Retook again. It must be that time of year or something, an urge to take this test comes on me.

2009 Jul 11
Economic Left/Right: -6.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44

2008 March 10
Economic Left/Right: -8.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.82

2007 February 2
Economic Left/Right: -8.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.90

2005 October 15
Economic Left/Right: -6.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.72

It's really interesting how my economic scores work out. So far I've basically only had two values, but for a few years they were two points to the left. I guess it must be that only one thing has changed about my thinking: a free market is a good thing, although only if carefully inspected and when necessry, regulated. So with that, I'm back to my 2005 thinking, it seems.

Socially I'm becoming more liberal.

But I don't care so much about an external evaluation of my beliefs, but rather about your scores. Come on, take the test again and post 'em!

Gandhi's nothing to be proud of.

Interesting, Freen. The trend changed in your case too. And it's not the economy either, as we were already in recession in October 2008.

Indeed. I suppose the question is, what does that mean?

If we're going to have a go at raising some spirit on this board again, why not this fun thread?

Just took the test again. I was pretty sure I had drifted to the right both socially and economically but I think now I was wrong. Some people think I'm a closet racist/chauvinist, I'm really not... it's just that occasionally the logical outcome of some situations will be an uncomfortable truth, and I'm learning not to say those in public any more, but I'm not afraid to answer them to an online quiz.

LOL. I've nearly reversed my previous score. Went back toward the Right in terms of economics, but became more libertarian as well. Still pretty close to center though.

Well well. How interesting indeed! I have completely and utter flipped economically. Libertarian trend is conserved though.

Interesting. I shifted right, then centerward economically, but have been going steadily libertarian socially.

Some things change.

And some things stay the same.

Economic Left/Right: -10.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.69

I have no idea how that keeps happening. I mean, yes, I am fairly "left" in both respects, but still...

What's even more amazing is my consistency over the course of 5 years... :unsure:
