The test isn't very scientific but I still find it interesting. It's probably best to take it without looking up the parameters being tested, but you may find yourself steering your own course through self-assessment anyhow.
I'm hanging out with Ghandi. Cool.
Ermm... I was at (0, -2)... can someone please tell me what that's supposed to mean?
Ummm... OK.
*gets out a dictionary*
I scored close to you, Tigger!
Economic Left/Right: -1.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.26
About one third of the questions made me think "don't care" but of course I was forced to choose. Usually, I would see myself a bit more on the "right", but that's on a German scale which might be more to the "left" in general.
I feel kinda special, its been running many months and from the looks I am still the most extreme.
Economic Left/Right: -7.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.67
Economic Left/Right: -7.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.62
Mine is Economic Left/Social Libertarian
Callista, the American media and the constant GOP barage have so distorted and poisoned the word "liberal" that I think a lot of people -- probably a majority -- don't realize that if they look at their values and compare them to authentic liberal values --hey! they are more liberal than they thought.
The Washington Post, several months ago, had a similar test that compared the your stance on the issues with the stance of the [then] top 12 Presidential candidates. My second-best friend (an evangelical Christian and long time republican voter) got her results and said, "Oh, my gosh! My top candidate is Barack Obama at 92%!"
She had assumed she wold be worlds apart from Obamaa because of the non-stop "Liberal! Liberal! Dirty Liberal!" talk about him.
In Australia the word's lost its meaning entirely, as the conservative party is actually named the "Liberal" party...

I reckon that you missed me. That's quite impressive BTW

That's the honest truth. That's why this survey uses the dichotomy of left/ right only in the context of economics. I'm sure that modes of economic and social thinking could be further categorised along a dimensioned array, but for ease of conceptualisation the author simply divided political types into quadrants. Alas, so many of us really are not well represented by the two party sytem as it stands.
