I suggest the more the value, the more conservativ(Nationalist), and the less the value, the less conservative and more liberal(Globalist). But it is just my thought. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Pretty much, yeah. When I did this on DDO there was a strong correlation

I consider myself pretty liberal. I am libcenter on the political compass, and since my idea of the world is relatively new, I expect my present worldview be more traditional 60 years later.

What does the phrase "de-scaled" mean?
It's referencing the concept of scale, which is a theory of social science my friends and I were interested in that originated from a now defunct internet forum. The basic contention is that ever increasing complexity in human social experiences contributes to ever more dysfunction. Compare someone who would score highly on this survey, whose life is stable and rooted, vs. someone who scores well into the negative. 

This survey is more or less a joke, ofc

I got a -4, I think. Not really sure how much of my extended family lives within 50 miles of me. I just left that one as a zero.

Relatively non-traditional. I don’t know if new is the word.

I'm not scaly.

As in fish like.

Though I scored 10

And Women are disadvantaged by the practicality of their urinary function.

I'm sure that Poly would have scored 9 otherwise.

I never wrote the question.

And you get 0 points for peeing in the woods.

Only points for peeing in the backyard.

Or peeing outdoors most of the time.


You're too quick to judge Poly.
