Some of those questions are pretty darned loaded, tho... And the test does slant an awful lot to the left.

Economic L-R -7.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -2.77

That makes me hitting the mark of Neslon Mandela almost exactly, with Ghandi and Dalai Lama close by :lol:

Ooooh, and Iceman... :88)

But I question the whole thing. Too many question were given in a way so that necessary and most essential distinctions got flattened. That way, the score is distorted. Interpretation also is quationable. reality of acting and decision.making includes MUCH more than just two dimension. Even if one might be tempted to think that two dimensions are already one dimension too much, when looking TV.

Boy does this test lean <---------- LEFT!!!!!

The social "libertarian/authoritarian" issue itself is mislabeled - its a question of how much should government be involved in your, and everyone elses' life....

Economic Left and Right are more reasonable, although the questions do tend to create a left leaning result.

Economically I am probably as conservative as anyone I know, while I do think the role of government in the life of an individual should be minimized. And all I get is a 2.88 and 1.18? Yea - its slanted...

Good Hunting.

Of course the test has issues, even two variables are not enough to express all variety (therefore you can get an unlikely closeness between some people, because the thing that separates them is not included). Also, political tests are determined by how one defines certain groups, which is hard to do without bias. Also, a lack of axes may give people an option to compensate extremism with another extremism.

For me:
Economic Left/Right: 1.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.38
