So are you more like Bush or Mandela? (on-line political test)

[da_chimperor]

It shows you where you stand in regards to the political beliefes of the pope, Saddam Hussein, and the Dali Lama. It'll take you a few minutes, but it's pretty comprehensive.

I'm right down there with the dali lama myself. Anyone more liberal than his holiness?

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

1. I'm a little bit more to the left and

a little bit more libertarian, according to the diagram.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

2. I'm a little left of Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama

- as far as I'm concerned, very fine company. Edged a little closer to Libertarian than I would have thought. Think my answers to questioning authority probably moved me down the scale. Bush and the Patriot Act have the tendency to do that to people.

[da_chimperor]

3. Definitely

I'm not against authority for the sake of being against it (most of the time) but I'm a strong supporter of civil liberties. Not strong enough to be a libertarian though. They're a little too . . . eh, unrealistic for me.

4. Economic Left/Right: -9.88

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.56
I make the Dalai Lama look like Margaret Thatcher!

[WMliberal]

13. no, i'm too anti-authoritarian. but your excellency has a nice ring to it.

:silly:

[Commendatori]

5. Yeesh

I always knew I was a centrist regarding the economy, but never expected anything like this:

Economic Left/ Right: 1.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.62

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

7. Anarcho-syndicalist here.

Not a surprise. I liked their explanation about the so called "libertarians" of America - who aren't.

[AgadorSparticus]

8. i'm right where i thought i'd be: left and left.

i'm a little more libertarian than HHDL but economically, i'm right there with him.

economically, i am a -5.12
socially, a -7.38

[ComerPerro]

9. I've done this before, and usually get between -5/-5 and -8/-8

[grace0418]

10. I'm right with Nelson Mandela

Economic Left/Right: -6.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.21


That's pretty good company as far as I'm concerned.

[Dem Agog]

11. I'm pretty close to where Ghandi is...

Economic Left/Right: -4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.08

[6th Borough]

12. Ahhh...this test...again.

Well, I've taken this test years ago, and still ahve the results saved to my hard drive. Another good excuse to boost my post count (ahem...)!

Let's see...(sorting through my naked, posing Alf pics...)

Economic -3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.10

Suffice it to say, I'm well in the bottom left quadrant.

[newyawker99]

23. Hi 6th Borough!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[ghostsofgiants]

14. ...

I posted this a few weeks ago I'm pretty sure. But in any event:

Social: -6.56
Economic: -6.75

[da_chimperor]

15. Really?

I found it again on the net after taking it in high school. Thought people would be interested, so here it is!

[ghostsofgiants]

16. ...

Yeah, it's one of my favourite sites.

Just took the test again and it seems I have drifted to the left and to the libertarian a little bit.0 (The results I posted were from sometime before summer.)

Now I am:
Economic Left/Right: -7.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.08

[6th Borough]

18. I've got this site bookmarked

It's amazing how many people view thier beliefs on a stictly ...half 2 dimensional scale.

[Djinn]

17. have done this test a couple of times and each time

I get further to the bottom left - more so than Ghandhi and Mandela. I like the reading suggestions - although I've got most of them!

[Mikimouse]

19. Oohhhhh, I'm a BAD BOY!

Economic Left/Right: -8.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.72
