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

Even Jag can be reasonable sometimes, he just leads with his bleeding heart. If you're really looking for an off-the-hook Lefty, have Idaho take it. I bet the chart can't measure him.HoreTore seems like a socialist, but he can be reasonable. What you need is JAG to stop by and take the quiz.

Re: Political alignment analysis
Ok I have done some updates and added some extra things. First the main chart has been updated - SFTS is now the closest to the average of the org.
Secondly I've added an EU/US/Other category with varying series. I haven't put names or the average into this as I'm trying to keep it less busy than the original chart - cross reference to that if you want to find yourself. If I've incorrectly categorised you I'm sorry, get back to me and I'll change it.
Last I've put together a comparison to find distances between all members. This just does a simple calculation (who can remember back to high school and finding the length of the hypotenuse?) between every member and plots it. The closer to green/the smaller the number, the closer you are, red is the opposite.
If you want to include these in your thread Divinus Arma, feel free.

If you'll note, Sasaki, we Americans are spread all across the spectrum, whilst you Europeans are all clustered in the bottom left quadrant. I'd say this speaks highly for our diversity of thought.

Re: Political alignment analysis
Good work, Productivity.I think the two unknowns on your graph (Geoffrey_S and I) are both Euros.
I wonder what is the mean difference in the horizontal and vertical axes between the Euros and the Yanks? The graph makes it look like the big difference economic, but the Euros are also lower on the social scale.
True, but none of European "rightwinger" I know have taken the test yet....whilst you Europeans are all clustered in the bottom left quadrant.

Re : Re: Political alignment analysis
Ho-ho, hang on! We are dealing with .Org demographics.
For one thing, the French DevDave's or Fragonies don't speak English. At least not enough to participate on an English forum for recreational purposes.
I think the continental orgah demographic in general are even more skewed towards the younger and better educated than the .org in general. I.e. liberal, leftist college or recent ex-college students. The continental Xiahou's, Dons and Odins are not here either. It is one thing that I've noticed before, that the Americans here are much more varied than the Euros.
This is very interesting, Productivity. Thanks for your effort.
Mind taking the test? I'm quite curious to your result.

Re: Political alignment analysis
Ha! Excellent observation, Louis; we Yanks sometimes forget what part of the european population would likely ever visit such a place as totalwar.org's backroom, let alone participate.
I took HoreTore's survey twice: once last night after several beers concluding a particularly strenuous 2 weeks of work. That result:

then again, this morning, sober, after watching some of the political talking-heads TV shows:
Economic Left/Right: 6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 8.05 Ghengis Khan was a weenie compared to me!
My explanation for the disparity is, when drinking, I'm less likely to want to control my environment. Sober, I crave absolute control, as long as I'm the one in-charge!
Either that, or I'm a nut case.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

Sounds about right on the Social side, but I figured I'd be a little more positive on the Economic. I don't trust the government, but I don't really trust unregulated corporations either.

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.

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.

Hmm, this seems to tell us that is the Europeans who have a off kilter sense of left and right politics, not the Americans.

Re: Political alignment analysis
Did you check out the EU political compass? And the US primaries compass?
But sure, you're correct, how else would the Europeian goverments be in that square while the people in the opposite one?
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?

Hmmmm, interesting range of alignment, (but that's obvious in the Backroom without the quiz), it's interesting to see that the age of the Orgah generally relates to the alignment. The younger members seem to be more left and liberal than the older members.
