I find that it only give a very general idea of where I stand on the political compass. Many people have more 'precise' and honed thoughts on many issues that such a scale cannot disply accuratly. Still fun nonetheless.

Theart quesiton has nothing to do with what you think abou tthe art, it has to do with your opinion toward others' views on it. Anyone who states that abstract art should not be considered art is demonstrating an authoritarian tendency to dictate what others should think. I can't find it on the FAQ or other areas, but there used to be an explanation given stating that Hitler and Stalin, among others, restricted art and trashed the abstract stuff and called it a waste of time (and sometimes had the artists killed.)

Those who see the sale of bottled water as unfortunate are likely to be economically liberal (collectivist) because people of that school of thought tend to believe that something necessary to sustain life should be free rather than a commodity. Others (myself included) see that there is plenty of cheap water, and wish that we got to the idea first because we don't feel at all bad providing a product or service that, while scientifically proven to be useless, generates significant amounts of honest, legitimate revenue.


If anyone else is wondering about any of the questions, I've gone over it several times and can tell you fairly accurately where a certain question lies on the spectrum.

I don't know where that puts me - I couldn't give myself scenarios that would fit the real world to those numbers.

But hot diggity dawg, did I ever enjoy the outdoor Come Together annual May 24 long weekend hippy campout festival in Waterford Ontario :)

24.

What in the hell does being almost completely dead-center mean? Does that mean I just don't give a shit one way or the other? Or are my opinions just so fucked-up-jumbled that I don't indentify with anyone?

Uh... -5.88/-2.41
Looking at their examples, I think I killed Gandhi.
That surprises me.

I noticed I alternated in treatment of some questions, but didn't have the patience to be very careful. This one deserves a retake after sleep.

It it appears that I am the polar opposite of GWB. I'm simply...shocked. :D

I got
Economic Left/ Right: -4.72
libertarian/ Authoritarian: -9.48
in June 2003

And I got
Economic Left/Right: 5.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.44
today.

I guess the French welfare state fails definitely at getting me hooked up to it.

dy156 06-14-2005 09:56 PM

for those interested, I'm:
Ecomomic (right) 4.25
Social (libertarian) -1.54

back almost two years ago, I was 4.21 right, -1.74 down.
Questions were still silly, but I'm glad I am consistent.
