Economic Left/Right: -1.50

Authoritarian/Libertarian: -2.97

I don't consider this very accurate. Many of the questions / answers are limited in their description of the "problem", and/or are limited in their response.
I was forced to either agree or disagree with a very basic statement of opinion that often did not accurately represent the complexities of the issue.

I took this same "test" a couple of years ago. ( Or one very similar ) I have moved to the left a bit, according to this evaluation. ( I believe I was considered a "moderate" conservative in that one. )

There were no questions on gun issues, and an entire section could be devoted just to the constitution.

All in all though, interesting little questionare.

I was just a little bit to the left of Milton Friedman.

The first question started "If globalism is inevitable..." I left the survey at that point, since I really believe that if globalism is inevitable our national identity would no longer exist.

Would I want government or corporations to run this brave new world? That's like asking kids if they'd prefer brocolli or spinach...it just feels like a choice to really dumb kids!

It's not very accurate. I was -.88 to the left and +.36 to the Authoritarian. That's weird, I've always considered Stalin the greatest criminal of the 20th century. LOL The questions aren't worded very well.

I.E. Authoritarian-Right

Right up there with Maggie Thatcher. (I always liked that woman; Now I know why.)

I'm like Hitler. Close to Maggie Thatcher and uncle Joe Stalin.

It's pretty much on the mark. I don't complain... I spoke my mind.

When I get voted into office... sit down and let me dismiss you. It will make my day.

I guess I am "Just another Joe"

Economic Left/Right: 0.88
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -1.28

That puts me just to the right and just below the center point of the graph.

I agree that a lot of the questions were vague. And the survey was missing a "neutral" setting. For example, one of the questions about education was "Schools should spend less time on art and more time on job training" ---- how about "Schools should spend less time on political indoctrination and more time on math & science"????

The results are about as meaningful as the cost of the test. Atleast it put me closest to ole Milton.

I've always known I was somewhere in the middle but this is crazy...... Left/right....(.13)....Authoritarian/Libertarian....(-0.67). And I'm one of those "born-again" right wing fanatics!

I agree the questions were somewhat questionable....
