ParticipantMein gott, I am an economic left-winger!
Economics: -0.62
Authority: -1.95I always thought I was on the extreme right on economics. So there are people out there who would actually like the 19th century way of sharing the economic spoils. I could handle that, but I am really surprised that there are many other people who would really want that. Almost everyone I know who sounds “right-wing” on economics turns out, on closer inspection, to want government subsidies and support for their activities. So I’ve always thought the real free marketeers were a tiny number. I’m still a little suspicious, and think I am unusually right-wing (libertarian) on the economics.
Good test. More objective tests of this style could civilize our political discourse.

Participant[quote]I took that test for him months ago. I need to retake because he has proved out to be far left on the economy side and since he wants the government to run everything he must be high up into Authoritarian area which I didnt realize at the time.
My uneducated guess is Obama is -8 on the left and about +6 on the Authoritarian side. [/quote]
The top/bottom scale is social and so far Obama is proving to be somewhat liberal on the social scale. He is for gay marriage, for abortion, and for stem sell research. That would be a definite ‘-‘ on that scale.
