maplesyrup Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 Economic Left/Right: -5.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.15 To be expected, I imagine.

Chimera Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 Economic Left/Right: -6.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.87 An interesting quiz. While I agree with some of the other posts that this "test" may not be scientifically accurate, I believe that (for me at least) it is close. Thanks for the link August. Quote

Tawasakm Posted December 4, 2004 Report Posted December 4, 2004 I thought I'd take the test again after a couple of weeks (which is long enough for a dunce like me to forget the questions) and compare the results to see how similar they are. My original results: Economic Left/Right: -3.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.72 My current results: Economic Left/Right: -4.62 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.82 The libertarian/authoritarian results match very closely. I seem to have moved further away from a free market in the last week though. Although maybe my economic mood is being affected by all the money I just forked out fixing my car? The test seems pretty consistent. Quote
caesar Posted December 4, 2004 Report Posted December 4, 2004 Although maybe my economic mood is being affected by all the money I just forked out fixing my car? You would probably fork out the same or more under your "free market" where employees would have less benefits (I guess you mean). That money would just end up more in the "employer"'s hands. Quote

Economic Left/Right: -3.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.05 3. (currently) Economic Left/Right: -5.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.33 sorry I just really enjoy taking this test, but I am starting to wonder, why I think Paul Martin is to much of a lefty for me.

Tawasakm Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 Damn every time I see this test I feel an overwhelming compulsion to take it... Lets see where I stand this year. Economic Left/Right: -4.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.67 Before that I was: Economic Left/Right: -4.62 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.82 And before that: Economic Left/Right: -3.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.72 I don't seem to have changed a whole heap.

The Terrible Sweal Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 You're trending strongly leftward, economic-wise. Quote
PocketRocket Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 Interesting little site. The only problem, IMO, is the absoluteness of the questions. No allowance is made for either having no opinion on the question, or for variances depending on circumstances. But still, kind of fun. Economic Left/Right: -2.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.77 Approaching the area inhabited by Nelson Mandella and the Dalai Lama, but a bit closer to center. I guess I better buy a new pair of sandals. Quote I need another coffee
August1991 Posted February 5, 2005 Author Report Posted February 5, 2005 The only problem, IMO, is the absoluteness of the questions. No allowance is made for either having no opinion on the question, or for variances depending on circumstances. From the FAQ of their web site: In some cases none of the four possible responses reflected my attitudeOne expert in the field suggested that we restrict the responses to simply 'agree' and 'disagree'. But how many do you need? Ten? Twenty? If you choose the one that most nearly reflects your feeling, you'll get an accurate reading...even if it niggles. Quote

PatM Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 LR -7.5 (left)LA -4.46 (Libertarian) Are you suprised? I though not. I am closest to Ghandi. Ghandi was a good and wise man and I have always greatly respected him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've done that one before - ended up a tad right of and a tad below Ghandi. a Social Libertarian! Quote
RB Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 Economic Left/Right: 3.13 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.56 somewhere between Martin, Blair and Chirac Quote
Riverwind Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 Economic Left/Right: -0.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.26 I found my real answer for many of the questions was 'none of the above'. Regards Quote To fly a plane, you need both a left wing and a right wing.
PatM Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 Same here - many of the questions trapped you into answering in a way that doesn't reflect my opinion at all. Quote
Canuck E Stan Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 Economic Left/Right: -3.50 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.10 Interesting results, I'll take it again next week and compare the two.

cybercoma Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 A lot of the questions had a largely social slant to them, which forced you to answer in a double negative if you chose any sort of rightwing type answer. Anyway, here's my results.... Your political compass Economic Left/Right: 1.50 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.69 Quote
The Terrible Sweal Posted May 26, 2005 Report Posted May 26, 2005 This time: Economic Left/Right: -3.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.59 Just south-east of Ghandi, that commie. Quote
