I checked this out and looking at where it put me and where it put others... It's very innacurate. That, and categorization of people like this test does isn't very accurate either...

 

Edit: Okay not that innaccurate. It's accurate based on the parameters it uses.

Why do you say that?

 

I think it's a fairly accurate test... Oh well.

 

It's accurate based on the parameters the test is set up to use. However, I share different agreements with different sides. It put me near Gandhi in the test though. It's just that some of the questions asked didn't allow my to give a proper answer other than the four options available. IE, some of my veiws on things can't simply be answered by yes and no. The questions seemed rather... 'black and white' to me. Why isn't there an option for 'none of the above', instead of Agree/Disagree and Agree/Disagree Strongly?

Actually, as for the 'None of the above' idea, that's actually dealt with in the FAQ's , I believe their intention behind it was that it forced you to make a choice...

 

Ah well, I think that this is the most accurate one out there, but, then, most of these are pretty inaccurate...oh well... they're still fun to take.

Wanna know what's even more surprising? Obama is a conservative:

Those who say that Obama is a liberal may exit now.

 

The American scale of politics is somewhat skewed. This test is more universal in it's politics, while American politics takes place almost entirely in that upper right hand box. So, divide that in 4 quadrants, and you get American politics.

 

Apparently, I'm pretty much the same as everyone else here.

Also: props to Rev7 for being a leftist authoritarian.

Left wing of Ghandi :D No mean feat for a devout Christian :xp:

 

I may be Neo-Pagan, but I've read the Bible, and Jesus was an upstanding guy. Knocking over money-changing tables in the temples (y'know, that story is a good argument for reviewing the tax-exempt status of certain churches...), telling the rich young man to sell all he had and give it to the poor, the story of the Widow's Mite...

 

And the loaves and fishes. Did he take a larger share because he was leading the movement? No. He distributed his bounty equally.

 

My Score:

 

Economic Left/Right: -9.25

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.46

 

I'm not too surprised, as I know I'm a left-wing radical. I've gone protesting in the streets, have Congress's switchboard programmed into my phone, and tried to register my political affiliation as Freedom Socialist. Yes, I've also been a subscriber to their newspaper for over 10 years.

I have been told on several occasions that I can't be a Christian because I'm a lefty ;)
