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
 

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:

Superstition-Stereotypy

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

Projectivity

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?
