Economic Left/Right: -6.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.97 I suspect I rate higher on the authoritarianism scale if I'm in a bad mood when I take the test. Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Economic Left/Right: -7.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.69 I'm close to Nelson Mandela as well. :D I didn't understand some of the questions, and I hate politics anyway.

quote:Congrats, Sir David: You are becoming Stalin. :P Economic Left/Right: -8.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.18 As usual, I'm farther out than anyone on the graph :P (Brief chart summary: Authoritarian left (-, +) can basically go from authoritarians on the economic left -- some Democrats, some Republicans, I think -- to Stalinists (ex. Stalin); Authoritarian right (+, +) can basically go from moderate Republicans to laissez-faire dictators (ex. Pinochet); Libertarian left (-, -) can basically go from moderate Democrats to democratic socialists (ex... Debs? Not a lot of them in mainstream politics) Libertarian right (+, -) can basically go from moderate Republicans and Democrats to extreme modern Libertarians (e.g. Rand). You can see where I stand.)

Oh contraré, Alec.

-9.12 Economic -7.85 Social Which I consider slightly strange, since I'm essentially a moderate in that I consider that most radical approaches are bound to fail due to the breadth of opposition they obtain. The compass is not an entirely accurate guide. A score in the extreme southwest often just indicates consistently leftist answers rather than revolutionary fervour. -------------------- Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned I'll tell you my story, man Though I wish I'd never been born I'm loose at the seams, I've broken my dreams And my hand it shakes the pen Come on, come on now baby, Let the good times roll again Posts: 961 | Registered: Thursday, June 12 2003 07:00 |

Economic Left/Right: -3.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.21 I have no clear idea of who I'm near, but the closest are the Pope and Nelson Mandela. Somehow I'm pretty much Communist. Though I do believe in personal freedom, but trying to find the balance between the individual and the state. -------------------- And that was exactly the point of itself.

Economic Left/Right: -8.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.62 I've taken the test in the past, but it seems that since then I've gotten somewhat more leftist economically, and somewhat more authoritarian socially. -------------------- "Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain- at least in a poor country like Russia- and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires.

Economic Left/Right: -4.12 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.08 Closest to Pope John Paul II. I'm sure there was someone else closer before. First member with a positive point on the social scale.
