Something has got to be wrong. My political coordinates only came out to Economic=+3.13 Political=+3.08. That makes me surrounded by Paul Martin, Jaques Chirac, Gerhard Schroder, and John Howard, and Tony Blair. :evil: The only one of those guys that I don't think is a complete waterhead is Tony Blair. :roll: I should have been somewhere to the lower right of George Bush.

So maybe we're all more right wing than the questionaire concluded!

Mybe the scoring in the questinare is programmed to be biased to try and convice more people that they are liberals?

Weird, I thought I'd have fallen a little more Authoritarian than Libertarian... Wee, I'm like Ghandi or the Dalai Lama... ... :evil:

Haven't we done this before? Must be buried in general forum somewhere.

Anyway, my scores:

Economic Left/Right: -8.50

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.08

No surprises there then.

I got Economic 0.38, and Social -5.28.
http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politic ... &soc=-5.28

Right on the middle! So I'm not a Filthy Commie OR a Capitalist Pig!
I kinda thought I'd place a bit more Anti-Authority though... so far I look very sensible. :roll:

I found that on the first couple of pages I was answering "strongly", and on the last couple I was giving the middle answers. Did anyone else find this?

Wouldn't say it's entirely accurate but:
Economic Left/Right: -5.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.31
http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politic ... &soc=-4.31

Left seems good when you're a bum/student but if I had to go out, get a job and support myself I'd probably move more towards the centre. I also like to think that I'll start some mega huge company in which case I'd probably shift to the right a little. Though I also think that a company should meet triple bottom lines (economic, environment and social performance).

No surprises. I'm basically the same as Gandhi, Dalai Lama, and Nelson Mandela. Cool.
