Who wrote those questions? They seemed pretty slanted, to me. Not all of those issues are so cut-and-dry and I noticed a lot of verbiage that liberals like to use.

Honestly I don't think that was an accurate "gauge" there where a lot of sweeping general questions that are simply not easy to put into a one line question. And a few loaded questions as well. It was fun though.
I was closer to the middle than I expected. I suspect it's because I'm sympathetic to gay issues?http://www.politicalcompass.org/print...
Very cool site. I am way down in the lower left hand corner. I seem to be in good company in my quadrant...Ghandi, the Dalai Lama, and Nelson Mandela.
That was interesting. I am Libertarian - in the Left. In exactly the same spot as you, Koeeoaddi.
Mod
Some of those questions were oddly worded, though.

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAGUH... slight variation of Alfonzo’s diabolical laugh.
Middle of the bottom left quadrant. Economic -5.75 and Social/LA -4.72.I'm just below Gandhi, which is cool, but I think I outweighed him.
Mod
Yeah, Jackie, we're right next to each other!(Does the libertarian left secret handshake)
hmmmmmm right / libertarian. Pretty close actually. However, I had to laugh at their graph of the US 2008 primaries. ha ha ha...oh yeah....everyone is right/authoritarian. heh heh. too funny. And Kucinich should be on a chart that incorporates Mars.
This reminds me of the tests we had to take all during political science... When the majority of the students had no idea what the questions were really asking, so everyone ended up about the complete opposite of what they'd previously thought they were. Like most everyone, I'm in the upper-middle bottom left quadrant. Economic -5.25, Social -3.54
There really were some strange questions in there, though, like "abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all." I'm not sure what we're being slanted at there, except maybe the use of negatives in that question mean that if you agree, you're a bad person.
This one is moderately amusing as well:

Did you know that Kucinich took Maui? Sounds like Mars a bit.
My husband is more liberal than me. How much more? My house was a Kucinich campaign office in 2004. He was a very popular candidate here in Olympia. Boy, that was an awful election year. Poor Howard Dean.
I'm liberal, but I vote Democrat. My husband voted for Nader. Sigh.
Aaaallll by myyyy seeeeeeellllllfDon't wanna be
Aaaaallll by myyyy seeeeeellllllffff

King, me too! I love Kucinich. I still laugh every single time I think of that Daily Show episode when they interviewed his wife and called her a FLILF.
Mod
Yeah. First Lady I'd Like to Fuck (or Fool around with for you no-swearing types).
Ok, NOW, I've read all the posts. I didn't see that there were more Kucinich's over there on page 1.I was bummed when he dropped out. I was about ready to print bumber stickers:
"Kucinich 2008. Take Me to Your Leader!"

I'm afraid I need to know the color of your square, Nick.
Mod
I'm in the blue square. So I'm still allll byyyy myyyyseeeeellllffff.
Nothing surprising from me, way over in the left towards communism (shudder and (surprising for me, because I do admire the firm smack of a leftist government which knows the right targets) fairly libertarian too. But actually I hate libertarians! They have no standards! Who's Kucinich? Or is it a band?
Hmmm... Paul, I heard a rumor that you are the meanest person next to Hitler.
Good one, Donna! I want to be part of that band for sure. I've been looking for an excuse to learn the harmonica.
Mod
He is short in stature, and the right wing media found him very easy to mock. Heck, everyone did. He has been mocking himself, lately.
Here's the link to the Wikipedia article about him.

Jackie, your wiki post was so much more thorough than mine. You win the "goes all the way" award. :)
Mod
Hey! I didn't realize I was that kind of girl!
Well, I didn't mean it to sound dirty. Sorry. What about the "110%" award?
I wish I was mature enough not to read lowbrow implications into every statement I read here. But I'm glad I'm not the only one who does.
I do it, too. But for some reason, I never notice when I'm the one posting lowbrow. Figure that one out...
Um...thanks?Ha, I like having you around, Donna. You add a lot here. Seriously.
I think RA deserves the "most gentlemanly" award. I've been noticing this about him for days now.
Mod
I do the same thing, making unintentional double entendres, I mean.
Hahahaha! I have been enjoying Donna allover GoodReads today. That sounds dirtier than I intend it, btw. But I laughed out loud here in the computer lab to the rocker-applesauce image. looooooovin it.
I am suprisingly up in the red box, close to center, but still - Authoritarian? wtf? Says who?
Well thank you, ladies. I, however, have a dangerous and mysterious image to uphold. *lights cigarette, puts on leather jacket, adjusts glasses, hides book*
Please take a picture. I want to see Leather Jacket Anthony as your new avatar. :)
Crap. I don't have a leather jacket. I'll put on a suit. A dangerous suit. Like that Bond guy.

Dennis Kucinich's wife is English, and 6 foot tall! Hell, I never knew that. Mind you, I never that Dennis Kucinich actually existed until a couple of hours ago. And you know I didn't really care. There's a girl in my office who's about 6 foot tall and wears high heels, and has started going out with a guy from my office who's 6 foot 7 - they're a giant couple. It's kind of cute in a Moving Redwood Trees of California way. But Dennis Kucinich is not 6 foot 7, and he's old enough to be her grandfather, so that's creepy. What's going on? Oh, I get it, he's really rich. Same old story then. What a bore.
Mod
I am 3 clicks in from Center to the Left, and three clicks down from the center toward Libertarian. Another few clicks in that direction and I'd be the Dalai Lama. LOL!!
Slightly Left, Libertarian, a couple of graph lines in on each...not quite Gandhi...yet.
Economic Left/Right: -1.88Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.77
I'm a Libertian, middle left - just like Ghandi.
Koe, my morning has reached perfection now. Love Janis.
I feel your pain Paul...the ol' sugar-daddy/trophy-wife combo. hmmmmm, so why didn't he get the Fred Thompson treatment?
