Political Compass
If you're into politics, this site has a short questionnaire that will show you where you stand in the political scheme of things (ironically, if you're into politics, you probably already know where you stand, but anyways...)

I thought it was pretty interesting... feel free to post your results! I came out Left-Libertarian

Hmm Mine was -4.0 towards the Economic Left and -0.1 towards Libertarianism(which is negligible I guess)What does that make me? Leftist? :S

lol I'm not sure how to say it.. I was pretty solidly in the bottom left quadrant. Maybe we could call you left-moderate where

Socially it would go:

Libertarian - Moderate - Authoritarian

Economically:

Left - Centre - Right

Ah, I had to take this last year for a poli sci 1g06 assignment. I wish I remember where I stood so that I could compare.

My results:

Economic Left/Right: -0.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.51




Right in the middle when it comes to communism or libertarianism. Almost in the middle from the center to anarchism.

Not surprised I can predict what your answer to the patriotism/nationalism questions were They must have helped bloster your score

Lol not particular questions but I already had a general idea; eg: No one chooses his or her country of birth, so it's foolish to be proud of it: Strongly Agree?

I was just joshin'. Although the idea of a Left-leaning Libertarian boggles the mind beyond what's done by just by the the neat alliteration. They're all over the place (which can be a good thing), so I guess it means left within Libertarianism, but still the knee-jerk almost made me do a barrel roll.

LOL well, the website talks about how the aged "left-right" way of thinking is obsolete, or rather, how politics really isn't that simple...

I didn't post my numbers because I took the test on a different computer and I forgot them by the time I posted here, but they were something like -4.2, -4.5... so I was pretty squarely in the bottom left quadrant of the graph.
