How prone are you to disgust?

There's a very interesting article in the New York Times about studies on the emotion of disgust (http://nyti.ms/zcqt1w) as well as a link to a survey set up by Jonathan Haidt. The survey (http://bit.ly/youNKH) was fascinating.

Apparently I rate very highly for core disgust, which is protecting the mouth from contamination. It's true. I feel nauseous very easily. I'm like an average conservative (conservatives are more prone to disgust) when it comes to reminders of my animal nature, and also regarding contamination (protecting the body generally from disease and uncleanness). I was quite surprised to learn this.

They have a bunch of other surveys you can take as well. I've signed up.
