    Every test I take puts me in Ayn Rand's group, Drew Carey is another one. But this test was pretty ambiguous, and I lost interest around halfway thru page 4.

    Yes - and on more that just some of the questions, I wanted to say, I'd like another answer choice please. None of these fit. :laugh:

    BUT I thought dead center was pretty level for being the meanest teacher at school :O

    Did you get a new paddle for Christmas?

    You don't wear those half moon glasses do you? I recall Ms Beckard wore those glasses and boy was she mean.

    I'm close to the center, too, though you are a little closer.

    I thought my score would have been more on the progressive side but I guess that my conservative positions on social issues such as abortion and homosexuality prevented that.

    I ended up very close to you, -3.38/-1.79. I don't understand, however, how they can label left as "liberal" and right as "neo-liberal." Also, the test shows an extreme bias by showing almost all the examples in the upper right quadrant with almost none in the libertarian half.

    as the late Prime Minister George Diefenbaker said: Dogs know what to do with poles.

    Cheers,

    My figures were 4.00 and 1.68.

    The little red dot was the right of center and in the upper right quadrant.

    Does that mean I'm right wing but not a fanatic about it?

    Nope, those are the exact coordinates that depict a person who has been deemed more humble than Moses.

    Such is always the case. Depending on the questions of the half dozen tests I've taken, I'm always center right and sometimes center left.

    Some members are such radical leftists that a centrist appears to be a member of the "radical right" to them.

    Woo-hoo! I knew I was humble, but I didn't think I was that humble. Hey, everybody, I'm humbler than Moses! Now that's something to brag about.
