I sometimes change a bit to the left but not much

 

[85 Cutlass Brougham]

Economic Left/Right: +5.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.77

That makes me Libertarian right on their scale. It is also how I describe myself as a political Conservative Libertarian. I oppose taxes, environmental laws, government intervention in the markets, etc. while being hawkish on national defense and the use of military might to enforce US interests and values. I also value corporations over environmental groups as the Earth is of secondary value to economic development. Humanity will adapt to it's environment. I also dislike all kinds of authority and wish to only have the bare minimum amount of government needed to assure some small amount of order. I dislike government and corporations equally as I feel both are corrupt and abuse people and power.

However, I tend to laugh at their assessment of current world leaders and where they fall on the chart. To put Gordon Brown where they did is quite laughable as he is far more of a statist than the chart would lead you to believe. I will also say that the political leanings of the authors of the test show through in some of the more leading questions they asked.

i'm almost dead center--- economic .50 socio -.56 i think it's more because i don't care about politics and i judge each issue seperately and not according to any fixed code. i'm very flexible because you can't predict every situations specifics.
