It's a very in-depth test. I wasn't surprised by my score. I was almost exactly in the same place as Gandhi, one of my heroes.

-5.00/-6.26

(I'm economically and socially liberal)

Take the test! It's brilliant.

Post your results. You might be surprised.

I don't particularly like this quiz. There's a whole host of questions that shouldn't have a bearing on your rating.

Regardless,

Economic Left/Right: 8.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 5.28

This link is very popular in NS...

But I keep forgetting...I must take it again!

Economic Left/Right: -1.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.10

Right on the Left line, closer to Ghandi

Economic Left/Right: 1.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.15

I'm over with Tony Blair and George Bush.

economic is -6.25
social is -7.03

Almost just like Ghandi =)

I don't particularly like this quiz. There's a whole host of questions that shouldn't have a bearing on your rating.Indeed. You can think something is good without wanting it to be mandatory, or think something is bad without wanting it outlawed.

Some of the questions relate to morals. It's all about morals when you come down to it.

Yeah but I don't see how, if I think that sex outside of marraige is bad, that that means I'm any more authoritarian or economically-right wing than anyone else. It just means, in my case, that I'm religious.

that question wouldn't be included in your economic score

Economic Left/Right: -9.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.62

These questions really don't show anything - because I'm very much a Conservative Republican but it pegged me as a lefty. Not cool - I think its only because I do think we need a well structured social support system that takes care of those who CANT take care of themselves - until they can.

the next person who posts this damn quiz with be set upon by my brownshirt army, depantsed and severely caned( hopefully its a man, but for the sake of the forum i will engage in straight breeder spanking if necessary). this thing seems to pop up every 2 week at least, and corperal punishment seems the only possible solution.

I'm new here. Lighten up

that question wouldn't be included in your economic scoreIt shouldn't affect either score. Personal morals do not necessarily affect one's political views.

well since you're both female and a minor i'll let it slide. now if you were an 18 year old twink with buns of steel it might be another matter.

If you REALLY want to know what I am, theres about 5 other threads with my answer in it.

No major political figures in that sector.

Yah, I'm near the Dalai Lama.

Who's Al Sharpton?

That's not a very conservative view, now is it?

I tend to come out as Thatcherite on that, not a bad thing.

These are my scores, not really suprising, seeing as how I'm a socialist...

Economic Left/Right: -8.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.10

It certainly doesn't ask enough questions to be a viable quiz on your political standing. It's a bad quiz.

I agree that it isn't a very good quiz, but it's interesting, at best. Probably a rough gauge for your politics as well, although no such quiz can be accurate...unless it's got perhaps 2500 questions.

I guessed on some questions (because I didn't know what, say, Protectionism meant), but turned out

Economic Left/Right: 0.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.62

Haha...basically nobody is where I am on the international map. However, Chopin and Tchaikosvky (spelling?) are closest for the Composer's Map....

The US Primary thing is also quite interesting. They're all just the same....

I'm closest to Milton Friedman. 8)

because I didn't know what, say, Protectionism meant

Protectionism is placing up trade barriers and tariffs designed to protect businesses in your nation from "unfair" foreign competition.

I'm more to the left and to libertarian than both Gandhi and the Dalai Lama.

Economic Left/Right: -3.10
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -.10

Almost dead center average :)

Economic Left/Right: -2.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.33

Closer to Gandhi

Another example of why I don't like this quiz...
"Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified."
What if I strongly disagree because I think it is almost always justified? :twisted:

Then go to strongly agree, meaning you think its ok all the time.

Then go to strongly agree, meaning you think its ok all the time.That would mean I definitely agree that it is sometimes okay.

Hmm:

Economic Left/Right: -7.88

I'm more way out than Gandhi. I think that's a complement.

Yeah but I don't see how, if I think that sex outside of marraige is bad, that that means I'm any more authoritarian or economically-right wing than anyone else. It just means, in my case, that I'm religious.

Perhaps the question should've been worded whether you think that sex outside of marriage should be punished.

That would more effectively give an authoritarian/libertarian reading (I took the test a long time ago and don't remember all the questions--so this might've been accounted for).

Anyhow, for the most part it seems relatively accurate.

g.e.

The placement of 2004 primary candidates is bogus. All the democratic candidates are in reality left of center.

Economic Left/Right: 2.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.72

Which puts me right next to...nobody. The area on the "International Chart" where my results are is depressingly empty. :cry:

*draws in a big red dot where his results would be* :mrgreen:

All the democratic candidates are in reality left of center.

...on the American spectrum. The spectrum presented with the quiz is European. The American center, to which the democratic candidates are to the left, is in the European statist right. Compared to the European left, American leftists are indeed very right wing.

-4.5
-3.85

Some questions I was undecided about so jumped one way, may be different on another day.
So Ghandi like I suppose, which was a suprise top me considering what I think of some issues.

All the democratic candidates are in reality left of center.

...on the American spectrum. The spectrum presented with the quiz is European. The American center, to which the democratic candidates are to the left, is in the European statist right. Compared to the European left, American leftists are indeed very right wing.

I realize you all think that, but it's my opinion that the rest of Europe, etc., is itself way left of center. How else can you explain the rampant socialism? Just because a large number of European nations are Socialist does not mean that Socialism is any closer to the middle of the spectrum.

Well, maybe socialism *is* the middle fo the spectrum for Europeans.

In other news, I came out close to centrist, as I always do. Maybe a little more to the right than a few months ago, probably due to answering a bunch of questions "strongly disagree/agree".

Economic Left/Right: -0.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.21

Authoritarian Leftist am I? Bloody Hell Im living a lie.....either that or the questions are a bit too simple to accurately reflect a political stance.

Either way, this old tory is lumped alongside Castro, Lenin and Mao Tse Tung so "Come The Revolution" all you reactionary capitalist lackeys of the imperialist west will be purged!

Long Live the Tyrant of Jeem
