Evil Survey Missing Values
I'm a little disappointed that Curatosaurus has not submitted his evil test score. (Nor has iumike, or mikton, or lips, for that matter.) Now, it's possible that he's been too busy to take the test. (I'll pause to let ninophile stop laughing.) Or that his score was so-o-o evil that it undermined his "paragon of virtue" shtick. Or so-o-o-o low that it undermines his "bad boy" self-image? Or maybe he's just got better things to do.
Speaking of having better things to do . . . .
I got a little interested in the evil test and started looking around. There are all sorts of fun interactive tests at the evil test site, blogthings, including "girls-only" tests like Do You Ruin Relationships?, which I didn't take, of course (it's girls-only), but which sounds like it could be funny. And then there's How Sexy Are you?, which also looks pretty funny.
Another site with interactive tests is OKCupid. The tests there seem to be a little more "raunchy," and the site seems to also be some kind of dating service, as well. It's a sketchy, not safe for work web environment, if you ask me. But I liked this one: The Would You Have Been a Nazi Test.
| The Expatriate Achtung! You are 38% brainwashworthy, 22% antitolerant, and 33% blindly patriotic |
| Congratulations! You are not susceptible to brainwashing, your values and cares extend beyond the borders of your own country, and your Blind Patriotism does not reach unhealthy levels. If you had been German in the 30s, you would've left the country. One bad scenario -- as I hypothetically project you back in time -- is that you just wouldn't have cared one way or the other about Nazism. Maybe politics don't interest you enough. But the fact that you took this test means they probably do. I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt. 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 have been one of them. Conclusion: born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would not have been a Nazi.  - it rules - |

Btw, I'm not sure that I'm 38% brainwashworthy. But these tests are finely tuned psychological tools, so they can reveal things about you that you don't know about yourself.
It actually looks like OKCupid allows users (once you sign up, which probably involves that dating aspect of the site, which I would rather avoid, you know) to generate their own tests and then send them to their friends. Talk about better things to do . . . .

So here's what I got on the Nazi test:
The Resistance
Achtung! You are 30% brainwashworthy, 9% antitolerant, and 42% blindly patriotic
Welcome to the Resistance (Der Widerstand)! You believe in freedom, justice, equality, and your country, and you can't be converted to the the dark side.
Breakdown: your Blind Patriotism levels are borderline unhealthy, but you show such a love of people from everywhere and a natural resistance to brainwashing, you would probably focus your energy to fight the Fuehrer with furor, so to speak.
Conclusion: born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would have taken up ARMS against the oppressors. Or even your friends' oppressors. Congratulations!
Less than 5% of all test takers earn a spot in the Resistance!

That sounds about right, although it probably overestimates my "tolerance" quotient. But don't let the Bushies find out. I don't want to end up in Gitmo.
Me and TMcD are going to have to fight for the resistance leadership. I'm in.
I am 30% brainwashworthy, 18% antitolerant, and 61% blindly patriotic.
I was very disappointed that I scored lower on the evil test than Emery. I scored a miserable 48%.
Nazi test:
The Expatriate Achtung!
You are 7% brainwashworthy, 36% antitolerant, and 28% blindly patriotic.
I don't understand how you can be 61% blindly patriotic and still be part of the resistance. I would think that blind patriotism was the number one factor that led people to Nazism.
Additionally, what the Hell does antitolerant mean? Wouldn't a low percentage mean that you are more tolerant than someone with high percentage? We all know that c-lex doesn't fit that category.
That quiz lies!
The phony conceit of the Nazi test is that anyone would have actually belonged to the "resistance" category.
The reality is that, unlike in France, there was no German resistance to speak of, just relatively isolated actors like Dietrich Bonhoffer or Sophie Scholl and her White Rose Society. The latter is a good case in point: a small student protest group that emerged only when the war started to look bad for Germans. Not to take anything away from the White Rose. They exercised extraordinary bravery and gave their lives resisting Hitler. But they were a rare and late-blooming exception, not part of any proud and robust 5%. As a general rule, even the best Germans either left or kept quiet. Similarly, the famed "dissident" movement in the USSR and its satellites didn't really begin to emerge until the late 1960s, a good decade plus after Stalin's death, when the totalitarian system had already begun to recede. The lesson: a resistance movement needs a lot more than patriotic, tolerant, and unbrainwashable people, and sometimes the politics of a place are both so powerful and so repelleant that, for a time at least, no genuine opposition can develop.
Yes. And let us not forget that we're talking about an entire nation of people who thought that wienerschnitzel was a food and not a punchline.
