Thanks Al

Economic Left/Right: -4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.82

Just as I thought an economic liberal and a social moderate

Economic Left/Right -4.88 : Social Libertarian/Authoritarian 0.82

It's been a while so here goes [previouis in paranthesis]:

Economic Left/Right -4.38 [-4.88]

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian 1.13 [0.82]

Yikes, I'm moving Right

Formerly:

Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.13

Now:

Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian 2.72

Drifting rightwards, socially - but staying the same on economic issues

Don't know how much longer, I can style myself a moderate liberal populist

I seriously questioned how my Social Libertarian/Authoritarian score lept from 1.13 to 2.72, so I did the compass again

Amended figures:

Economic Left/Right -4.38 (staying constant )
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian 1.90

Weird questions like that are generally part of the California F-Scale test to detect fascism. Which is stupid.

I scorred 3.333333

Within normal limits; an appropriate score for an American. (The overall average score for groups tested in the original study is listed in the 1950 publication as 3.84, with men averaging somewhat higher and women somewhat lower.)

Odd:

Economic Left/Right: +1.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.23

The PC is definitly weird if Ebowed is getting a -5.23 socially.  We need to make a new one that's more balanced.

I think the social score is pretty accurate.  It's the economic score that baffles me.

Should it be to the left of +1.13 or to the right?

The last time I took the test my economic remained constant (as it should at -4.38), while my social score jumped from 1.13 to 2.72. I did it again and scored 1.90

It's been a while:

Economic Left/Right: -3.75 [-4.38]
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.85 [1.90]

Moving towards the centre on both axis

Dave

[Democratic Hawk]

It's been a while:

Economic Left/Right -3.00 (down from -3.75)

Social Authortarian/Libertarian 0.77 (down from 1.85)

I must be mellowing nowadays
