I've taken this before and I was a little lower down in the Dalai Lama's direction, but not too much different. I'm just in a foul mood.

Like I've always said, I'm pretty much smack dab in the middle politically.

Rootx, no one famous is in your quadrant. :wink:

I am a fiscal and social conservative, and I find myself about paired with the Dalai Lama? I'm quite libertarian in the sense that that I feel that government should keep its nose out of peoples' business and should size-down and disengage.

We are almost on the same spot, but you are more libertarian than me, by one unit. :)

I was only slightly off center the last time I took this. I think its because some of these questions I just can't answer so simply and sort of pick what ever I feel is closest at the time.

I think in the original they had Hitler and one member was a near match.

Some of the questions were not very well posed, for example:

There is now a worrying fusion of information and entertainment.

Am I agreeing if there is a fusion? Or if it's worrying?

It is regrettable that many personal fortunes are made by people who simply manipulate money and contribute nothing to their society.

Is this asking whether or not it is regrettable, or whether such people contribute nothing? People who "simply manipulate money" are clearly providing a service which someone is willing to pay for, else they wouldn't be making a profit.

That being said, here's my score:

Economic Left/Right: 0.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.26
 
  • #30
Economic Left/Right: -3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.64

It is all mumbo jumbo to me.
