Let's see, Ghandi and Nelson Mandella represents Left Libertairanism
Hitler, Marget Thatcher, Steven Harper (Candians know him), and [ugh] George Bush represent right wing authroitarism.

Gee, which side do you want to be on?

As Joel pointed out, they could use more examples for the centre, but I do know people who extol Thatcher and Reagan (who definitely should have been on there) as heroes. Bush was probably included as a present leader, since they did bother to add the relatively new and generally unknown (outside of Canada) Harper. And hell, Bush was voted in twice. Someone must be supporting that guy.

I am, as of yet, the ONLY PERSON to have a positive number on the economic left/right front. (!) Surely there must be another capitalist among our number?...

You can't be libertarian and left wing

You've got liberals on the right. Don't you know they're left ?

When are you guys gonna learn to spell ?

The makers of the site must have monumental patience.

Clarification: those above was questions from users, not what was used to make the test... There are the answers the maker gave to these people.

Also, there makers also apologize for using so few examples of politicians. They have more they claim, but not as well known.

Nathan: You know, the quote of "Fear Justice" doesn't hint to a fanatic libertarian either...

Well, I've always thought of myself as more or less Anarcapitalistic, but apperantly I was wrong. I suspect some of those questions about immigration and checks to prevent a wealthocracy threw my score off a touch.

My results:

Economic Left/Right: -6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.03

About where I always come on that test (I occasionally vary on how much I agree or disagree with some questions).

It makes sense, considering one of my heros is Gandhi and I'm a member of the Green party.

Sorry if I wasn't very clear about that

Drakov only has a 3 for right wing?

Yeap... He doesn't support the rich with his rulings. He supports the military.

I would put him at 0 or even left. However in order for his perverse pleasures, he is about to execute someone who owns money to the state or some else.

CLoremaster: Don't worry. I thought I was a mild Right wing Authoritarian. I ended up in the center (and slightly left). I thought the test was a bit off when I saw the scales. Sure, I'm more right than many people (especially young people in Greece) but I'm not to compare with Thatcher. I could compare with Shroder however, although I thought he was too right for me. And that were the results.

I think there should have been a "Neither agree nor disagree" choice. Several assertions fell into that category for me.

Le / Ri: -5.75
Li / Au: -3.28

Funny, I thought I was rather authoritary and more right wing (although still on the left). We learn everyday, don't we?

I've tried to answer in the role of Strahd and what I got was this:
Le / Ri: 2.38
Li / Au: 4.67

Of course it takes a lot of guessing and there are questions that simply make no sense. A way to iron these out would be to test agree and disagree for each of these qeustions keeping the rest of the test intact, but that would take a lot of time and work.

I am in the near proximity of the Dalai Lama.

Hmmm...

Nice test.

Wow.

Well, it's IC as the Fiendish Enforcer, see. But there's nothing particularly anti-libertarian about "a few simple laws strictly enforced," which is the bare bones of my position on law enforcement.
