It's like a father with his children. Each is different with their own strengths and weaknesses, but their father loves them all just the same. I don’t think it’s really a matter of equal.

It is based on the notion that you answer a certain way based on your personality. Many people would answer based on what they have been taught to believe as opposed to their inherent personality type<br /> <br /> <br /> Remember. It's not arrogance if the feeling of superiority is justified. Here is why the test is flawed. It is based on the notion that you answer a certain way based on your personality.

Remember. It’s not arrogance if the feeling of superiority is justified.

To say your own is the right does tend to come off as arrogant, that's one of the world's complaints about Christians, is it not?

Here’s mine:

The Center
You scored 76% individualism, 16% fatalism, 68% hierarchy, and 24% egalitarianism!
You adhere to both the Individualist and Hierarchist cultures. This means you are the Establishment, or “The Man.” You run the system, or at least agree with how it’s run. Any inequalities that arise are justified, because some people are just better or more deserving than others.

How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 75% on individualism

You scored higher than 9% on fatalism

You scored higher than 93% on hierarchy

You scored higher than 1% on egalitarianism

–There’s something wrong with a test when a C is weighted the same as a 100%

I am entertained by the fact that we are equally hierarchical - though I am obviously much more egalitarian than you. This must be due to the fact that it is exceedingly difficult to tell yaks apart in the first place.

In case you're wondering:<br /> <br /> You scored 44% individualism, 16% fatalism, 40% hierarchy, and 84% egalitarianism!<br /> <br /> You strongly adhere to the Egalitarian culture. Egalitarianism is characterized by a passion for equality and a strong sense of solidarity with other people. Unfortunately, this is often accompanied by a tendency to see people not in your group as traitors or evil. Egalitarians believe that nature is fragile, like a ball balanced on a hill.<br /> <br /> So I guess I'm a stereotype, too. ;) You’re SURPRISED? In case you’re wondering:
