Economic Left/Right: -5.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.67
Don't forget to [link|http://dotcommie.org/projects/compass/?wtd=add|put yourself on] [link|http://dotcommie.org/projects/compass/?wtd=view&group=iwethey|the graph]! (Use a group of "iwethey".)

Where's Mr. More-Left-Wing-Than-Stalin?
I haven't changed too much since the last time couple of times: [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71952|Economic: + 0.75, Auth/Lib: -4.21] and [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=124723|L/R = -0.88 A/L = -2.77]
This time:
Eco L/R: -0.50, Auth/Lib: -3.28.
Ya suppose marlowe would drag us into the upper right quadrant?
Cheers,
Scott.

I've moved.
I've gone more Economically Left and more Authoritarian. But I think the questions have changed.

Darn near the center

Does this make me one of those middle of the road moderates?

Dunno.
Just for kicks, I took it again and answered Strongly Disagree or Strongly Agree to every question, skewing the answers to a right wing/authoritarian extent. The scores were:
L/R = 10.0
L/A = 8.05
Scary.
So there doesn't seem to be a bias toward the lower left.
Cheers,
Scott.

That sounds about right (or is it left?)
I havent read the rest of this thread yet, but I'm wondering how imric felt about the question that stated something like, "In order to be moral, you must be religous." (For the record, Skip, I answered Strongly Disagree.)
