    Yes, thanks for the link!

    I got:

    Economic Left/Right: -4.75
    Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.67

    Puts me somewhere near Nelson Mandela. Interesting.

    Not sure what to think about my score.

    I’m more close to the Dalai Lama than Nelson Mandela.

    Economic Left/Right: -6.12
    Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.00

    Anyway, its fun to see that I agree with Jim on the economy. But it look like I’m in the left of the left, which is quite funny since I’m a social democrat. I wonder if these scores are really relevant.

    I wouldn’t count on it…but it’s kinda fun anyway.

    The whole thing made me laugh a bit, in that they write a whole bunch about how the left/right continuum isn’t comprehensive enough for people’s complex political views, and then go on to try to reduce you to 2 dimensions instead of just one.

    Clearly the true point is that it’s very likely most people are too the left on certain issues and the right on others.

    I scored Economic left -6.25 and Libertarian -2.0
    Does that sound like a motherly position?
