Yeah, it's pretty accurate. I didn't like how some of the questions were worded.

Social libertarian/authortarian -4.77

Sorry about that!

I think it is pretty accurate also and I agree that some of the wording could be a bit better.

I didn't like how on, some of the questions anyway, you HAD to answer agree or disagree. My minor was in marketing though, so I know that it is really hard to put specifics in the questions, especially when there are ceartain circumstances within the question topic where you might agree or disagree.

What a commie lilly livered liberal I am
Economic -6.75 Social - 5.28 that puts me between Nelson Mandela and the Dali Lama. It is about what I expected although as a previous poster said I did want to sit on the fence on some of the questions
Cheers

Not at this time, but if the American people do not find away to keep assholes out of government--who knows?

I do not consider myself an anarchist, but I am on the left.
