Brief Questionnaire to Assess Compatibility
With Worldview Theme #32

Respond to each of the following below on a 1 to 5 scale, where
     1= strongly disagree      2 = disagree      3 = neutral      4 = agree      5 = strongly agree
If you don’t have understand, or are confused by a particular question, select 3= neutral.

Note: An * in front of the question indicates that this has been used in national public opinion surveys. 

*1. In thinking about and characterizing freedom, I’d say that one of the most important statements that one could make about it would be, “Freedom is being able to express unpopular ideas without fearing for my safety”

*2. I would characterize myself as someone who is “very concerned” about women’s rights.

3. I believe that all people are born equal in dignity and entitled to certain rights and freedoms.

*4. I favor allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally.

*5. The federal government has lots of information about people easily available in computerized databases. I view this as a very serious threat to individual privacy.

6. Regardless of their gender, workers doing the same work should receive the same pay (assuming other factors are roughly the same).

7. All people, at birth, should be granted the following legal rights: life, liberty, equality before the law, legal recourse when rights have been violated, presumption of innocence until proven guilty, and the right to appeal conviction.

*8.  I think that it is more important for our country to support the pro-democracy movement in China and trying to protect human rights there, rather than just maintaining good relations with the Chinese government and trying to open China’s markets to US companies. 

*9.  Protecting civil liberties and privacy is more important than protecting against terrorism.

*10.  I support the goals of the human rights movement at home and abroad.

*11.  I belong to an organization that might be characterized as being involved with human rights issues and / or promoting Third World development.
