This is a neat test I found on Starmen.net. It's supposed to be more accurate than the typical Left-Right spectrum as it includes another dimension based on your views of the government and the likes. It has examples of famous people as well, so you can compare yourself and stuff.

First time I took it, I was very close to Ghandi.
Economic Left/Right: -3.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.69
http://www.politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=-3.62&soc=-5.69

The next time, I moved down and a bit to the right.
Economic Left/Right: -2.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.15
http://www.politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=-2.62&soc=-6.15

I'd like to see what most people here got. :O
 
Some of these questions are so bizarre. But anyway:

I don't really know much about politics or economics or whatever, so some of there words were hard for me to understand :(

Huh. I thought I was more economically conservative than that. To be fair, I was pretty ambivalent about a few more broadly scoped economic questions.
 
Kind of bizarre, but... Yeah, I'm so idiotic that some of the questions were a tad difficult.

Hahaha, we're like all in the same spot. :p

Although to be fair I'm not sure all of my answers on the economic questions were as educated as they could have been.
 
Those with the ability to pay should have the right to higher standards of medical care .

I am mixed here; on the one hand, if I don't want the crappy medical care available, I should be able to pay for better, private care. On the other hand, that way all the good health care goes to people who pay.

I guess in theory I'd want better health care not to be buyable, but that would require that social health care be good, which it isn't particularly at the moment anywhere. (I went for "ideally not but as things are yeah" and disagreed. Though then again, super-ideally, everyone would be able to be paid *well* and the people with less money would be the people who never amount to anything more than, say, grocery store stockers, and then sure why not give the people with brighter jobs more money and health care. ...but then again I don't see that much of a problem with people who just kind of want to sit back and earn enough to live and be happy and not have much money or work hard I guess. ...but then I still really, really like the idea of a society where intellect is highly valued and rewarded; it isn't some magical thing one has to be born with.)

This is the first internet test I've taken in a while that was any good at all and the second good one I've ever taken.

I'm most like Ghandi in the famous people thing, and Nader in the US Elections.
