Did it again answered "strongly disagree" to every question.

Gave me this:

Economic Left/Right: 0.00
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.36

Answered "strongly agree" to every question and got this:

Economic Left/Right: 0.00
Libertarian/Authoritarian: 4.36

I did not create the test therefore I haven't a clue as to how it's scored. But economically there seem to exist the same number of questions. Socially... well it seems to lean whichever way you answer your questions.

Hooligan: Some of those statements are very interesting. Take the first one:
"If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations."

So this presumes that the interests of corporations are necessarily opposite the interests of humanity? I find this rather odd.

Not "interesting", the words you are looking for are "loaded", "biased" and "nonsensical".

Like am inquisition questionnaire that would ask "Should witches be burned or impaled on a stake?".

Bingo. There were several questions like that.

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 1.00
Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.33

But I do like how the pope is on the same side as Mugabe, Arafat and Hussein.

Dalai Lama here

we had a similar test in Germany. These questions are not definite and therefore not correct to answer.

even more it presumes that globalisation is a process that can be controlled rather than enabled or disabled.

In fact it's just like "Democracy".

Saying should democracy benefit people's material wellbeing or their spiritual level is nonsensical. The democracy is a spontaneous process and if you allow it, you cannot choose which way it will take you.
If you do control it, it will not be democracy by definition.

Anyone who even thinks that "globalisation" that can either benefit poor or corporations and that humans can have some control over it are not talking about the real globalisation - the free trade, they are talking about some kind of colonialism.

Free market and free trade by definition benefit everyone because otherwise the parties would not engage in it. Obviously it benefits poor more than it benefits rich because rich can do without few more dollars but the poor would probably starve without those few more dollars and their economies would never develop without going through primitive capitalism stage.

Almost got the bullseye. What do I win?

Ripsnort · « **Reply #40 on:** November 17, 2003, 03:38:10 PM »

I trust anyone within 3 (+/- .5) of bullseye. Anyone outside of 3, or -3, I would consider a threat and would certainly not trust them, whether that would be in a sense of pumping gas, or watching over their own children.

I wonder where that "3" came from. You sure you didn't mean 2.8?

you missed the "+/- .5" part I see. Typical, never read it all the way, just what you want to read into it.
