    Am I officially the Apolyton Centric person?
    Since I'm about as exact centric as possible.....

    And why so many people here are leftish?

      Hmmm... My ideas of a free market, Co-Op-based Socialism pulled me to the right economically.

        Considering some of our common interests I'm not surprised we are above average but I thought our political beliefs would be all across the spectrum. I was surprised I came out near Gandhi when I thought I'd be a highly authoritarian right like Hitler (just ask my kids ). I guess maybe I'm more of an enlightened dictator (like Attaturk).

            I consider myself centric. Although in economic terms I consider myself slightly conservative.

            yet the test put my slightly to the left and libertarian. go figure.

              Hmmm, I'm sliding farther left as I get older. I used to be a lot more Centralist than I am now...At least I'm gaining in Authoritarian beliefs.

                    Any future chart that is to be made should be based on how different Apolyton posters stand relative to my own personal ideological beliefs.

                      Being a random sampling of people we should average out but don't. I think that perhaps the test, like Albert, is biased and we just proved it.

                        The relatively high numbers of europeans and canadians compared to americans also skews the distribution. The left side is 66% non-american compared to 44% on the right.

                          I think I encounter a significant right shift, since I last time made the test.

                            That's why I added the flags, you can easily check out what is the rough average of US' posters.

                            I'll see if I'm bored enough to update the chart tomorrow morning (EET).

                              We're not exactly a random sampling...

                                A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.
