Not Your Average Totalitarian
I recently took a test that placed me on a graph of different political classifications. I did this purely out of curiosity. I wanted to see if it would be accurate. In truth, I took several, but I will focus on the one I feel had the most thoughtful and inclusive questions.
At the end of this particular test, a political graph popped up. I took one look at it and laughed. On it were such extremes as anarchist, fascist, and socialist as well as more moderate classifications such as republican and democrat. My results was as follows, nothing more and nothing less: "Totalitarian". My dot was placed right between Osama bin Laden, Stalin, and Darth Vader (a very awkward place to be).
I am definitely not a totalitarian, and my answers should not have even led to this conclusion. One of the possible reasons for this result may have been the fact that there were no questions asking about free speech or related liberties. Now, I will not reveal what exactly I am or what my answers were, I will merely continue on to what I got out of this experience.
What I concluded hereafter can be summed up in three words: trust in yourself. Your mind is your mind, your heart is your heart. Learn what your mind can do and what your heart can feel. Ponder and pray about who you are. Don't instantly reject ideas or opinions. Rather, think about them, weigh them carefully. What I'm saying is find who you are, weigh every choice that comes into your life, and think about every idea that comes to you as well as every action you or others perform. That is what I learned from just taking a little quiz.
