Most of you have probably heard of this "test" and/or taken it before. Basically it claims to place you on a grid from economic left to right and social libertarian to authoritarian by asking you a set of questions.
A few of us were playing around with this yesterday and jumpluff decided to plot us all together on one graph for fun, and that got me thinking about what the results would look like if we got data from lots of people on Smogon and plotted them all. It seems like this would be pretty cool to see where different people land and where the distribution leans.
The primary point of the thread isn't to discuss political orientations, but if anyone has any points they want to make about the accuracy of the test or comments on specific questions, those are welcome too! I'll probably make an Excel sheet and periodically update the OP with a new graph if this turns out to be popular.
