You may also want to check out the political compass test.

I'd be somewhere along the line between Democrat and Libertarian.

Well, if you think about it as down being economic freedom and right being moral control, it does make sense. Yuppies are all about free economy, that?s how they make their money. They also follow a pretty Victorian lifestyle, with many things as taboo for them. That means they tend towards the moral control side of things.
However, we all know that religious fundamentalists (aka Christian fundamentalists) are all about moral control, that?s their shtick. However, although they follow the economic ideals of republicans, they are not the money-makers yuppies are.
So IMO, yea, it makes sense they are together. And don't all the people in economic power profess they are Christians (aka Bush's administration, everyone in senate, etc.)? Of course, that is a discussion for another thread.

It's tough for me to say simply because I think economic issue require individualized attention rather than a blanket policy. Defintly far left on moral issues, and a cross between libertarian & hippie on economic (I know that sounds kinda contradictory, but I think you get what I'm generally saying).

Hey unbeliver, I took that test. I am on the same economic scale that you are, but further left on the social scale by about 5 boxes. Pretty fun test I must say.
Economic Left/Right: -7.50 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.90
I couldn't get the pic saved right, so I couldn't post it.

I was an economic right and a socially libertarian. It's just what I expected it would be.

All this forum is anymore is Lefties and Libertarians. We need someone to mix it up some. Where's a fascist post from looner2 when we need it?

i envision a political map as a sort of wheel, with anarchy in the center and statism on the rim. the different spokes represent different political ideologies, each becoming a more extreme flavor of collectivism toward the edge of the wheel.

That is a very slanted test in my opnion. I mean the first question "If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations." That way the question is worded makes even pro-business people seem like they are against corporations. That is if the humanity choice is on the anti-capitalist side, which is ridiculous. Also, trans-national corporations are made up of people, who are part of humanity!

I agree that the Political Compass test has some rather slanted questions, but somehow, the results always seem to reflect the person's politics anyway.

Last time I took that quiz I was very close to Ghandi, now I have moved further down towards Libertatian.
