Sunshine Jesse Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Actually I have a question about this.Isn't it kind of not right to "correct" neutrality? If you don't lean strongly towards one way but go full agree or disagree on it then it skews the results which causes them to be untrue to what you truly think. (or as truly as a test like this can get) Neutrality is a sign of either apathy or uncertainty (usually the latter) in an overwhelming majority of circumstances. When you think and/or care more about an issue, it's always better to "correct" a neutral position you hold, because more in-depth thought on a matter doesn't trend towards a neutral position.

Thar Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Not gonna lie, most of my answers were based off apathy and inferiority complexes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think and/or care more about an issue, it's always better to "correct" a neutral position you hold, because more in-depth thought on a matter doesn't trend towards a neutral position. Or maybe it isn't. The answer said "Neutral, or hesitant", and the mindset I had when choosing those options was "It really depends." It can very well mean a person is willing to go one way or the other depending on the context or circumstances involved; it means a person isn't hard set on any one alignment but is will to adapt to the situation. I could argue that the more in-depth someone goes on a subject, especially with how much situations can differ from each other on a given topic, the more they are willing to decide depending on the circumstances. Another word for it is the "John Milton" stance; the idea of nothing being inherently good or bad, that it all depends on the context and what's going on; that rationality is not on being hard-set on a given stance but rather being aware and vigilant of what's going on and making a wise decision based on the circumstances. That's what I'd call the middle "neutral" ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Pragmatism : politics objectively boil down to looking at where the problems are and trying to solve them according to the means available. What complicates it for me is that I do not believe a lot of these questions apply to everything. But defined by the culture and country of origin.

Good solutions actually solve problems for good and make people adapt to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yui Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 >117 questionsOh boy. Here goes nothing... 20 minutes of asking friends and/or Google about words in about a third of all the questions later...

Good solutions actually solve problems for good and make people adapt to them. Once again, it all depends. Often times the best solution is the one that's fit for the situation it's in rather than defaulting to an subscribed mindset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine Jesse Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 A lot of my views were on the fence last time, and I've spent a lot of time reconsidering them, so here's where I land now: They're still in the process of changing, but I just wanted to show how much a fundamental change in perspective has personally impacted me.

Makο Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 i feel a bit wishy washy, but most of my neutral answers were due to a lack of information and because not everything is so black and white. I'd choose different answers depending on context for the same question. nyeh got pragmatism as well, though, which feels accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
