Zythryn, your questions are covered in the first few posts. Please read from post 1, if you have any questions that are not answered, get back to me.

Questor,

I've read this thread from front to back more than once, and I'm not seeing it. If I'm not seeing it, then chances are good that several others also are not.

Can you please state precisely which of Zythryn's questions are answered in exactly which posts?


Thank you for all of your sincere attempts to increase the understanding of this topic which you are clearly passionate about.

[Zythryn]

Sorry Questor, I reviewed the first few posts and could find no answer.
Let me simplify it, get rid of the second question, just address the first if you would be so kind.
Here is a simpler version:
Do you think that the traits you mentioned 'sanity, honesty, character, integrity and ability to perform the job' are limited to liberals or conservatives. If so, which?

[questor]

Zyhthryn and Freeztar, I am sorry, I was referring to my original post on this subject where certain traits are ascribed to different hemispheres.
I assume these different traits are the ones under discussion?
'' 2. Traits necessary or beneficial: honesty, integrity, good morals, job experience, intelligence, ability to bond with the public, love of country, fairness, steadfastness, knowledge of economics and foreign policy, and ability to negotiate.''
Answer, I know of no research that would link these traits exclusively to either hemisphere or either political party. Some of these traits are subjective, such as intelligence. A mass murderer can be intelligent but exhibit none of the other traits. A politician can be able to bond with the public, but have zero morals. Fairness? As relates to whom? Some are only ''fair'' to people that think like they do. As I have stated repeatedly, the specific research on my theory has not yet been done, but quite a lot of research has been done that points to definite hemispheric differences.

And which traits go with which hemisphere?

[Zythryn]

Questor, the original flavor in this thread seemed to be that you wanted to find a way to determine if someone is a conservative or liberal via brain scans.
Statements such as:

I think I
CAN tell the difference between a liberal and a conservative and offered to do so in my previous posts.

and such seem to reinforce that idea.
If this is not your position, please correct me as to what exactly your position is.

With that said, you then were asked a hypothetical question about exactly which traits you would scan for if you could. You mentioned a number of which you then state:

I know of no research that would link these traits exclusively to either hemisphere or either political party.

I am following you so far. However, are you also saying that your original idea does not attach any of these traits to liberal or conservative thinking people?
If so, haven't you just defeated your original concept?
If you do believe any of these traits are solely found in one form of political thought or another, could you state explicitly which ones and what observations you base this hypothesis on?

[questor]

Zythryn, my original post was about different wiring in the two brain hemispheres. If you accept the research papers on this which are unanimous concerning the traits inso far as I can tell, then this may be the reason 40% of the populous is liberal and 40% is conservative. If you would accept that the traits attributed to one hemisphere are more desirable in a national leader, then people would probably prefer that person in office.
This question was not asked:
''With that said, you then were asked a hypothetical question about exactly which traits you would scan for if you could. You mentioned a number of which you then state:''
The traits I listed were described as necessary or beneficial and are not the same traits listed in research papers. If a brain scan was done, it could show the person was a right brain thinker or left brainer or crossover. Observation and personal history could shed light on the other traits I listed.
this quote:
''I think I
CAN tell the difference between a liberal and a conservative and offered to do so in my previous posts. '' I stand by this claim.

You could save us a lot of time and replication if you would go to my original post and read the links. The original was placed in The Strange Claims Forum
I am treating your questions with respect even though this ground has been plowed thoroughly. If you have specific questions after reading my original post and have a true interest in the subject, I will be happy to converse.

[InfiniteNow]

Your "thorough" is my "non-sequitur" and lack of direct linkage.

[Zythryn]

Questor, I have read your original post/thread. And your links say nothing about what you have referred to as "my theory".
So please, tell us in your own words, what your theory is.
I see other peoples research and papers and the idea that differernt political bents 'light up' different parts of the brain. But I see nothing about 'hard wired' or that using differnet parts of the brain is the CAUSE of the different political bents rather than the RESULT.
Please clarify YOUR position. Or if your position is EXACTLY duplicated by another paper, feel free to post the link (the don't believe you feel EXACTLY the same as all three of the links posted).

I thought you might get a kick out of this, questor:
