I'm surprised it's as far to the right as it is. So, I s'pose I'm *almost* a lefty.
You are a Libertarian. And closer to being a righty than a lefty.

You seem to be amused.
Ok. I took it again just to make sure I didn't answer something the way I thought I would. Not a huge variance.

Economic Left/Right: 1.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.56

I think there's 1-2 questions I might have chosen the "strongly" whereas the first time I just picked agree or disagree.

Once you read the analysis your results will be skewed.

You are a righty, congrats and welcome to the club. Now lets make fun of the dudes like Flyboy.

Well, exactly, but I took it again just to make sure I wasn't completely off base reading the questions. My second try is essentially the same as the first.

Does this mean you won't call me a hippy anymore?

What does it mean if the needle on my compass points straight up? Besides that I'm horny.

It means you're not as old as you think you are.

Now this one doesn't surprize me too much....in fact, when I posted earlier I was thinking of you and figured it would be close to this...the -4.36 is a little higher then I thought.

I think Lee will have similar results to yours......And do you think I will quit calling him a hippie?

You better not.

Now... time to shop for a new pair of Birks.

It would be easy enough, but I don't have a strong enough opinion on this. I'm a fence-sitter, remember

I'd prefer to be called open minded, but whatever works...

Well, if it's a picket fence you're sittin' on, you may be on to something.

And you are verrrry opened minded, Bill, that's why we love you.

I'm -1.88 Economic Left and -4.56 Social. Not too surprising to me.

I do stand up for the things I'm passionate about - I'll go head-to-head with anybody here on some things. It's just that most of the time, I'm willing to listen to the opposing arguments and understand the point of view.

Economic Left/Right: -3.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.38

I'm shocked .... shocked I tell ya!
Lies, lies .... all lies. I blame the MSM for poisoning my mind.
Or maybe it's just backlash against my 1950's conservative, authoritative upbringing.
Or aliens ... illegal or extraterrestrial.
Wait a minute ... I think Gandhi did it. Yeah that's it, I've been brainwashed by Gandhi!
Ha, do what you will diaper boy, I ain't givin' up cheeseburgers!

Economic Left/Right: 2.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.56

I'm not undecided...at least, I think so.

Left/Right: -3.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.90

For some reason I thought I'd be closer to 0 on the economic scale, but overall it sounds about right.
