The -4.75 no doubt comes from my collectivist beliefs, although I must stress I am not Marxist, Stalinist or any such form.

I can remember that mine was along the lines of -3.5, - 4.5.

It wasn't the greatest test (as others have mentioned)... I would have liked a fifth option for a number of those questions (the centre), but without any such option I tended to go for those leaning towards the left...

I am not Trickett!!!!! Heaven forbid I EVER turn into him (altho i would need a sex change, and some heavy aging, and some dope to catch up on).
Anyway, I have longer hair than he ever had.

That would make me 'libertanian left'. I actually thought I was libertanian right, but that's how it goes I guess.

:edit: And that would put me in the same spot as Mozart! Does that make me a genious as well? lol

I got

Economic Left/Right: -2.83
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.82

Being on this board sometimes makes me feel more left wing economically than I actually am...

I was placed next to the Dalai Lama:)




Interesting how they asked you things like whether you considered especially abstract modern art to be "really art" in determining where you stand politically

There was another thread on this. I cant find my old results.
Abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all. Ha. Ha.
Economic Left/Right: -1.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.77

Jesus christ. It's wrong.

I've done this test twice before, and lost the results, so this is probably not entirely accurate depending on my mood or whatever. But mainly its right.

Economic Left/Right: -7.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.92
