I found myself in the same spot as Milton Friedman.

Economic Left/Right: 6.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.03

I'm sure if I took the test again in a week I'd get a different score. It's hard to Strongly Agree/Disagree with half of those inane questions.

So did I. 6.0 and -1.20. But some of the questions were ridiculous. Whoever wrote the thing knows nothing about writing good research questions. I'm surprised the one about whether you've stopped beating your wife or not wasn't in there.

A pox on your houses.

Those last few religious questions saved me from being an anarchist.

Econ -3.38

Soc. Lib. -4.92

I am right on top of Gandhi. I want everyone to use the same reverence you would have for Gandhi whenever you refer to me. You owe it to me as the intellectual standard bearer of the Mahatma's legacy.

The survey is poorly constructed because half the time the propositions were absurd. You could see stupid quotes from Marx, Ghandi and certain extremists with no realy neutrality or middle ground.
