I thought this was an interesting experiment, a bit like Myers Briggs, but for Politics:

That was interesting, even though I don't really put much store in these types of tests:
Economic Left/Right: -8.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.38

"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."
I would have liked a "true neutral" option on some of the questions. 
Economic Left/Right: -4.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.69
On the graph showing where some leaders might score, I am very surprised to find Jacob Zuma and Barack Obama in such close proximity. Makes me doubt the accuracy of that particular graph a little bit.

The truth is, I probably have the most radical views of anyone on this board. But what that test doesn't appear to take into account is the ability to empathize with people with different points of view.Lalaith wrote:I guess!

Well, that's what happens when you grow up with the Land of Oz as your working model of state power!

“Wilbur never forgot Charlotte. Although he loved her children and grandchildren dearly, none of the new spiders ever quite took her place in his heart. She was in a class by herself. It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both.” E. B. White, who must have had vison in mind. There's a reason why we kept putting the extra i in her name in our minds!

I'm the Weirdest Overallest, though! Let's see anyone beat that -16.09 "Emerald City Or Bust" cumulative score!
