that politics meme

I know when I put together questionnaires (which I did some in grad school and do some now at work), I often have the responses on a six-point scale -- an even number of options, is the point, so people can't just abdicate answering a given question. There's no button for "no opinion".

Still annoys me when I meet that on a questionnaire I'm taking, though. :-) In this case, there weren't questions on which I had no opinion, but there were ones where I felt like boiling it down to "agree" or "disagree" was too facile. (I mean, of course.) What I wound up doing was choosing "agree" when I found myself thinking "well, yes, but ..." and "disagree" when I found myself thinking "not unless ...".

I do pretty much agree with the result I got, though.

God yes, there almost always need to be a third option.

I ended up a Socialist, which is odd... not that I'm not veering in that direction but I wouldn't be called anything near a Socialist here.
