About
Hi, I’m David
I appreciate you checking out the site: it’s my hobby project and refuge for testing out new ideas, playing with CSS and JavaScript, and sharing my thoughts.
If anything I write here prompts you to respond, please leave a post on the discussion board or send me a message through my various social network channels. I want to share my thoughts but be open to learning from the opinions of others, and I welcome your input.
Personality Profiles
I know some of these are dubious in their quality, but there is something appealing to me about being able to link someone to a distillation of who I am and how I see things. People can have such widely varied worldviews that I think it’s helpful to share them early, perhaps so others can use these results as a way to dismiss my viewpoints in a succinct and time-efficient manner.

When committed, organize a job and carry it through. Skeptical and independent, have high standards of competence and performance — for themselves and others.

🧭 Political Compass
🏳️ Hidden Tribes
Progressive Activists have strong ideological views, high levels of engagement with political issues, and the highest levels of education and socioeconomic status. Their own circumstances are secure. They feel safer than any group, which perhaps frees them to devote more attention to larger issues of social justice in their society. They have an outsized role in public debates, even though they comprise a small portion of the total population, about one in 12 Americans. They are highly sensitive to issues of fairness and equity in society, particularly regarding race, gender, and other minority group identities. Their emphasis on unjust power structures leads them to be very pessimistic about fairness in America. They are uncomfortable with nationalism and ambivalent about America’s role in the world.
