I try to take this test, but every time I see the first question I can't bring myself to finish it.
If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.
False dichotomy, and clearly biased against economic rightists.

I've stayed where I was in the Libertarian/Authoritarian category, but I've migrated to the economic right. Not surprising.

Interesting that I'm considered that far left. I tend to lay slightly to the right of center.

I'm libertarian, more so when I'm angry. I generally disregard the economic side as I acknowledge my complete and utter ignorance in this matter.

Authoritarian/Libertarian: 0.77
Left/Right: 2.0

I've shifted a bit to the right since the last time I took this test (where I scored close to neutral). Unfortunately, the new position puts me in the company of Schroeder and Chirac. Bleh.

Heh, which questions on here do you think would get the hottest debate here? I put my vote for this:
Marijuana should be legalised.
Anyway, my results:

Economic Left/Right: -0.62
Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.62

Slightly leftist, then slightly authoritarian, in about equal numbers for each?

Heh, I must be more middle ground than I think. :)

On that scale, I'm right across from (almost symmetrical, actually) from Gerhard Schröder.

Pardon my lack of political knowledge, but who's that? :?

Yay, I'm almost symmetrically his opposite, according to this thing!

Makes me happy. :D

I used to be an Anarcho-Communist, then a libertarian, but my stance on the Political Compass only changed 2 points.

Currently - I'm somewhat indifferent since I disagree with pretty much any political ideology yet.

Yet I get...

Economic Left/Right: -2.75
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.08

Guess I haven't changed that much since my Anarcho-Communist days....
