[Conspiracy Theory]

That part wasn't directed to you, but Ringo etc.. I agree with your stance here though. I think the question itself was more along the lines of School "sponsored" as that seems to be the prevalent issue, not individual right IMHO.

I was however surprised it threw you into a conservative camp. Based on prior threads, I would have never guessed? I wonder what threw you there.

You don't know why I'm a conservative?

No, not really. If I remember correctly you seem to haunt the line here and there. I have never disagreed with you on topics I have been involved with. Most of the people I know are hard core I guess? That is one of the biggest problems. I would rather tell people I am 25-50% Conservative and 50-100% liberal than "own" a particular stance. Even in the Poly forums it seems to vary by site?? I guess what I am saying is there no longer seems to be a set "standard" of classification.

I am right up there with my hero’s, Mandela, Gandhi, the Dali Lama; sounds about right. A few questions were “iffy” to me here though. Seems I scored similar to the other test. The results were Left leaning on the Libertarian front. I think this is a much better depiction..

Economic Left/Right: -5.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.51

I see that my picture didn't show up in my post. I'm very close to you, Flynmonkie! In between 'moderate' and 'left' and 'moderate' and libertarian'.

Interesting to combare the results of both tests. The one test shows me as being considerably more left than the other, which almost places me as a moderate.

Economic Left/Right: -7.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.85

 

[Harpuia]

-2, -4.

On most tests I lean right, not left. lol.

Well, it may be stronger Libertarian values, but I would think that would take you more towards the bottom of the list on this test than to the right?

This test seemed to indicate more social (moral) than the other. I am still trying to figure out the difference.

You do know I am stealing your logo! I absolutely hate that commercial.. But love the slogan!

"RON PAUL: Apply Directly to the Forehead!!"

I just blogged on the Ron Paul on Wolff Blitzer deal... the denial of the NAFTA superhighway.. good grief!

You know if he is elected he will be shot like Kennedy and Lincoln -- they both wanted to go back to silver..

Cool, looks like you and I aren't too far apart:

Economic Left/Right: -2.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.90

Of course we could answer backwards on half the questions and still get nearly the same score

seems like everyone is getting center-left on this new test.

*shrugs* More proof that it's not the left-of-center folks here on CF that are the extremists.

Feel free.

It's gotten popular lately. I think people are just tired of seeing how crazy a Ron Paul supporter can get, lol.

Okay, that was weird. My dot was right in the middle of the whole quiz.
Economic left/right 0.25
Libertarian/authoritarian -0.41
WHo the heck represents me?

I *think* it is because it is the difference between Fascism and Anarchism, rather than Conservative vs. Liberal. I think even conservatives are more liberal than they care to admit. I just think they don't get it

Although, I seem to have liberal thought, I am a constitutionalist, I believe in our social contract. I do not believe in involving ourselves in too many “moral” issues… I believe it will backfire. I also really don’t like the imbalance of transnational corporations.. But that is another thread. Needless to say, I think the first test is a indicator of what policies are being discussed, rather than what “we” feel in a general tone.

I tell people all the time, I am a populist, but I carry libertarian values. I believe in protection of our rights, but I also don’t want the government in all my business. My philosophy is a mix of Hobbes, and Rousseau.
