Radicalism 72
Socialism 25
Tenderness 37.5
These scores indicate that you are a tough-minded moderate progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a liberated atheist. It appears that you are cynical towards religion, and have a suspicious and unsympathetic attitude towards humanity in general.
Your attitudes towards economics appear capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as libertarian.
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, an idealist with very few strong opinions.
Huh, weird.

These scores indicate that you are a progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a university professor. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.Socialism 43.75
Tenderness 53.125
Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a political centrist.
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, an idealist with many strong opinions.
This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.
So as it turns out I'm pretty rad!
Radicalism 91.25
Socialism 37.5

These scores indicate that you are a progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with an animal rights activist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Okay. First off, a centrist with many strong opinions? I can live wit that. Secondly, this test is horribly skewed towards the USA. I think the American government doesn't spend enough on welfare, I think the Belgian does too much. I can't pick based on the Belgian use of social welfare, can I? Secondly, the questions are deliberately set to confuse or to muddle things together. Two statements in one sentence, with just an agree/disagree, but no possible way to say I agree with one and disagree with the other? That's BS and renders the whole test untrustworthy and unreliable.

And here we were, all thinking GasBandit was the most cuddly fuzzball on these here forums.
What about some political compass? I understand it may be less accurate/scientific if it's not based on actual research (as they say on the S A T site) but whatever.

We've already done that one around here a few years ago. I'm pretty sure I've moved over quite a bit since, I should really go and try to find it again....
Also, hello, my name is Ghandi, who're you
[DOUBLEPOST=1377610622,1377610359][/DOUBLEPOST]Here we go, my graph from last time:
I've moved a bit to the right, and I've stayed almost exactly as libertarian as I was. Huh.

Surprised that I'm considered more Libertarian than Gas.
OMG, I'm centrist as hell, though slightly left and slightly libertarian.
Actually, I'm not all that surprised. I would've been far more left and libertarian in my youth, though.

Remember, on this graph, the Libertarian/Authoritarian scale is mostly socially weighted - the Left/Right is the economic portion - and really I think that it would be more correct to reverse that.
Oh, look, Tegid said that already. Doh.
Anyway, the Y axis is abortion, prayer in schools and gay marriage, etc. The X axis is Socialist/Capitalist. If I'm reading it right.

I know, right?
I think the original survey left out an entire wedge of the population or something.
EDIT: Here's my graph.
I know I've taken this test before (and saved the graph), but I'm not where I can get to it right now.
If I remember, I'll upload the previous, but no promises.

Radicalism 47.25
Socialism 6.25
Tenderness 62.5
These scores indicate that you are a tender-minded moderate; this is the political profile one might associate with a protective parent. It appears that you are accepting of religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.
Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as right-wing.
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a pragmatist with several strong opinions.
Apparently the trend here is to NOT be tolerant of religion in this forum. I think I only saw 1 other that was. Big surprise (not).
The other website, holy shit strawman! But anyways:
This one is on crack. Authoritarian may be about right... sometimes... but not really... but economic? Ya f'n right.

Replace "religion" with "race" in your statement, and you might start to see why it's important to be accepting of other religions, not just tolerant. They ARE two very different things.
Nope, those are very different things. One you are born with, the other is a decision.
I tolerate religion. I have friends who are religious and share that point of view. Push it on me or try to white-wash all the bullshit that has been done in the name of organized religion, then we have a problem.
As I said, the test doesn't say people aren't tolerant of religion. Not sure where you keep getting that from.
Fair enough, I overstated with "not tolerant" though it apparently is fair to say many are anti-religion. I guess you can kind of be tolerant, and wholeheartedly against it.
I hear you. Too many people think that there is no middle ground, and that if you aren't religious, then there must be no alternative than that you hate religion and seek to have it eliminated.
Tell it like it is, Neil.

Am I too late to the game?
Either way, not too surprised by this.

Your attitudes towards economics appear communist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as left-wing.

I am very left-winged, yes, although I also don't like the way this thing scores economic views, I'm not exactly a communism advocate...

I always felt that was the case but it's still nice to see that made explicit.
What about the lowest scores?
