Rovik Posted May 27, 2005 Report Posted May 27, 2005 My results: Economic Left/Right: -5.13 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.90 Quote
August1991 Posted May 28, 2005 Author Report Posted May 28, 2005 I think this test is Canadian but I don't know for sure. I also think it should be in three dimensions, not two. The third dimension should be nationalism, or sense of loyalty. It would translate well into French, but I've never pursued that idea. Lastly, I started a jpg file with the location of various MLF posters. If I get around to it, I'll put it on tinypic.com so everyone can see. Quote

stubblejumper Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 Economic Left/Right: -6.13 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.90 Those that make me a commie ? Some of the questions I could have answer agree or disagree, should have been a 5th choice.I am sure that would have swung my score. Example: It is a waste of time to try to rehabilitate some criminals. Well yes, some but the even close to the majority or even a large portion. So I agree but not strongly.There are probably 5 I could have swung on. Quote
Big Blue Machine Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Economic Left/Right: 0.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.36 Quote And as I take man's last step from the surface, for now but we believe not too far into the future. I just like to say what I believe history will record that America's challenge on today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow. And as we leave the surface of Taurus-Littrow, we leave as we came and god willing we shall return with peace and hope for all mankind. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17.

Rovik Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Hmmm...I had previously posted my scores but yet I'm not on the chart. But no, I'm not posting out of sour grapes (I don't care if I'm on the chart or not..lol) but just to note that it would be interesting if the location of the posters, say NL or AB was next to the poster's name. I'm willing to bet that the further east one goes, the more left of centre the scores (except for maybe some urban centres out west like Vancouver.) Quote

BHS Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Economic: 2.50 Social: -2.97 I found the language of a good number of questions to be less than satisfactory, and in those cases I tended to enter DISAGREE simply because I couldn't determine what the point of the question was, or what the intended definition of a loaded word or phrase might be. I'm sure this necessarily skewed my results, though I'm more or less happy with my outcome based on the agreed upon definitinions for right/left/authoritarian/libertarian. I think it might be a worthwhile exercise to use the questions given as thread topics, if for no better reason than to discuss the problems with language and definitions I've mentioned above. BTW, the articles on the 2005 British elections are quite interesting and worth at least a cursory read. It doesn't surprise me that BD's result puts him in the neighbourhood of the Green Party, for reasons I feel no need to discuss. (Keeping in mind that my own result puts me in league with the Liberal Democrats. Shudder.) Quote "And, representing the Slightly Silly Party, Mr. Kevin Phillips Bong." * * * "Er..no. Harper was elected because the people were sick of the other guys and wanted a change. Don't confuse electoral success (which came be attributed to a wide variety of factors) with broad support. That's the surest way to wind up on the sidelines." - Black Dog
Leader Circle Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Economic Left/Right: 6.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 4.26 I'm over with ole Maggie Thatcher. Not sure if that is a good thing or not. George Bush & Tony Blair too. Even Paul Martin is on the upper right. Not as far as some. No surprise!
