I have no clue if anybody posted this in the old forum. This is not new, but I want to see where you guys are anyway
I surprised myself when I took this. I'm planning on taking it again when I can concentrate on it better to get a more accurate reading, but I'm sure it was directionally-correct.
I am:
Economic -.50
Social -2.67
Proof positive that people can and do change. I used to consider myself a republican.
I'm also living proof that a God delusion affects your political leanings, but we already knew that. |

I'm apparently spot on with the Dalai Lama too.

Though I've seen this and taken it several times, it is a good exercise to re-examine one's position from time to time. Though I would prefer the questions not lock one into an "agree/disagree" position. Some questions I have no care for importance. Isn't there a political test that allowed for degree of importance?
All in all I like a feee market, and want the government out of my bedroom. I suppose this is close enough.

If my memory serves my right, I'm a little down and right of the Dali Lama.

I think I used to be -6.## on something, I don’t know which one though , results appear to fluxuate because this looks similar to what I remember what it was the time I took it before the last.
It's fun to look at the locations of the EU nations one, Sweden are the only ones coming even close to the South West Quarter.
Is it me, or does politics, at least in America, only seem to opperate in the North East Quarter? _________________ -------------------------------------------
