I vaguely dislike this test (done it a godd few times by now), both because it vaguely misses the point of the left-right so-called economical (really group-power) scale, and because it fails tol take into account the difference between soppy-liberal wet leftism and real, pragmatic socialism. Of course corporations can't be expected to have any social responsibility, d'uh, that's why we need to get rid of them! Etc.

Does that make me a national socialist?

[Bas]

Economic Left/Right: -2.88
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.46

That makes me a moderate left liberal, I guess.

[Az]

Economic: -4.75
Policy : -4.92

what's does that 3rd coloumn stand for ?

[Clear Skies]

I love the way they put Eysenck on their reading list, only they don't use his model...

Eysenck's model had a left-right axis and a democratic/autocratic (open and accountable/closed and non-accountable) axis. I identify much more with the 'democratic' label than the 'libertarian' one...

[Transcend]

Economic: 1.5
Auth/Lib: -0.46

Right-center, just I expected.

DarkCloud, as I said I have moved a bit since last time I took the test. You may want to update the list.

I changed the strength of my opinion on some questions, from disagree/agree to strong agee/disagree. Sometimes the decisions are borderline - mainly because I can see both sides of the equation. In the end I thought, "Quit sitting on the fence!"

Actually, to score in the upper right half in this test like you did you'd have to be almost-Hitler. Centrists score maybe -2/-2.
