I noticed the poorly worded questions as well. As a third-party person, I was quite surprised to see how I was heavy duty democrat in the choices.
There is a perverse skill to writing carefully-crafted quizes/surveys that will essentially deliver the results desired by the creator. And don't think that's not how quizes and surveys are put together. I remember writing some of those on "quality" issues when I was at a certain megacorporation. The bottom line was that they wanted it to give the impression their quality was far better than it was, and they also wanted it trackable without looking like it was. (Just think, their receiving Malcolm Balbridge award for quality had something to do with this effort...) Politics is even easier, as the issues are already being spun and fogged...
