I'm off slightly to the right of the centre of the Lib-Left square.
I find it interesting to see how my position has moved since I took the test several years ago.

[Platapus]

The way the questions were worded, I had very few "strongly" answers. So I guess I am what I thought -- A moderate. :woot:

You know it's all relative. China used to be and in many ways still is very very much on the left of the spectrum and have had a pretty booming business environement for some time.

As for small entreprenours I have nothing but sympathy, it's when the big fellas begin to step on the collective toes of the people that my ire is raised. If Letum corp. wants to buy some small nation and make it's citizens guinea pigs for nasty experiments I will certainly go "What's all this about then? Eh?! Eh?!"

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/54/1012554/1280_3132376631303531.jpg

I actually found some of the questions to be not precisely enough. For example the one whether first generation immigrants can integrate into a new country. I've seen both sides. 3rd generation "Germans" that still don't speak the language properly and first generation Germans from for example Poland where you couldn't tell the difference to the native population except for a slight polish accent (still way better than some of the 3rd generation guys from a certain country). So I guess I should be a bit more to the right side than is displayed on this chart.:O:

No, just making an observation about how far from the center your profile appears to be.

Generalisations are fun. That's why people make them. Whether about perceived extremists or hicks from Texas.

[Onkel Neal]

Oh boy, getting personal, are we? Ahem, I was referring to the topic of this thread, and how far your position was from the center. I did not launch into a tirade about "boneheads from Finland", or anything else unrelated to this topic. I guess (I know) I shouldn't try have light conversation with you. Won't happen again. :shucks:

[SteamWake]

I found alot of the questions leveraged and guiding I forget the name for it but they do it with polls alot.

Questions like "Do you like pollution" of course the vast majority will say no.

Where as questions like "Do you think global warming is a 'real' issue" will get answers from both ends of the spectrum.

I might take the test this evening when I have time.

He's already taken the test, on the first page. He scored pretty high in both authoritarian and right.

Edit. Oh I see you're in the blue square too, but Xabba is higher in authoritarian then you in the Right so...he's the most 'blue square'-extreme. :)

I think I'm closer to Ghandis little red dot... :O:

btw, I did not like the question:
A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.
Well, I had to agree here. It's a simple system, whether it is a faschist or communist system. Anyone disagreeing in this system will be shot or locked away for ever. There is no delay of process, not much to speak of, that is...
But I do not agree that it is the best system. Lousy question... :nope:
Some other questions were a bit stupid too. And there is no center option of "neither agree or disagree".

Anyway, here is mine:

First question right out of the box.


If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.


First it assumes globalization of the economy is inevitable, furthermore who would answer in the affirmative for trans-national coporations?

Yea screw humanity I'm all about the coporations ! :rotfl:

[Tchocky]

Answer there is that trans-national corporations inherently benefit humanity.
THe "good for GM" theory, which isn't all wrong :)

Steve is right. I have seen this before. I wonder if I changed since that one last year sometime. :hmmm:

It doesn't assume because it uses the word "if".

That aside, I have had discussions with people who think that corporations
shouldn't be forced to compromise their own interests to benefit any other
interests.

It's an extreme position to take, but not one no one takes.

The compass requires questions about extreme positions in order to find
if you should be given an extreme score on the compass.

Ha ha ha....too bad I didn't get to be right in the middle. One of my brothers claims there is no such thing as a centrist, either your left or right.
There are only two ways to be a centrist:

1) Intentionally play the middle, refusing to take one side or the other (which both sides like to call "fence-sitting").

2) Take every issue separately. The same defense of liberty gets me labelled a "Righty" where guns, economics and government-run anything are concerned and a "Lefty" when it comes to abortion and gay rights. Hence, depending on the questions, I usually show up somewhere near the middle.

So I'm not really a Centrist, I just play one on TV.

Not so much with the 'Authoritarian' vs 'Libertarian' question.

Aw, you had to go and get all opinionated on us. I agree, but that's true of most candidates, from any side.
