Economic Left/Right: -3.25
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -2.31
I have no idea what this means. Politics are confusing.

Two Lines down towards Liberarian.
and exactly on the line between right and left.
I always vote Republican.

Draw a line between Gandhi and Thatcher.
Right three/ Up one.
Who'd a thunk!
I figured I'd be further right too, but the questions seemed that the were worded such that they didn't reflect my position. The left-minded questions seemed to be put in a positive light and with sufficent room for interpretation / and the more conservative comments seemed over the top and rather negative.

Hey, badabing...
Why not add a poll with 4 quadrant choices to get an inventory of the membership here?

Same level (authoritarian/libertarian) and approximately half way between (left/right) Ghandi and Milton Friedman...I'm cool with that.
However, lots of poorly posed questions, IMO. There should also be "somewhat agree" and "somewhat disagree" options.

The questions definately left a lot to be desired.

I've done that one before, but I did it again anyway:
Economic Left/Right: -7.12
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -7.38
So I'm well into the bottom left quadrant there - further left and further down than Gandhi.
Although the questions are imperfect, that's pretty accurate I'd say.

I'm left libertarian:
Economic Left/Right: -2.12
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -5.18
Cool reading list. Thomas Paine's in my quadrant, so I figure I can't be too far off.
John Locke should be in there too, IMHO.

I was expecting to be just left of the centre, so I suppose that's fair enough. Some of the questions are definitely very poor.

x-axis: ~ -5
y-axis: ~ -7
A bit more libertarian than i expected!
my dad took the test a few minutes later. his score?
x-axis: ~ -4.75
y-axis: ~ -6
almost the same, just a bit different in degree of libertarianism.
well, if governments don't rise out of the people, they rise over them.

We (moley, me, Portrait of Tracy, JMX, others) are like Stalin without the authoritarianism and horrible atrocities commited against both his and opposing peoples.
