Please would a native tell me how to express this?
How would you express this properly? I have no clue how to properly shorten it and still get my point across.
This survey will tell you what political you are, if oyu are a republican or democrat as long as you amswer each question truthfully and not influenced by what you hope or think you are beforehand, ex answering each question from the perpective of the political you want or think you are. Answer truthfully and you'll know what you really are. Don't answer the questions in a way that will influence the outcome the way you want it to. (ex if I answer this and that, they survey will say I'm either republican or democrat, which is what I want the survey to say)
How would you express this thought in a sentence?
Don't do the following:
If you want the survey to say you are more democratic, then you will answer each question so that each answer reflects the views of a democrat that way you know for sure that at the end of the survey, it'll say you are democrat. Answer truthfully, what you really think and don't try to affect the outcome in the way you want it to.
Is this natural?
Don't try to affect the outcome in the way you want it to subconsciously but answer truthfully.
Thank you so much

It's a little wordy, but it works. We don't use political in this way. " [I've taken such a survey a couple of times: it's difficult to remain completely objective, but one can, if one tries.

We don't use political in this way. What you need to say is something like "this will tell you what side of the political spectrum you more closely fit."
