Neuropolitics.org--do your Iraq war views reflect your personality?

Someone else posted this link but I thought it deserved its own thread. This is an online test that purportedly draws conclusions about your personality type versus that of the general public by asking questions about your views on Iraq. After a few pages your results are returned in the form of five numbers. How do your war views stack up? My scores are 11 / 14 / 18 / 18 / 10. Seems I'm not much of a crowd follower.

1. Very interesting, but also very truthful. Here's the results:

Your propensity to prefer your local social groups over more distant social groups 53 43 Lower
Threat Assessments from Outgroups Your propensity to feel threatened by external social groups 68 44 Lower
Competitive Aversion Your propensity to avoid competition 48 78 Higher
Warfare Stress Rating Your stress level during warfare 52 72 Higher
Social Mutability Your propensity to align your beliefs to your ingroup's 50 39 Lower

The first number is the "Population Median Score", the second is my personal score. The last is whether my propensity is higher or lower than the median.

2. Interesting, but doesn't focus on Iraq war.

I mean, I took the test too, and I thought the results were more about personality type and less about how the Iraq war affects me and why my opinions about the war are shaped by my personality. Just saying.

3. Well, That's Interesting

Ingroup Affiliation        Lower
Threat Assessments         Lower
 from Outgroups   
Competitive Aversion       Higher
Warfare Stress Rating      Higher
Social Mutability          Lower

I think they got it pretty much right. Although I do wonder what that thing about the nostril was.

6. lol. They're stereotyping mouth-breathers....y'know.

I was eating so I had to breathe through my nose. Otherwise, I may have been breathing through my mouth due to a stuffy nose. Some people with certain disabilities breathe through their mouths. I do know that the term "mouth-breather" is derogatory...but I think it is WAY socially unacceptable to use the term because of the aforementioned connection to people with certain physical disabilities.
