That's a really good idea, I would like something like that to happen. And I don't even know where I am on the scale. Although, that's only because I have no idea what any of this means, this poll has made me very embarrassed, because of how ignorant I am :/. I had to take a test, and that only confused me more.
Eeek! I just saw the chart for famous people. I now think I'm a bit of an extremist. I'm much more of a libertarian than Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama and even Gandhi. :O
I shouldn't be sitting here on IIN. I should be leading repressed countries to freedom!
I just finished. That is a very naughty test in some of the attitudes it questions about war and culture and caring for each other. Anyway, I got:
Economic Left/Right: -6.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.33
Puts me pretty much in the middle of the green square (just slightly to the left). If I'm -6.12 on a scale of -10 to +10, then I'd be +6.12 if left was higher (as it is in this post). Add 11 points to the scale and I'm +17.12 on a scale of 1 to 21. But the question was about 1 to 9, so divide it by 21/9 (2.3333) and on the scale of 1 to 9, I end up at 7.34.
Guess I'm more left-wing than I thought. Between a 7 and an 8.
I'd be interested if everyone answered this with what they thought they were and then took your test. :D
Economic Left/Right: -4.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.59
And I have absolutely no idea what any of that means, should I be worried D:?! I'm well into the green as well, so that should be good, hopefully:S! I'd like others to take this test as well, it would be interesting to compare results with others:).
We're extremely close on the way we see the world. Out of twenty points on the scale, there's only three quarters of a point between us. I guess I'm not that surprised by that. Especially as I comment here about our similarities. :D
I'm more left-wing than you, but I do come from a very deprived background. I don't have to go too far back to see crippling poverty.
Hmm... you're more libertarian than Nelson Mandela and Gandhi too. Fancy travelling the world with me, righting wrongs? :P
Wow, I really don't know what to think about being more libertarian than Gandhi and Nelson Mandela:O I guess that's probably a good thing. I'm gonna google all these terms before I start getting worried, since I have no idea what it means to be econimically left, even though that's what I am:S!
And we are really close on the chart, which isn't extremely surprising to me either, since I almost always agree with your comments:)
How do you see yourself politically?

Aww, don't be daft. You're anything but ignorant. If you were, I wouldn't be sitting here, doing that test you found. :P

Oh, can we compare results:P?! And, seriously, when it comes to anything politics or geography related, my response will always be very embarrassing.
