IMO, most of these questions are complete bunk.
I agree. It's hard to believe someone with half an education wouldn't think the majority of those questions have some serious bias issues.

There were too many issues where I felt like there was no adequate blanket response to the question, so I just had to make a guess. That said, I can see I'm to the right of this hornet's nest of Cougarguard left-wingers. ;)

I just think it's great that I'm closer to center than just about anyone who's tried it. That makes me the board moderate. :)

It's funny that I'm even further right than you, although I would say I'm more center than right.

You're barely more economically to the right of me, but lightyears away on libertarianism. We're polar opposites there.

Whoa! 0.51 and 0.50. I'm right there with Tex. I'll have to start defending him...

What a stupid set of questions. I pretty much flipped a coin on about half of them.

Get off Gandhi! He's hungry.

I came out Economic 3.25 and Social Libertarian Authoritarian 2.15. Sounds like a pretty good place to be to me.

Economics okay but you are an authoritarian friend. Geeze, you make Tex and Indy look like Gandhi.

My ranking was odd in that no famous person was in my quadrant. Hmm, I guess mine is not politically sellable.

I think they've got Milton Friedman for your quadrant.

I've seen another poll/graph that has more historical figures. I don't know where it went though.
