The test is an improvement over the current screaming on talk shows but it does have some biases. For instance, I am pretty sure my score was skewed left by support for legalization of marijuana. But I am in California, where it's being seriously considered as a method to balance the budget, in Santa Cruz at that, where yesterday's front-page picture was of huge clouds of smoke over a meadow at the UCSC 420 celebration. It's sort of a given here ;) It's also a good way to conserve some important things like textbooks in schools, lol.
but yeah, I am a far-left libertarian according to that test. Reminds me of a similar test -- or perhaps an earlier version of this one -- that asked about bilingualism. I answered the question both ways, and supporting it gave a lot of weight to "left." But the only time I ever voted was in Montreal, where they have laws about how much English or Chinese can be on signs... lol On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 10:19 AM, G Money <gm0n3...@gmail.com> wrote: > > -.38 > - 4.31 > > Just about dead center economically (yep!), slightly more socially liberal > (yep!) > > Independent through and through....YEP! > > Good test ;) > > > On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 11:08 AM, Zaphod Beeblebrox < > zaph0d.b33bl3b...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> >> Economic Left/Right: -4.38 >> Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.33 >> >> me too.
