Experimental Psychology Project

[Chizzap30]

Hello All,

I have a project I need to do for my experimental psych project.

The project is about cognitive dissonance. I'm trying to see if the Political Compass (http://www.politicalcompass.org/test) is an accurate predictor into predicting a persons way of voting.

If anyone could take the test and then PM me the results along with your age, sex, and who you voted for in the last Presidential Election. I do not want to know any other information and no one's info on this site will be used to distinguish them in any way.

If you can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

Experiment eh? What's up with "CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE YOUR OWN PERSONALISED POLITICAL COMPASS™ CERTIFICATE"? This could certainly appear to be a commercial endeavor. And how can a ".org" site be selling things?

I doubt Chizzap owns the site, as it's been around for a while, and it'd seem weird for him to randomly promote it here after all these years.

The certificates thing is a bit odd, but I've seen weirder things on .org sites. I think the requirements for getting one aren't what they used to be in the early days of the internet. I think it's still a pretty cool thing to do to kill some time though, just to see how they match you up with some historic figures.

From Wikipedia (always a trusted source):

The org gTLD was originally intended for non-profit organizations, or organizations of a non-commercial character.

Registrations in the org are processed via accredited registrars worldwide. Anyone can register an org second-level domain. Although org was recommended for non-commercial entities, there are no restrictions to registration. There are many instances of org being used by commercial sites.
