  Economically I was about +1.5

  Authoritarian/Libertarian I was about -3.33.

  Aztec I am not suprised by the results this board leans left quite a bit.

  -6.75

  -2.10

  what does this mean? Who should I suddenly go out and vote for knowing what I now know??? The closest historical politicians Ghandi and Nelson Mandela ........peaceful sort of guys I suppose. Better than matching up with Hitler Stalin or Sadamm.

  I moved a little further to the left economically than the last time I took this test. Maybe it's because the test questions are a bit different, but I still consider myself a "moderate" .

  Economic Left/Right: -4.38
  Authoritarian/Libertarian: -5.28

  Hey Jelly, I am not surprised either. I think once you leave a high control cult you tend to swing the other way. I find myself leaning ever to the right as I age though. Yeah, yeah I'm getting old..LOL!

  Jelly,

  Aztec I am not suprised by the results this board leans left quite a bit.

  i think thats because everything considered economically balanced in Europe is considered left wing in the US.

  I am Economic left/right -4.00, Authoritarian/libertarian -6.15

  I think the answers so far are very interesting. The trend is definately towards lefty libertarians! I wonder why. There doesn't seem to be many mainstream political parties that reflect these values. I wonder what score Tony Blair, Charles Kennedy and IDS would get on this test. I suspect that peoples policy decisions do not actually reflect their core values as measured in this test.

  Just out of interest, looking at the results so far:

  Of the responses that included their numerical results, 22 people had negatives for both Economic left/right and Authoritarian/Libertarian. The averages were:

  -4.17 for Economic left/right

  -3.50 for Authoritarian/Libertarian

  Only 4 responses had a positive score for Economic left/right. The average of these was +1.87. Interestingly, all of these had negative scores for Authoritarian/Libertarian. The average was -2.15.

  I've no idea what we can tell from this, except that it explains why the board of late has come to resemble a joint venture between Hezbollah and David Icke....lol
