I'm envisioning one of those dot charts like the high school sex study. You get a green link with people you agree with 12+ things on, and a red link with people you agree with 8- things on. That'd be really cool.

At some point, I'd do it. I'm driving fast in Deadline City this week, though.

Dave Lane is a pretty smart guy. We agree on 14 things.

I have created a handy spreadsheet to use so you can compare yourself to other Planeteers. Enter the name of the Planeteer at the top of the column and answer the questions. There is a convenient drop-down box with only the valid answers for each question. Complete the forms and save on your computer for later use. You might find it useful when deciding which Planeteers are worth arguing with, or if you need an ally in a battle with some dumb***, stupid m*****f***** that doesn't know what they are talking about.

I have taken the liberty of filling in the first column with my answers, so you can see if you are as smart as me!

Very cool.

If the data for all the respondents were in a single worksheet this format, it would be pretty easy to get the similarity index (a number between 1 and 0 that indicated the amount of agreement between any two planeteers) on these hot button issues. The indexes for all the planeteers could then be displayed in a matrix.

In the future we will have interactive, instantly-calculated agreement indexes that flash before your eyes on a heads-up display as you approach a stranger. The index will be based on the compatibility of a pre-answered questionaire similar to this one. Then you will know whether to ignore a stranger, invite them for a beer, or bash them over the head with a baseball bat. The disadvantage is that in the future I will have to carry a baseball bat everywhere I go.

**Rain Man** · 02-07-2005, 12:43 PM

That's pretty cool, dartgod. How do we save our responses so that others can build onto them?

patteeu · 02-07-2005, 12:46 PM

Here are the number of correct answers so far (based on my responses of course):

16 Cochise (He must have gone to a good high school or something)
15 KCFalcon59
14 Valiant
13 morphius
13 Hoover
13 Metrolike
13 Lzen
13 ClearmontChief
12 DartGod
12 hemied
11 elvomito
11 J Diddy
10 ZachKC
10 gochiefs
10 Nightfyre
10 Extreme Chief
10 Saulbadguy
10 cdcox
10 ChiefsOne
10 el borracho
9 Rain Man
9 bad girl
9 MOhillbilly
9 jspchief
9 cannibal
9 gblowfish
8 SaintMcManus
8 Digital Takawira
8 ROYC75
7 Dave Lane
7 memyselfi
7 chiefs4me
6 David.
6 Scanfan64

Despite what Rain Man says about how different he is from his "evil twin" bad girl, they both look the same to me.

How can a kid who is going to a fine institution like Mizzou (David.) be so wrong and a kid who is wasting time at a glorified day care center like KU (metrolike) be so right?

Based on this survey, I would have guessed that chiefs4me is a Bronco fan.

Calcountry · 02-07-2005, 12:47 PM

Aww man, can't I just check the boxes for this?

**Rain Man** · 02-07-2005, 01:00 PM

patteeu is lucky I don't have a baseball bat per cdcox's system.

Wow, the ones we are not alike are.

Death Penalty, You are for it, I'm not. No Big Deal IMO, I could be convinced, I'd never change the law if I could.

Marihuana - You want it Legal, I don't. Again, not that big of a deal.

Abortion - I said I'm against it unless fro Rape and Insest, You sad No, never. Again No Big deal.

Kinda a Weird.
