I'm poor, you dummy.

I'd say it is because people on this site tend to be more educated than average. The right feeds on the ignorant masses through populism, but most people here (who are socialists, social dems, or libertarians) can eat through the rhetoric.

That is the point of these types of tests: if you are on one side of the scale you interpret the question one way if you are on the other side you interpret it the other. Have you ever done the Myers-Briggs or Strong tests?

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -2.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.6

[Sava]

for me:

Economic Left/Right: -4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44

edit: my old results below:
Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.72

I'm dismayed at some people's results. If you answered those questions honestly, you have to be a real ******* to be positive on any of those.

apolyton has taken a bit shift to the left over the years... about two years ago there was a drug legalization thread and someone remarked that had it been two years previously (2000), there wouldve been a heated debate but now, it's just one or two conservatives versus all. the right wing on apolyton has gone libertarian and the leftists are still leftist.

I just had my mom take the test. She scored like -7.2 and -4.8 (eco and social respectively). Keep in mind she's a director level at a major health care company and has an MBA. She told me, "I got my MBA so I would know my enemy."

I didn't fall far from the tree.

Economic Left/Right: 3.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.51

Drifting to the right economically, while staying more libertarian than authoritarian.

[Ben Kenobi]

you have to be a real ******* to be positive on any of those.

Considering that even I do not score a double positive.

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

I used to be spot on with you Cyber.
