Here's a much better, more in-depth (though longer) quiz. I'm still left-liberal libertarian. <A HREF="http://www.politicalcompass.org/">Political Compass</A><P>I like it more than the first one.<P>Booyah.<P>------------------

The first one said: "According to your answers, your political philosophy is on the border of left-liberal and authoritarian." Basically, I'm a socialist, it told me.<P>And the second one gave me: Your political compass<P>Economic Left/Right: -4.63
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -6.77<P>And yeah, I agree that the second test was a far superior test for one's political orientation. Though I still think it lacked some very important questions. And some of the questions it did have were vague and left me unsure of what to answer because I was unsure of what they were asking. But it was pretty amusing all the same.<P>#2270<P>------------------

Hm, looks like me an' Quix were taking the test at the same time...<P>Anyways, I only took the second one. Why bother with an inferior test?<P>I'm leftist libertarian, same as everyone else. Economic Left/Right: -4.25
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -6.41.<P>I'm Gandhi too!<P>We're all a buncha violent Gandhis.

I'd be a true conservative if it wasn't for my religious beliefs and my stance on abortion.... so I think that skewered my results.<P>------------------

I took a gauge-your-religion-quiz like this once. I think it told me I belong in the Universal Life Church or something, which is, from what I could gather, a Church for people who are allowed to believe in anything they want and still belong to a Church.<P>According to your first test, I'm a Centrist. But I'm right on the border between Centrist, Left Liberal, and Authoritarian. Cool.<P>According to the second test, I'm Ghandi!! How crazy is that? I'm a Left Libertarian. And here I thought I was a democrat.<P>------------------

Well, if you noticed, the first test seems to be built by the libertarians...so it might be slightly biased. It's also icnredibly simple...ten questions....so maybe with a more complex check, you're Left Libertarian instead of Centrist. I mean, I know I felt a little more confident in the second one when it started asking questions about religion and schools and such.<P>Or maybe you're unnaturally unpredictable. It could happen.<P>------------------

So now you're trying to say that the tests are rigged somehow? Heresy!<P>You fucking left liberal libertarians are all the same!<P>------------------
