    Apparently, I am a socialist. How delightful - I must tell cook.

    Your scored -1.5 on Moral Order and 3 on Moral Rules.

    The following categories best match your score (multiple responses are possible):
    System: Socialism
    Ideology: Social Democratism
    Party: No match.
    Presidents: Jimmy Carter
    04' Election: David Cobb
    08' Election: Barrack Obama


    As with the other survey, this one sees things through the lens of US politics and without understanding that there are often several answers.

    The 16th question for example, on the law; after some cogitation, I selected the "prevent the causes of crime" - which is clearly meant to be the far left answer. But whilst I believe we should do our best to remove the social conditions that often lead to crime (poor education, disenfranchisement, poverty) because it seems clear to me that if people have no stake in society, they have naught to lose in breaking society's laws for gain - I also believe that lawbreakers should be dealt with extremely harshly, with life sentences meaning life with hard labour, no release.

    Most of the questions posed are therefore biased to fit one into a "pot" so to speak.

    All good fun though. Time to go and oppress the workers (sorry, liberate the workers).

    Jabarto, you will find that compass here. But you have already taken the test.
