This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

OK, I’m going to take this one in a minute, but I am not going to lie. I’ll answer honestly and see how conservative I can score.

Kinda disappointed in this one… my scores were appropriately conservative:
Economic Left/Right: 6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.64
but the survey was really bad. If I’m going to score as a good conservative I’d rather it be on a survery that, as Frank commented, inspires thought on the issues. This one almost inspires me to write a parody of it.

Frank, if you thought my 12 was bad from earlier, wait until you see my PC rank. You’ll be reassured.
I’ve taken it previous times in the past and it’s pretty consistent.
Lemme go take it again…

By the way, Frank, you need to tell us what your numbers are.
I’m roughly where you are.
Economic Left/Right: -6.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.18

I didn’t record my numbers, but, according the graph, they look like approximately -6 and -6.
Regulate big business and leave me alone.
