I predict Shirley to break it and Meat to inject the broken pieces into his gluteus maximus so he can be more "buffed";) :D

Not sure how accurate the test is. For many of the questions I was searching for an I don't give a sh!t. But the results were pretty much in the middle:

economic -.08
social -2.06

[Tenchiro]

They definately need a no opinion option for many of those questions. My results were definately skewed by that.

Economic Left/Right: -4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.72

Looks like I am close to the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela and Ghandi in my views.

[DRB]

Social -2.88
Authority -2.46

[N8]

Authoritarian Right...

Makes me want to self-reflect and get in touch with my innermost feelings, or get a cheeseburger or something...

[brock]

Economic Left/Right: -3.88
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.72

[ohio]

Economic Left/Right: -2.75
Libertarian/Authority: -5.85

Damn, apparently I'm more of an anarchist than I thought. But I can't stand Ayn Rand:confused:

Or I'm just a diluted brock...

[$tinkle]

i'm tony blair's bitch.

Economic Left/Right: 1.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.23

[ummbikes]

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.90

[RhinofromWA]

Economic Left/Right: 1.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.56

:think: Hmmmmmm

[I Are Baboon]

Economic Left/Right: -1.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.33

Interesting, seeing how I consider myself somewhat conservative.

[Dirt rider]

Economic Left/Right: -3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.10


a left Libertarian..

[Silver]

Economic Left/Right: -1.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.10

Slightly to the right on economic issues when compared to the Dalai Lama, apparently.

When did Hitler take this quiz? :)

Nah, you'd be in Ayn Rand territory if you were +2.75 economic. You're safe :D

huh? then i guess we could not have a democracy, eh?

That ones asks about the road blocks put up by both parties causing nothing to happen....

But can also be a check and balance keeping either side from running amuck.

I would hate to see either Republicans or Democrats solely in charge......yikes.

[fluff]

I'm with Gandhi..

Which is nice. (Apart from the smelly flip-flop thing.)

Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.10

[Silver]

So far we have Brock in the lead for the "Jerry Falwell Godless Whore" gold medal...

$tinkle is the furthest the other way...but geez, overall we're a bunch of social libertarians.

I think it's a fair comment, it would be significant advantage. There are a lot of disadvantages however, so I would agree with that statement whilst contending that overall it would not be a good thing.

[Jorvik]

I hit just about where I thought I would:

Economic Left/Right: -0.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.87


If I could only find a way for this survey to make me huge. I think most people might take offense to the nickname "meat", but I dig it :thumb:

I took it again since originally I just posted my results from when this got passed around the office a while back. This time I was a little further left on the economics but pretty much the same on the social issues.

Guilty as charged I guess

that f*cker makes Genghis Khan look like a choirboy;) :D
P.S- since I started this I suppose I should tell you all that I unsurprisingly occupy the lower left hand part of the compass....the south west...that's where I'm from...

[Changleen]

ahem *BUMP*

I missed out on this the first time around -

Economic Left/Right: -3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.97

I'm the freakin Dali Lama... :)

Without the compassion... ;)

...what are you saying?.... ;)

N8 could not take the test. None of the questions had the answer suitable for him, "I:heart:GWB".
