Well, in two of the three categories, I'd tend to agree. It's good to be radical. Pinko tender commies can {pound sand}!
Radicalism:
1. Redthirtyone (36.25)
2. Me (44.50)
3. Terrik (47.25)
4. Azurephoenix (47.25)
5. CrimsonSoul (50.00)
(NOTE: TommiR and stienman also had scores of 50, but had higher average scores)
Socialism:
1. GasBandit (12.50)
2. TommiR (18.75)
3. blotsfan (18.75)
4. Shakey (18.75)
5. ChadSexington (18.75)
Tenderness
1. AshburnerX (28.13)
2. GasBandit (31.25)
3. Tinwhistler (31.25)
4. Adam (37.50)
5. Dave (37.50)
Average Scores
1. GasBandit (34.00)
2. CrimsonSoul (40.57)
3. Redthirtyone (41.25)
4. TommiR (41.67)
5. Terrik (42.83)[DOUBLEPOST=1378347572,1378347076][/DOUBLEPOST]Upon looking at the "high" and "low" scores, here's my opinion:
- Radicalism - This is more or less a measure of how much of an activist you are. Higher scores indicate someone who's willing to attend protest marches and such; lower scores indicate someone who either doesn't want to rock the boat - or figures it's useless to do so.
- Socialism - In the US, we would call this the liberal vs. conservative debate. High socialism scores indicate you probably voted Obama and/or Democratic in the last election; low scores indicate Romney was your man - and you vote GOP.
- Tenderness - This would be a measure of not just empathy, but how you look at the world. High scores indicate you have a pretty positive outlook on life; low scores would indicate you've either been burned by life or seen way too much "bad" in the world that you're jaded.

Is this how our treasured association must end, jwhouk? With me cutting you into long strips and telling everybody you walked over a sharpened cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?
Hrmm... late to the party here, but I felt I had to chime in with mine, too...
On the whole, I can agree with this... I feel like I'm a bit more empathetic than that, but I can see how I've gotten a LOT more jaded in the last 5 years...
Also, just for comparison (let's see if this works...):
Political Values
Radicalism 63.75
Socialism 12.5
Tenderness 34.375
Socialism 12.5
Tenderness 34.375
These scores indicate that you are a tough-minded moderate progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a liberated atheist. It appears that you are cynical towards religion, and have a suspicious and unsympathetic attitude towards humanity in general.
Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as libertarian.
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, an idealist with few strong opinions.

Again, I'm surprised Gas had the higher tenderness score than I did.

Too much weight must be given to certain questions. I am not that tender, and I tend to lean much more right than left. It seems like I was a bit more of a libertarian last time I did this.
