Nothing shocking here. This has been linked before in the group, and it's always an interesting test to see where people lie. Been a few years, so it's worth a relink.

Economic Left/Right: 4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.82

I'm about where I always am. I vary from a 4 to a 7 on the left/right and a -1 to a -3 on the L/A scale.

So I'm a libertarian left. I took this before, but I don't remember what I was.

Jihad vs. McWorld looks extremely interesting.

Definitely drifting further left as I grow up (although to prove that the 0 point is something that would vary by where you are in the world, I did still vote for the "right wing" party in the last provincial election!). The social part's where it has always been, roughly.

As a monarchist, this is about where I would expect to fall: supportive of a stronger government, but one built on the basis of reciprocity.

Was kind of expecting my Libertarian/Authoritarian to be more in the negative 8-9, but otherwise I would say it represents my extreme views fairly accurately.

I kinda dicked around on the test, but about a 3/4 would be more accurate.

Lot further left on both scales than I was four or five years ago.

About the same as always on social issues, a lot further to the right than last time on economic ones. I've definitely gotten more conservative over time.

InfinityDragon · « **Reply #14 on:** August 17, 2009, 09:11:51 PM »

Actually, I think my old score was around -3 for left/right and -7 for up/down...not that it matters since that's back when I was an idiot freshman undergrad.

Anyways:

Economic Left/Right: +7.25
Libertarian/Authoritarian: +0.40

About the same as always.

I have no idea what this means for me, and I have no idea how I scored last time (or even if I did this last time), but here you go.

It means you are fairly moderate Doma.

http://politics.beasts.org/scripts/survey Is another one from last time. I scored slightly more to the left (.6 leaning right vs .9 right) but a good deal stronger on the pragmatic scale (4 vs 2 this time).

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #19 on:** August 18, 2009, 12:36:26 AM »

That one gives you a "no opinion" option! Yay, about 1/6 of the questions on the other one I wished there was such a ground.

NotMiki · « **Reply #20 on:** August 18, 2009, 01:23:08 AM »

Interesting. Scored rather close to the center of that one, moderately left, slightly pragmatic. Makes sense. I thought the questions from that quiz were better calibrated to tease out idiosyncrasies.

Axis   Position
1   left/right    -4.3969 (-0.2647)
2   pragmatism    +2.6515 (+0.1596)

Last time I took the test, maybe some 3 years ago, I scored ~-5.5, ~-5.0, so all that's really changed is that I moved more economically to the left.

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #22 on:** August 18, 2009, 03:08:34 AM »

On the second one:
1 left/right -1.7591 (-0.1059)
2 pragmatism -0.0866 (-0.0052)

Right about where I've always been

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #23 on:** August 18, 2009, 03:14:18 AM »

The difference a middle ground option makes:

1 left/right -6.4662 (-0.3892)
2 pragmatism +0.3054 (+0.0184)

Feels a lot more accurate to me.

Dunefar · « **Reply #24 on:** August 18, 2009, 03:22:52 AM »

1 left/right +6.8528 (+0.4125)
2 pragmatism +0.4359 (+0.0262)

I didn't particularly screw around on this one.
