The Falsifier
You scored 68% individualism, 32% fatalism, 92% hierarchy, and 52% egalitarianism!

Congratualtions, you are helping to disprove Cultural Theory! Cultural Theory argues that each person will adhere to one, or possibly two, of the basic cultures. The other viewpoints will sound insane or incoherent. Because you agree with three of the cultures, you don't fit Cultural Theory's predictions. Take that, Mary Douglas!







My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

	You scored higher than 63% on individualism

Bjork's Beloved Barney

I’m presented with at dilemma: to see the Cremaster Cylce or not to see. 1 and 2 are playing down the street this weekend. Curiosity is taking hold, but I have a horrible feeling that it’s going to be no better than porn: visceral images devoid of any purpose other than to sear themselves onto my brain. I’m all for being challenged, but this may be taking it too far. It’s a slight shift from the hesitation I would feel when I was young before watching a scary movie – not that I would be afraid to be in my house alone but that the grotesque knowledge I gained by watching endangered my spiritual safety. I already have the problem of thinking perverse thoughts at inappropriate times. I don’t know that I need to add fuel to that fire.
