Wow. I’m the furthest to the left of everyone here.

Yeah, but I didn’t take the test because taking online political tests struck me as blatantly bourgeois.

Oh yeah? Well, I took the test because everyone else was doing it and I wanted to be a good member of the collective and not stand out by not taking the test, so there.

My score: Economic Left/Right: -5.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.95

I wish I could have opened Brutus’s skull and just like, poke around in there. I never could figure out if he was being purposefully reactionary or really believed what he said. I guess I’ll never know.

(P.S. I’m continuity eror with a new name, -7.00/-5.00)

I think I got you beat now…
Economic Left/Right: -9.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.05

I always knew that I was moderate. Then I took that test and I got a score of -1, -1.

It just fascinates me how the results cluster so much in the lower lefthand quadrant of the graph. (My score is only in the lower left hand quadrant by the skin of my teeth. If I took the test again I would quite possibly no longer be in that quadrant. Therefore I will not be taking the test again anytime soon. )

That’s generally where I’m at too, only the Libertarian is around 6.00. Heh.

Yet another in the lower left. -3, -6.1

Not on the graph, but I seem to follow suit with most.

-1.88, -3.08

My results are:

**Economic Left/Right: 0.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.97 **

Which doesn’t suprise me because I consider myself to be fiscally conservative and socially liberal.

The site’s International Chart has nobody in the lower-right quadrant that I am in…I feel so lonely. :frowning:

Damn! Missed another chance to be semi-imortalized.

Anyway, I turned out with:

Economic Left/Right: -1.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.26

I am the very model of a modern centrist gentlemen/a fence-sitting, moderate, fascist libertarian/I know but care not what you do between your bedsheets;or in your hash bar, firing range, or temple, mosque, or synagogue/In short I won’t care what you do if you keep out of my way/but if you don’t I’ll not hesitate to send you to ‘Ol’ Sparky’!

My results are:

Economic Left/Right: -0.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.72

Economic Left/Right: -0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.79

Guess my pubbie friends will have to start calling me a tree-hugging hippie centrist now. :smiley:

Economic Left/Right: -7.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.97

Another typical Doper. However, I took that test a few months ago. If I took it again, I wouldn’t be too surprised to find that I’ve re-centred myself slightly.

My results:

Economic Left/Right: -5.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.56

Wow, I’m a typical Doper, according to the distribution:

Economic Left/Right: -5.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.21

For me,

Economic Left/Right: 6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.49
