    I'm pretty centrist, as I expected. Can't remember my numbers exactly, but I know they were both between zero and negative 1.5.

      Economic Left/Right: -8.88
      Authoritarian/Libertarian: -8.46

      And this test is still as manifestly screwed as it was last time. Gives mostly the right result for me, but it's still screwed. Their axes as well as half their interpretations are screwed.

        Economic Left/Right: 0.50
        Authoritarian/Libertarian: -5.13

        Pretty good I'd say. I was basically right down the middle on the left/right scale and way on the Libertarian.

          Neo-liberal... I like that term, I think I'll begin calling myself that. It fits.

          Furthermore, I was alarmed to see Tony Blair on the Authoritarian side....

            This test is somewhat wrong. There are many questions to which I wanted to have a banana answer.

            It's the third time I am taking it, and It's the third kind of results.

                The other thing is that the economic questions are pretty bogus too...

                I mean, there's questions about restriction of corporations, but there aren't any questions about the helping of corporations either. I mean, I feel like a businessman has the right to run his company as he wishes and sell to whom he wishes, but I also don't want to give him heaping sums of public money either to do it! Or unfairly skew the tax system in favor of large corporations as opposed to the small businessmen either.

                That's where Republicans and their alleged free market philosophy go vastly different paths.

                  an american directed test, but somehow, I feel that it is better. ( It is more vague, though. )

                      why am I not surprised to see huge negative numbers from so many forumers here?

                          seems like they had a hard time categorising me.

                          Neither right nor left.

                          Neither authoritarian or libertarian.

                            Ah, this again?

                            Economic Left/Right: 4.62
                            Authoritarian/Libertarian: -3.64

                            Closest to Charles Kennedy in 1996, but a bit more economically right.

                              A) Is that bad?

                              and B) in which category? Authoritarian/Libertarian? or economic? or both?
