very confusing. aparently i am a communist.!?!?!

I thought communist was more on the authoritarian side.


Not at all; a true socialist state is the most democratic political model that I am aware of. This is most likely why they have me pinned as a libertarian leftist. It occurs to me that the extremes should be in the corners?

Sorry, I thought he was using it in the 'commie' sense of the word. One never knows these days...

Commie as in the ignorant definition/belief of communism being a form of dictatorship. How I despise Stalin, Mao, Che, Castro and the rest of those pricks.

How did I miss this thread? That was fun. I have described both my religious and political position as borderline. Seems I was pretty close. I agree with ruvyen, I could have chosen neutral on a few.

My pro-labor and moderate economic views really show here. I just wished it included something about illegal immigration and the right to bear arms. I'm mainly extremely right-wing in my social views.

That score is mostly in the center, but shows mild authoritarian tendencies. Of course, the quiz itself is quite skewed as far as where it puts everyone. Most Americans I have seen take the test go somewhere in the lower left quadrant.

I just closed the damn window before I could copy the image location
but it was pretty close to Mindtears
A little more center left, but lower down on the libertarian scale

Not really. This test doesn't match the traditional American left-right spectrum. You are still a psychotic right-winger.
