Check it out:

This is where I stand. And I have found it, thus far, to be a great tool in deciding what political philosophy to read, and in which order I shall read it.

I have heard of no man yet
whose tenderness has touched you,
whose given your autonomy a threat,
whose words were even showed true
through a will that could provide
which has been worthy of you to, by him, abide.

i agree with jesse that the questions kinda sucked. would like to have seen more about foreign policy - but thats always overlooked in my opinion.

Economic Left/Right: -4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.79

i like to think that compared to everyone else responding to your survey, im the moderate, or depending on your view, more conservative.

Ugh. Way too many of those questions were leading to the point that, even when my thoughts on the issue were clear, I absolutely could not answer in the terms they defined. Also, some of the questions are... ridiculous.

That said:

Economic Left/Right: 4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.31

I suppose this was to be expected.

wow - rather impressive contrast between economic and social views. imagine it must be difficult to reconcile such conflicting views when issues of poverty, corporate fraud, or democratic infringements through free market elements arise.

I was chillin with the Dalai Lama.
I, much like Kiri, didn't always know what they were talking about.
And seriously, man, if you were doing a statistical analysis, half the questions would get thrown out for bias.

I think that was the point. They were common catchy phrases that come up in political debate among civilians. Like, once you read them, you could either go "Whoa! Yeah!" or "HELLZ NAH" because it would either be something you would or wouldn't say.
