    Can someone explain to me what this means? Please be kind in your descriptions.

    Well, according to their website, I'm more a Libertarian than you are, for one.

    Honestly, the big difference is most likely that you don't trust big corporations any more than you trust big government and that's skewing your results on the economic scale.

    Remember, I'm in more Ayn Rand, Milton Freedman territory. You're probably where most people who fit the more generally accepted view of Libertarians reside.

    Odd as my evaluation of you has been a "reasonable conservative", my own grouping.

    Well this is true, but I do trust corporations more then government, at least with them its all about profit.

    As I spend more time here and evolve my outlooks given others opinions I find myself leaning more and more to the right, with a few notable exceptions.

    You're a trouble-making moderate who insists on stymying any progress in any of the four directions the scales measure!

    Silly Yank site! If I were American, right now I'd turn myself in for being a subversive fifth columnist commie!

    Whereas in fact I am a moderate centre-rightist!!1! I guess this test proves HoreTore's theorem. The rightwing Euros register as ultra-left on an American scale, and the leftist Americans as centrist.
    Has any Euro here made it into the + on this scale yet? Where's Fragony?
    I'm also dying to find out where Tribes or JAG would end up.

    If there was(is) anything having to do with Larry Craig that is worth talking about anymore, we would be (or soon will). Not a bad tangent, imho

    Hmm, Interesting. I think this is a good time to split this thread however.

    So for all the talk about how I'm socially conservative, actually, the guys on the right that say I lean left on social issues are correct.

    Well, I agree with that, seeing as I agree with you a surprising number of times...

    Don is one of those agreeable people on the other political scale. There's a few of them running around here.

    My results are about the same as the usually are.

    Economic Left/Right: -6.25
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.26
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    I'm fairly moderate, like I figured. A little more left on freedoms though, but not much.
