Friday's Test Day
Since I started out my day being accused of being a totalitarian, it reminded me of this test. Take at your own peril. My result?
The Expatriate
Congratulations! You are not susceptible to brainwashing, your values and cares extend beyond the borders of your own country, and your Blind Patriotism ("patriotism" for short) does not reach unhealthy levels. In Germany in the 30s, you would've left the country.

Did you know that many of the smartest Germans departed prior to the beginning of World War II, because they knew some evil shit was brewing? Brain Drain. Many of them were scientists. It is very possible you could be one of them, depending on your age.
For the truly funny, there is this quiz which measures what kind of funny you are (mine in the extended entry). Enjoy!
| the Cutting Edge |
| CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | DARK Your humor's mostly innocent and off-the-cuff, but somehow there's something slightly menacing about you. Part of your humor is making people a little uncomfortable, even if the things you say aren't in and of themselves confrontational. You probably have a very dry delivery, or are seriously over-the-top. Your type is the most likely to appreciate a good insult and/or broken bone and/or very very fat person dancing. PEOPLE LIKE YOU: David Letterman - John Belushi |

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

I got expat too, with 30% brainwashworty, 33% blindly patriotic and only 18% intolerant. Do you think it's busted?
Binky, John and Morris - We can't all be expats. Apparently I just don't measure up to ya'll. I'm "The German Civilian" - 46% brainwashworthy, 18% antitolerant, and 23% blindly patriotic. More description?:
Had you lived in Germany in first half of the 20th century, you'd have probably just gone with the flow. Men with guns are surrounding the house next door? The bagel place on the corner's gone? Hmm...whatever.
The data show you're a decent person who's willing to listen to what people of authority tell you. That's what most people are, and in most times and most places, that's ok. But not then.
The sad conclusion: You would've missed your Jewish friends, but you would've done nothing about it. Seriously. Rest assured, you would've forgiven yourself eventually.
But Binky, even if I'm not as good a person as you, we do of course have a similar sense of humor. I too am Clean Spontaneous and Dark, though on the 1st two variables I was apparently at the 50/50 divide.

Posted by: binky at July 30, 2005 06:44 PM | PERMALINKalas, armand, you're not alone 46 /13 / 33. all the rest of the stuff is the same as yours. so i'm more tolerant than all y'all, but also more brainwashworthy and pretty blindly patriotic.
them's the breaks, i suppose.
