I'm in about the same area I in was earlier.I believe this test has been on here before and that GGPViper put everyone's score on a chart.If I remember correctly,I was in the same general area.

LOL I saw your score and was surprised you were a right winger authoritarian!

When I was younger I was down in the bottom left, but I think where I am now is a good compromise from that.

That's pretty much completely the opposite of most of the scores that have been posted so far. :O

Didn't like the wording of some of the questions. At the very least there should have been a Neutral/Don't Know option. (And I'm economically to the left of Barack Obama? Not bloody likely.)

Much less authoritarian than I was expecting, considering I am in favor of heavily regulating the safety of the general populace (although most other regulations I tend to find unnecessarily burdensome).

If you look at Obama's actual policies and actions, at the people he puts into power, he's actually centrist to moderate-right. The Tea Party and Fox News scream about him being a socialist, but they're just picking a catch-phrase to make people dislike him; they tried calling him a terrorist, and that didn't work, and so they picked socialist instead.

I don't care what Fox or the Tea Party say. It's true that Obama doesn't want to actually nationalize anything – well, maybe healthcare – so on a Mao-to-Mises scale he's a centrist. However, he never yet met a problem he didn't think could be solved by more taxes, more regulation, more government control of the economy. He is far, far to the left of those of us who advocate laissez-faire.

I agree. But, I think that are trying to make you, make up your mind, so they can accurately gauge your political position. "Neutral/Don't Know" doesn't help with that. It just leaves holes. If some of the questions had been worded slightly different, I would have probably answered them differently though. I think my results make me look slightly more libertarian, then I actually am. But overall I think it's a pretty accurate gage of political believes.

Yes, in the US we have great political choices with the two party system. We can choose from the moderate-rightwing Democratic party or the extreme-rightwing Republican party. It is the reason I never have and never will vote in an election. The entire system is a farce. Democrat, Republican, it makes no difference. They are both the same capitalistic BS. The rich get whatever they want, and everybody else gets screwed.
