Here's one relevant to ongoing discussions on p.chat.politics. I think I may post the link thither, just to put the cat among the pigeons. Aheheheheh.

Der Resistance Achtung! You are 23% brainwashworthy, 27% antitolerant, and 47% blindly patriotic

Welcome to the Resistance (Der Widerstand)! You believe in freedom, justice, equality, and your country, and you can't be converted to the the dark side. Breakdown: Your Blind Patriotism levels are borderline unhealthy, but you show such a love of people from everywhere and a natural resistance to brainwashing, you would probably focus your energy to fight Fuehrer with furor, so to speak. Conclusion: Born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would have taken up ARMS against the oppressors. Or even your friends' oppressors. Congratulations! Less than 5% of all test takers earn a spot in Der Resistance!

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 15% on brainwashworthy You scored higher than 45% on antitolerant You scored higher than 73% on patriotic

Damn straight.

Objection, however: "blind" patriotism. For answering "yes, however I can" to "would you serve your country?". That does not necessarily imply "serving your country according to the dictates of the people in power"--it can equally mean "serving the vision of your country that's enshrined in your heart".

I lthink your Blind Patriotism level -needs- to be borderline unhealthy to qualify for the Resistance. I mean, you gotta be a little obsessive in your love of country to go up head-to-head against its evil leadership.

I ended up as an Expatriate because my Patriotism wasn't high enough. Sheesh.

(for the record, I too answered "however I can", but I answered "probably not" to "would you die for your country?")

Mmm, good point. When You Care Enough To Kill The Very Best, or something.

First time round I got "Resistance"; second time I got "Expat". I guess it's a fine line between fighting back or just pissing off elsewhere :-)

...which reminds me that I still need to hunt down the link to the sociopath test.
