because i know you were all dying to see my results:
Economic Left/Right: 0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.33
Economic Left/Right: 0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.33
Honestly I figured that I would navigate more towards the middle with time but it seems that I've done the opposite. I don't think my results would surprise anybody who knows me though.Economic Left/Right -4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.2
That's any political quiz ever. It's the problem you get when you have to have a finite amount of choices for an issue with very many valid and nuanced positions. That's why there's so many friggin' questions: some may be bad, but in aggregate, they're accurate enough to give you a general assessment of where you fit in on the social and economic left-right axes.
Obviously the biggest problem with this quiz is its inability to distinguish why we strongly disagree/agree with many statements. I know there were a few that I felt compelled to choose one answer for, which I knew would push me to the left, although I was analyzing the statement more thoroughly than the quiz makers likely expected and made my selection based on a right wing principal. Economically I consider myself right leaning.
Also a lot of the statements were just bad, be they to specific, too vague, or seemingly irrelevant and in need of context.
