go there, click 'take the test' (second link down on the left) then holla back with your result..

my result...

Economic Left/Right: -3.50
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.44

so i'm a bit left, but not to the extreme and quite libertarian too,a lmost exactly near nelson mandela on the chart. So more or less the hippy i thought - lol (lights up another incense stick!.. yeah really!!)

i agree with it

[M Dogg™]

I remember taking one of these before. Same score. Why left in Economics, and way Libertarian. Right down there with Ghandi... cool!

Economic Left/Right: -1.88
Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.67

dunno how  much i agree with it tho

[Trauma-san]

My score is

Left Right  .62
Lib/Authoritarian 1.49

I don't really agree with it though, I think i'm much farther to the right.  The Lib/Authoritarian is sort of accurate.  

Many of the questions aren't properly designed, you can tell where they're leading.  For instance, it says  "should a same sex couple be allowed to adopt".  I think they should, but that doesn't mean that I support homosexuality in any way, I just feel they'd prob. do a better job than an institution would.  

Similarly, they asked if all authority should be questioned.  I of course answered "Yes", but that doesn't make me liberal or a libertarian, it just means that it's an inevitable truth, even in our constitution, that all authority can be corrupted and should constantly be held in check.  That doesn't mean I don't accept authority, in any way shape or form... I think the test is jaded in many of the questions.

Everyone is an individual, I am more of a hippy in a lot of things, these tests just are impossible to pigeonhole most people.  I guess I'm a hippy to the extent of not being stupid about it.  For instance, I believe in saving the rain forests, etc., but at the same time, I think a lot of blame on stuff like that is improperly placed.  etc. etc. We're all like that, I've been on this board for a long time, I'm sure you've got a pretty good impression of what my beliefs are, much more than a test score could ever reflect.

I'm right there with Gandhi

but that test was irritating me with the way they worded the questions and also i think their "z" key must have been broken or they really don't know how to spell civilize
