I'm suprised that so many of us are down in the bottom left quadrant.
When I had some of my students do this, there was much more variation, and it was very reflective of the spectrum of political opinions in the seminar room.
I wonder what that says about the STW crowd. I mean, I would have expected us all to drive Volvos, have beards (males only, obviously), wear sandals off the bike (and preferably through the whole winter), and use Macs, but where we don't actually do this, we all seem to be giving Gandhi a run for his money.
I seem to be exactly one metric Ghandi.
saxonrider -my guess is like in most groups the right wing stwers do not want to admit it so are not doing the test. same as usually opinion polls underestimate Tory votes and have to have a correction applied as people deny want to vote tory

Oh come off it - what forum are you talking about ? There's plenty on here who are not in the least bit shy to tell you how much the admired Thatcher and how much they dislike the left.
The truth is that if Thatcher weren't doolally and could do the test, she wouldn't score as authoritarian as they claim she is. Their political analysis of people is crap. I didn't like the woman but to suggest that Thatcher was considerably closer, by a country mile, to Hitler than to Gandhi, just more right wing than Hitler, is absurd.

EDIT: I normally get this to work, must be a left wing conspiracy - a scintilla to the left of Stoner - same on libertarian axis.
Stoner - good to see all us swivel eyed right wing loons are so far right on the graph.
and has me far further left that I am
Just as well self-awareness wasn't charted.

Not a left wing conspiracy.....there you go :
Possibly right wing incompetence though.
EDIT : You're not even very right wing.........shame on you.
Why thank you comrade.
You're not even very right wing.........shame on you.
I know but at least I can seek comfort in the swivelled eyes.
EDIT: You are dead handy with the tools of this forum - read that which ever way you wish.
Looks like I'm a standard STW-forumite
Damn! Nuke the mankind. Maggots!
No real surprises.
In the middle pretty much.
In the cold light of morning and a bit more thought given to the answers, I've now changed.
But only because the options are agree/disagree and one does not have the mleh! option.
Economic Left/Right: -6.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.77
Somewhere between Mandela and the Lama.
Looks like i'm a leftie after all?
About where I thought I would end up
Load of bollox if you ask me. Every time I hear 'libertarian' I think of those fools in the US vying for power.
