Default Another British Political Quiz

First, it should be noted that, on this test, 80 is the maximum possible permissiveness score on each axis. For example, if one's economic score is 40, one is 50% permissive on fiscal issues. This test is also limited in what it can measure by the difference between personal attitudes and political stances, but nonetheless I think it is definitely worth taking if only for the very interesting map on which it places the test taker at the end. Here is the link, followed by my results:

Social: 41/80 (51%)
Economic: 62/80 (78%)

I am near Reagan, but closer to the center than he is. I appreciate all replies. Thank you very much.

Default Cool test.

I regularly read The Times because I considered it the most centrist 'paper. It seems I was right (no surprise there...).

Social: 65
Economic: 55

Slightly further Right than Chomsky.

Economic: 58 (73%)

Glad to see you back, Doctiloquus.
