I don't think we've had this particular "test" here before:

I don't like the economic spectrum questions, too much inference that corporate welfare and capitalism are equivalent. Protectionism and business ethics are not "left wing" any more than Stalin was actually a Marxist.

Right now, I'm picturing Akipt retaking it over and over until he gets the dot to the far right.

Ok, that can't be right.
How is it that I'm more libertarian than the rest of you?!
(Edit: Ah, social libertarian. That makes sense.)

I am close to between Kelraz and jedd. I think there is some interesting bias in the questioning. You would seem to have to be borderline militant psycho to get a solid right side score.
BTW, any help on why I cannot upload images without them being thumb-nailed?

Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races.
What? So is this asking if we're better then monkeys and birds, or talking about white/black/etc?

Well, compared to Orcs and Gnomes, I would tend to agree; but, don't get me started on Elves.
And, an interesting aside, on Sunday Morning a few minutes ago they mentioned a poll or study showing approx. 1/3 of Democrats have negative images of blacks and posed the question of how that might affect Barack Obama in the coming election.

Don't worry Bylimet........ it is only 1/3 of Democrats with land line phones ....... so it doesn't matter :)

I'd imagine that'd be similiar to the 1/3 Republicans that have negative images of the obscenely old.

Or the percentage of Republicans that have negative images of the obscenely naive and inexperienced and untested and dishonest?

I think most people do have common beliefs. The problem lies in electing someone who adequately represents those beliefs with thier policies.

Where do you think Obama and McCain, Biden and Palin would fall on that chart?

There's no place on the graph for "in someone's pocket", so no where.

Wouldn't that be right in the middle of the graph?

In the end, they usually end up near the top right, regardless of party. Placing them on the graph sort of implies that they're the ones making the choices though.

I do find the questions to be by in large very biased over all.

The authority vs liberty seems mostly reasonable but yeah, the economics questions are structured such that I'm not sure it's possible to show up conservative unless you actively beat and rob old women.
I would make a joke about K street but that's just too easy.
