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.

Silly Yank site!

It's a european site, in fact.... Congratulations on your new place as a leftie!

Well, I cannot say I'm too surprised by the results.

Sticking with my new status: even if it is of European making, it is still America's fault, somehow.

Hmm. It's probably more to the right than I'd naturally place myself, but I disagreed with the way a large number of the statements were phrased. Oh well.

Productivity, nice initiative! It'd be interesting to see how it all turns out.

Mind you, I don't really no what I'm talking about in economics, a bunch of the questions were confusing. I honestly have no idea what effect multinational monopolies have.

Interesting thing about that graph, we only have 4 authoritarians and they're barely above the line.

[FactionHeir]

I think I only didn't understand one of the questions (I think bottom of page 3 or 4)

Also, some questions really depended on how you understood/read them.
For example I would think more carefully about a question that includes the words "always" "X should be Y" "everytime".
I guess the result depends a lot on how critically you think about a given question and consider out of the box cases that might possibly not be completely agreeable.

Yes, I noticed that. I guess it is the Orgs demographic - the Org is mainly young men who are into the internet and computer gaming. I suspect they tend to be fairly liberal on the questions of sex, religion and patriotism that determine the vertical axis.

It's an interesting graph, Productivity. Maybe you could persuade Divinus Arma to include it in his post #1 of the "who the hell are you?" stickie?

It might be fun to colour code the entries by region - casual inspection suggests Euros and Yanks have rather different centres of gravity! (which I believe was the starting point for this thread ...)

Well... At least it was the final off-topic nail getting the original thread completely off course

It is actually quite surprising how many people are close to HoreTore, even though he is generally seen as being "the socialist" around here

Fairly moderate to, with a liberal lean on social issues.

Well, to be honest, I think I should be a little to the right on the economics, seeing as I want free markets, just not everywhere... Some things are best done by the state IMO. In other areas, the private sector handles things just fine, though I'd like the state to be a competitor too.

Scary, isn't it?

Well, can we be too surprised? After learning Louis was both French and a Texan, not much surprises me anymore.

That's not too far off, it's about where Pope Benedict is, though on most tests I take I'm slightly more to the right authoritarian, at about -1.5/2 and 1/2 respectively.

[Kralizec]

Economic Left/Right: 4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.49

That sounds about right. I think I may be slightly more to the left economically, I didn't like some of the questions in that test.

i would have said i was strongly libertarian/right, but i guess it's the way the questions are phrased:

I did the test and I find myself dead center.
