              It's not that good a test - a lot of the questions I thought, "The way they worded it, I have to disagree, even though I agree with what I think they're asking" or the reverse... and there's no "abstain" option.

                So slightly right of center and averse to government interference.

                  Yes, please. That one is hardly complete. Excluding people will skew the data. Why was that?

                      yeah, make a complete chart. And we can have the chart at the top of off-topic so anyone entering off-topic will know the political views of everyone in it

                        It was amazing to see that the majority of us, myself included, are in the left/liberal quarter. Anyone want to take a stab on analyzing why that is?

                          Well, part of it has to do with where the axes intercept. It's pretty arbitrary, if you think about it. Another part would be the wording of the questions and how they are open to different interpretations. Yet another part would be the fact that there just tends to be more "liberal" minded people here. Like attracts like, and all that.

                            Its has nothing to do with the libertarian/authoritarian axes, almost everyone on the chart is libertarian. Its just that the majority here are political lefties.

                              What's the precise definition of dead-center? Why isn't something slightly less authoritarian and little more to the left economically the dead-center? Or the opposite?

                              You're right about the mix of people here, though.

                                I dunno but I guess people here are more intelligent/highly educated than I'd imagined.
