Hey,
Not sure if any of you have seen, a several questionnaire that finds out your political ideology and compares them with several political leaders.....
It shows your results on a 2 dimensional Economic/Social scale that differs from the usual left/right scale.....
http://www.politicalcompass.org/
Everyone post your results......
Mine are:
Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.23
im gonna put mine in my sig so it would be good if a few people did that....

Some of the wording and scope of the question reflected a potential for bias that isnt' explored. It's not anything more than a small diversion and I wouldn't' hold much sway by it. But glad to be diametrically opposite GWB :D

do you know exactly where the point "zero" is, from where this test defines what is left or right? It is an Anglo-Saxon test, so there is a tendency to considerl more things "left" then if it would have been a French or a German test.

Well another test sadly only directed for those in the US. :( Well with tounge in cheek here's my results,
Economic Left/Right: -0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.10
there should definately have been an option to not answer some of the questions that doesn't directly affect you... For instance my government doesn't try to tie the hands of the people in a battle against the windmills. :)

Very odd. I think the problem with this test (and with virtually every other test on line) is that it still isn't thourough enough. Generally, I side with Republicans, unless they get all stupid again.
