> > I don't get it. You must agree to both premises to agree to the proposition as a whole, right? If you feel that either is incorrect, you disagree. I agree with the first half and disagree with the second, and as such disagreed with the entire proposition. I don't see how somebody who supported the second half and not the first could agree to it, either.

Right. There are three viable beliefs that I see here. Lirelyn is correct that rejecting the first premise and accepting the second doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

#1. You believe that society should be open about sex, and society has not gone too far with this openness. Your answer is "disagree," and your views reflect the "open" extreme.

#2. You believe that society should be open about sex, but society has gone too far with this openness. Your answer is "agree," and your views reflect a central position.

#3. You believe that society should not be open about sex. Your answer is "disagree," and your views reflect the "closed" extreme.

There is no way for the scripts that run the survey to differentiate between #1 and #3, despite that they represent diametrically opposing views.
