Heartland

I seem to recall we might have had this before, but what the hey?

Clicky

I got -7.12 on the Economic scale (left wing / right wing) and -8.21 on the Social scale (libertarian / authoritarian) which would seem to make me some kind of anarcho-syndicalist.

Economic Left/Right: -5.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.82

I'm the Dhali Llama. Well, I'm glad their search is over...and the old one isn't even dead yet.

i'm pretty much in the same place with Nelson Mandela, Dalai Lama and Gandhi. Hmm. Not the worst place, i suppose.

Likewise, but I expect most of us probably are (except maybe richeyjames... )

Reading some of the other parts of their site, it's quite mind-boggling to consider that "New Labour" are more right-wing than the Tories were pre-Thatcher.

Also shocking quite how authoritarian all the UK parties are.

Economic Left/Right: 1.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.13

Economic Left/Right: -2.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.38

Further to the right than Ghandi, but I'm more liberal than he is

Economic Left/Right: -7.25

But now I need the 'York Notes' to explain what it all means.

Whee! Ness is more of a lefty than me!

Collectivised any farms yet comrade?

Economic left/right- -5.62

Aw, that's nice, I'm in the Ghandi area as well. Always knew I was special

Not to far from Ghandi.

Economic Left/Right: -4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.28

I'm pretty damn near that bottom-left corner.

Economic Left/Right: -5.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.15


not moody anymore

Economic Left/Right: 2.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.15:
libertarian right

it means that I'm close to the center and which is true, but hey! I'm alone whit that kind of thinking... and that is good

Hmm...

Economic Left/Right: -8.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.95

I'm not surprised.

I remember doing one of these at school back in 1983!

(I'm sure I was in roughly the same place on the graph then, as well)

I got -

Economic Left/Right: -1.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.56

Well, i suppose it's good to see that most people score on the quadrant opposite to where people like Blair, Bush and Olmert are.

i do wonder about my own result, i gave many hardline right answers, well at least 2-3, but i suppose they were overshadowed by what i think would be 'fair', as much as i hate communism i hate the rule of megacorporations, and as much as i hate 'anything goes'-liberals, i hate people who want to control others.

The line between what is freedom and what is deliberate subversion is not easy to see, but that doesn't mean it's not there. And...
this is what both liberals and far-right christians today seem to be missing.
Liberals think anything should be allowed because otherwise it curtails personal freedom, which to an extent is true, but not anymore when some group of people takes advantage of it, and on the other hand the far-right christians, they're not all christiand but whatever, for the sake of brevity and all that..., miss the point that not everyone who doesn't think premarital sex isn't a sin is trying to subvert their society.

From what i've gathered, many christians (and let me say i'm not affiliated with them nor do i agree with christianity at all) are less narrowminded than many atheists, yet they have this understandable and justifiable fear of subversion that makes them appear much more narrowminded than they are.
In the end, Christ did not preach narrowmindedness at all and there are christians who do understand that subtle point.

Oh well.

PS: What Tidal said in the next post reminds me to mention that what bugged me were some questions for example that included the devious word 'always' or 'never' in them. Well, i think i would also be more towards right if such questions weren't deliberately made to steer any reasonable person towards the left. i mean there are degrees to everything and one can hardly say always or never to anything whatsoever.

So it does, and did, occur to me that perhaps this test is made with a certain political agenda in mind. And why not?
