Where do you fall?

  • Left

  • Right

  • Libertarian

  • Authoritarian

Results are only viewable after voting.
Answering every question from an right/authoritarian view as I could I came up with:
Economic Left/Right: 10.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 7.59

I couldn't get to Hitler status. 🙁
 
Libertarian Left.
I took that test not too long ago and my results were approx -6 on the L/R scale, and -4 on the Libertarian/Authoritarian.

I pretty much identify with libertarians when it comes to social issues and civil rights. This includes gun rights.
 
Economic Left/Right: 4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.18

I generally consider myself much more right and libertarian, the linked poll shows me much closer to the middle than I would have guessed.

Took the test just to see, even though I don't put much stock in these.

Economic Left/Right: -3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.74

Some of the questions are silly, though. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend"? What does my opinion on that prove?
 
Well that gave me the following. Not entirely surprised.

Economic Left/Right: -3.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.62

See for example China's one child policy. A leftist would have a fit because it tells a woman what to do, whereas an authoritarian would not.

A leftist thinks that telling corporations run by people with MBAs and PHds what to do is okay because they can't be trusted, but woo onto anyone who questions the choices of a pregnant teenager.

This test was so stupid, I should be at the very bottom of the chart and slightly farther to the right.

I suspect some stupidly borderline / vague questions make me appear more 'right' than I am. Ex: It's important for children to have mothers, not two career parents who occasionally take them away from daycare. Yet I suspect the heart of the question for career / homemaker is to attack sexism. Questions such as that adversely affect the score without, IMO, an accurate reflection of one's true intentions.

It shows that you would potentially cast aside morality in favor of expediency. For example, a group of people have been raiding cities in your area, stealing cattle. They are your enemy and you have fought them several times over it. Another power comes around and invades the cattle stealing nation. This other power is against everything your nations stands for, yet you align with that power to help it crush the cattle stealing nation because "the enemy of your enemy is your friend".
