Right choices, according to
me:
False: 1,2,4,6,8,10, 12, 14, 15,
16
True: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17, 18
A perfect left-wing score is 18.
The higher your score is, the
more left-leaning you are.
The lower your score is, the
more conservative you are. An avid Trumpite would score 2. He would miss every
right answer except statements #13 and #17.
A score of 10 or thereabouts indicates that you are a moderate. leave comment here

Hmm. I thought I was left, but I am moderate. I got 11 of 18. Could be worse, thank God I’m not a 2!
Hi, Tom
I hope you're doing well! I haven't talk with you in years.
Things are OK here. As I tell people, I'm pretty healthy and I'm not broke yet.
I was saddened by the death of your mother. I enjoyed her very much from our past talks, your past blog posts, and your book.
In my opinion, this is very good checklist -- both the questions and the evaluation. Using "according to me" is a smart move.
Be well. Stay well!
I'm glad that some people are approaching this with a playful attitude. That's the intent
I don't think I understood your final evaluation correctly. In the above list of T&F, I find 16 "False" and 2 "True". According to your choice, I only agree with you that 7 & 9 are "True".
However, you state that "A perfect left-wing score is 18" !? Does this mean that you "score" only when you feel a given statement is False?
All I am saying is that the more questions you answer the same way as I did (as revealed at the bottom of the table), the closer you are to being a true left-wing liberal (like me).
In other words, you score a point every time that you agree with me.
But this was meant to be a bit fun(ny) - as well as provocative . And many people would argue that all 18 statements are opinions, and that there are no right or wrong answers here.
