I can't stand either of them and it pained me to have to associate good words with either of them. Ick.

3. So what were your results?

In the presidents test, mine was a strong preference for ANY recent president that WASN'T Bush. Big surprise.

2. I took the presidential test as well.....

I clicked on your post before you changed the title. I was looking for the racial bias test....but I couldn't figure out which one you were referring to.

Anyway I got JFK and **. The result was I was moderately more inclined towards President Kennedy. I don't know how accurate that test is. I love JFK and I loathe **. Anyway it was fun...thanks.

presidents to test against Bush. My test was Bush vs. several different recent presidents (JFK was not included).

BTW, I didn't change the post. The racial test is in a separate thread in GD.

5. I had a STRONG preference to JFK as opposed to *.

I'm shocked! SHOCKED, I tell you!
Now if they'd just come up with a test to measure the depth of my loathing for *....

8. I did age.

The result was "inconclusive." I think it is because I am trained as a musician and tend to do things in cadence, in rhythm, not in an irregular fashion. In other words, I tend to establish a beat and keep it steady. The test is based upon how quickly or slowly you react to specific stimuli. If you always react at a steady, rhythmic speed, I suppose it confounds the test. I didn't react that way to confound the test. It is just the way I do things. So the test doesn't work that well for me.

9. I got Reagan and Bush, and it said "inconclusive"

It couldn't determine a preference! (??)

(FWIW, I prefer Reagan, if HAD to pick one.) Bush SO SUCKS.
