Give yourself 1 point for every YES....

1. Have you ever thrown a cigarette butt out your window or not been bothered by someone who does?

2. Have you ever left a shopping cart in the parking lot instead of walking it back to the cart collection thingy?

3. Have you ever forgotten a pay a bill on time?

4. Have you ever blamed your age/genetics/busy schedule for why you cannot lose weight?

5. Have you ever cut someone off in traffic?

6. Have you ever run a red light?

7. Have you ever sped up on a yellow light (yellow means slow down, btw)?

8. Have you ever driven above the speed limit?

9. Have you ever called in sick for work when you were perfectly fine?

10. Have you ever been in the "express" check out with more than 15 items?

11. Have you ever parked illegally?

12. Have you ever cheated...on anything...or anyone?

13. Have you ever done anything personal while at work (personal phone call, email, wrote a grocery list, etc)?

14. Have you ever tried to shift blame away from yourself even when something was entirely your fault?

15. Have you ever returned a movie or library book late?

16. Have you ever missed a doctors, dentist, or other appointment without calling ahead?

17. Have you ever said something negative about someone with no intention of saying it to their face?

18. Have you ever bought something that you couldn't really afford at the moment?

19. Have you needed to answer 'yes' to any of these questions, but want to add a justification?

20. Have you lied on any of the questions above?

RESULTS:

1-5 points -- You are either a liar (and therefore would be a great conservative) or you couldn't comprehend the questions (and therefore would be a great conservative) or you are a goody-two shoes (and therefore would be a great conservative)

6-10 points -- You're just like the rest of us.  Boring!

11-15 points -- Let's be friends.

16-20 points -- I'm not one to judge, but you have no morals (and therefore would be a great conservative)

I can't stand #1 or #2, so I can say NO to those things. Numbers 12 and 8 I try to never to do, but I have had a speeding ticket or two in my life (three of them) and I cheated at Hungry Hungry Hippos regularly as a child. (just tilt the board a bit.)
My score is 15.
As for #13...well where do you think I get the time for Newsvine?!

I like this article. Voted up!

weRdoomed, are you, perhaps, acquainted with WintropeMerideth,The III? Wini asked the same question. I believe my answer was something along the lines of,

Anne, Anne, she's so nice, I wish she weren't made of ice...

And, no, Coulterville is a little more down to Earth than Ann Coulter would be comfortable with, I think!

I'm with Hecate's daughter - when I first saw #1 & #2 I actually got a little incensed because I consider myself a good conservative and think only a liberal would leave the cart for someone else to bring in . . .it's usually 5 freaking steps people, I have a bad knee - if I can return a darn cart you should be able to.

And I don't smoke but notice that every car I see with a bumper sticker mentioning how every person deserves health care - that it is every person's 'right' . . .they are a smoker! (which actually makes sense when you think about it, every liberal I know thinks they should be able to do whatever they want and should not have to face any consequences or pay for it.)

After that I thought it was funny though,

I got a 7, so I guess I'm boring!

I got 8 points. I get called a conservative all the time (really only fiscally though), so does this mean I failed the test;)

17. Does this make me a bad person? :) Not according to most that know me. They think I am nice to a fault; go figure.

Also, you made a logic feedback loop that would crash computers. If you scored 20 then you couldn't have scored 20 because you lied on one of the others. A paradox worthy of Star Trek :)

Conservatives tend to be paradoxical group so I think it is rather easy for them to overlook anything that doesn't give them the results they want. I think the paradox was purposely built into the test...

I stayed up til the wee hours of the morning drinking and partying, so I didn't study for this test. I'll just take the zero. (Now figure out from that what I am, LOL).

Well, your reason for not studying makes you clearly unqualified for conservatism. And definitely qualified to be my friend!

One or more person(s) with ill intent regarding my real life have learned of my Newsvine moniker and I'm quite sure I'm being stalked for the purpose of interfering (further) with my life. Thus, no freebies for the watcher(s) if and until sanity returns to certain members of the human population.......

All good questions in your quiz/survey which can give all of us reason to not be too harsh on one another if possible.....
