Agree. 

The question regarding abstract art vs a painting of, say, an apple was obvious and leading as hell.  

Then there was this jewel that had me scratching my head:  

Multinational companies are unethically exploiting the plant genetic resources of developing countries. 

Uhhhhhhh...  ok, sure?       
Incredibly bad question. How does one unethically exploit plant genetics? Or in other words how does one ethically exploit plant genetics? Again, this is a loaded question with the keywords being developing countries, so the developers of this test can draw a line between liberal and conservative. Plant genetics have zero meaning here. It's all about whether a person thinks corporations are taking advantage of a developing country.  So it's a setup.

I think I said I strongly agreed with exploiting the developing country lol.

The questions seemed to be put together by low information liberals with things like education or psychology degrees.

Clearly you are a transphobic white nationalist if you donâ€t know what unethically exploit plant genetics are? How dare you! 

actually I agree with your assessment.

I donâ€t think all of the questions were the same. I didnâ€t get the art abstraction question regarding the apple. One with which I am especially well equipped to think my way through regarding the interrelationships between representational and abstract art.

This- thats why the rest is worthless and also likely why we all scored the roughly the same.

Funny how most of us are pretty close to the middle.  No major extremes outsdie of maybe LRRPS. 
Hmm.
3 educators............but I was told they all are radicals lefties..........


Teachers aren't any more liberal than their areas.  Conservative rural areas have conservative rural teachers (for the most part).

Liberal urban areas have liberal urban teachers (for the most part).
