Are you Right or Left wing?
Even though, I have the strong feeling that most people would claim to be left-wing, as this seems to be the general case.
Some of you might find this link usefull http://www.politicalcompass.org
I was surprized with what I came up after taking that test.
(would be nice if we can have poll on "it".)

Re: Are you Right or Left wing?
I think I'm left wing.
And when I took that test about 2 years ago after having it linked from these boards, I had it confirmed. (-4,-4)
In other words....

Re: Are you Right or Left wing?
The term "left wing" loses it's already limited usefulness if it can be applied to everyone.
p.s. Obviously I'm left wing, and I don't need no damn foo' test to tell me that. Of course, I've taken it twice on these forums (once in AD, once in GD) and I'm pretty much near the bottm left extreme corner.

Surely someone posting it means they haven't seen it before, thus there are probably other people on the internet who haven't seen it before, probably some on these boards.
And people often change their views quite a lot, and might like to take the test again.
And didn't you leave a week or so ago?

I consider myself moderate left, which is exactly what the test said.
I think people should be helped, I also think most of them are idiots and it's someone else's job to do the helping.
Edit: And I'm a bit concerned that according to this site all the realistic US candidates for 2004 have more in common with Bush than with me.

I am centrist, slightly left.
I work in a high income bracket, and thus pay prodigious taxes, but dont really mind too much.

There are apparently no famous people in my quadrant. :/
Many of the questions had no reasonable (to me) answer, however; so I just picked a response at random for those (since an answer was required for all questions).

Re: Are you Right or Left wing?
I think the test is biased in its questions.
Taking the test i thought it was gay.
Having gotten the result:
Economic Left/Right: -1.50
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.56
I think it definately is seeing as how i have always thought of myself as right wing.

That's one of the problems I have with the test. I answered all those factual questions (totalitarian states do avoid the complications of multi-party democracies it's bloody obvious) and according to it you're more libertarian than me which really doesn't make sense to me as I'm about as libertarian as you can get!

Take a look at your key board and realise how easy it is to typo "n" for "b".

hmm, more authoritarian than the last time I took this test. I suppose being dualistic of mind doesn't help much when doing this test.

Jonny, i think you're just supposed to write what you feel, not apply "logic" or anything to it. Most people don't when it comes to politics anyways.
..
To call it left and right nowadays don't work. I mean, what is left or right? Only economic? Maybe only social? Are neo-nazi's left or right? And so on.
..

Politicalcompass.org is a big pile of shit devised by hippies for the purpose of sorting the left-wing (Read: 'Good') people from the right-wing (Read: 'Bad'.) people. I damn it.

Compared to two years ago :
Economic Left/Right: -3.75
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -1.85
Not much change, except that i think people are slightly stupider but deserve more power (or something). Either way, im mind numbingly wrong.
