostile, then cool, i guess I know where you stand now. its two-faced as fuck though imo to join a circlejerk against me with people I've never met in person, when you actually have personal experience dating back to probably almost 2012 of who I am.

Re: F-Scale test
 

based on how I remember the test, to get results that low you'd probably have to be okay with like murder or something

edit:

nah this site is bogus dude

Re: F-Scale test
 

he did say beep boop

Re: F-Scale test
 

don't you think its a bit disingenuous to crop out "your personality is:" part?


do the star wars test next!!!

Re: F-Scale test
 

I retook the test with a bit more emphasis on some of my answers

I dislike the concept of scalar answers; either you agree or you don't, so I only moved one over left and right last time

Re: F-Scale test
 

it asked so many questions about stealing what


oh and I guess r2d2 is adhd
makes sense since I am add

Re: F-Scale test
 

for posterity i did the star wars test too

Re: F-Scale test
 

transgender attitude test https://www.idrlabs.com/transgender/test.php

(it was more moderate than I expected)

Re: F-Scale test
 

this is the only thing I was alluding to, it didn't sound like you were acknowledging that your "Destructiveness-Cynicism" score was high (and your following response confused me for this reason as well)

Re: F-Scale test
 

sorry that wasn't very clear at all (to me) and i don't mean to jump down ur throat if thats what you meant my dude.

Re: F-Scale test
 

s'all good I could have been more specific definitely

Re: F-Scale test
 

fwiw i acknowledge i scored high in that category because I WILL vehemently defend my beliefs, but I never go to the point of actual "destruction". at least I hope not. i wouldn't completely disregard a friend or peer for their beliefs, or else the divergent political opinions that me and mellonxcollie hold would have burned that friendship long ago (just one example of many but its the most apparent one, to me, because myself and her do agree to disagree in some aspects)


sorry for over-reacting, just don't wanna lose a pal to some crap like that

Trump Factor Test
Your Trump Factor is 18%, which makes you a Weak Donald.
result icon

Oh golly. This isn't a sight that would please the Donald. What a weak and scrawny Trump Factor you have, entirely lacking in resolve or excitement. You've got to have excitement or you won't have energy. You've got to have energy, or you won't be strong. If you're not strong, soon you're not even gonna have a Trump Factor at all – you're just gonna have nothing.

Re: F-Scale test
 

okay as dumb as these are they are pretty fun

Re: F-Scale test
 

EVERYONE LOVES QUIZZES and i think we should just do a lot of the dumb/interesting ones and share the results if not for fun but to get to know eachother all a bit better<3

this test showed me that I am not really abreast of the current climate change discussion more than anything, which shows me that the internet is doing more yelling than talking

Re: F-Scale test and other fun quizzes!
 

https://www.idrlabs.com/neighborhood...rence/test.php



this one is fun too it's based on questions about your ideal neighborhood then turns that into your political stance because that's how politics works

Re: F-Scale test
 

100% agree, i wasn't sure how to answer half of these honestly because I'm not well informed enough, so there has got to be something better that can be done in order to provide the information needed to make these decisions intelligently rather than simply demanding action

Re: F-Scale test and other fun quizzes!
 

i would say this test is correct.

Re: F-Scale test and other fun quizzes!
 

most of the answers in this question, especially about transgender and things like hybrid cars, i was right in the middle. i don't think having an abundance of those things would change my view on the neighbourhood. i have no opinion, and definitely don't DISAGREE to have them in my neighbourhood. ultimately, it doesn't affect me.

Re: F-Scale test and other fun quizzes!
 

in this case I felt like some of the questions weren't nuanced enough, but I felt like overall I was able to describe my ideal neighborhood (not caring about hybrid cars, but caring about bicycles because I dislike cars and not necessarily caring about their effect on the global environment)

Re: F-Scale test
 

There is tons of information on climate change. The reason you aren't up to date on it is because of activist campaigns by the fossil fuel, plastics, transporation, etc... industries to misinform you. Similar lobbying interests also have sway in news media, and you won't find accurate reporting in either American nor Canadian news for this reason.

It is naive to blame this on the people demanding action rather than the people misinforming you.

Re: F-Scale test
 

the industry doesn't control my facebook friends posting greta thunberg and polar bears everywhere

and something about buffalo being safer

this is 100% an area where people are trying to make emotional appeals and ignoring facts

Re: F-Scale test and other fun quizzes!
 

No idea why comply with Kyoto isn't 100%

EDIT: I think I'm like significantly more of a skeptic but I think we should try to address climate change more. I just don't believe its really going to happen.

Re: F-Scale test and other fun quizzes!
 

this quiz is old hat now i see

Re: F-Scale test
 

It may surprise you to know that kids Greta's age will inherit a planet that does not have food, potable water, nor an organized global society by the time they are in their 50s if we continue on a business as usual pathway. In the worst outcomes, we will have a planet that emits enough hydrogen sulfide to kill most vertebrate life, like the end-Permian mass extinction.

It may also surprise you to know that polar bears are experiencing extensive range reduction which is a precursor to extinction events.

But sure, go off about the facebook memes.

Re: F-Scale test
 

this does in fact surprise me

polar bear thing is old news

Re: F-Scale test and other fun quizzes!
 

Stay a while and listen to what's happening to our oceans

Re: F-Scale test and other fun quizzes!
 

gonna have to pass on the hour and a half video
I can't even watch a 10 minute video most of the time unless it's really entertaining
