Political Compass

I took this survey a while ago, and just re-discovered it today. I was wondering where everyone who frequents this forum would show up. It'd make for an interesting chart, that's for sure!

http://www.politicalcompass.org/

click the "take the test" link on the top left and report back here with your numbers!

Myself:
Economic Left/Right: -8.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.23

Shows an interesing bias in the test. I usually test very middle in economic evaluations, but here it's got me half-way left.

I also think they probably put me a bit too far to the left. I'm not really centrist, but I'm not that liberal either.

Was anyone else kind of confused by the random appearance of propositions like this?: "When you are troubled, it's better not to think about it, but to keep busy with more cheerful things."

Normally I score a little bit more to the right economically, but more to the left socially. The entire test seems a little skewed towards the "Authoritarian" half of the grid.

about where I thought:

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.64

I lined up almost exactly with Ghandi. Yes - I am pretty far left on many things.
