That's the political compass. It is in another thread in the political science forum.

Default ROTFL!!!!

This is the worst test ever! According to this test, I'm not only a liberal, but I also match Bill Clinton (same as Java).

I think the problem is that this test has a liberal bias. It works on the theory that conservatives have a lower opinion of human nature than liberals, while in reality misanthropy is a trait that knows no political label.

Hey, I never claimed that it was a great breakthrough in political science. Personally, I think that all of these political tests are meaningless, since, although I am not an Objectivist, I agree with the Objectivist assessment that all government control is essentially the same and that therefore the only real political scale is from anarchy to totalitarianism.
