'All kinds of wrong': Time Magazine quiz claims to predict political affiliation

Can Time predict your politics?

Probably not. But the magazine is giving it a shot with 12 questions “that have a statistical correlation to a person’s political leanings, even if the questions themselves are seemingly apolitical.” Seemingly apolitical? Do you prefer cats or dogs? Which Internet browser do you use? OK, we’ll give it a shot.

I really don't see what's so liberal about using Chrome.

Has anybody seen the menu at your typical fusion restaurant? Most liberal hipsters couldn't afford soup much less an entree. #TimeQuiz

And #WTF about me using Chrome 50.1% is liberal? I use four different browsers as total web portability is a load of crap. #TimeQuiz

According to @TIME, using a 'modern browser' like Chrome is a liberal quality

How is preferring cats over dogs a "Liberal" quality? And yeah, I am under 60 so I don't use Internet Explorer pic.twitter.com/UJpPCjyKa6
