From Eskin's new test:
On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Liberal (34).
On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Centrist (42).

the dot appears to be in much the same place as it was on the last test.

On the test epeemike posted:

"On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Conservative (69).
On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Conservative (94). "

Although there are still questions, such as the gay marriage one, where no option quite fits my views.

[telkanuru]

On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Liberal (10).
On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Liberal (29).

whee.

[a517dogg]

On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Liberal (28).
On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Centrist (50).

Surprising results for me.

Hi!

On the onlytheissues test, I got:

"On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Liberal (19).
On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Centrist (40)."

About what I expected. I vote for the most fiscally conservative and 2nd most non-fiscally conservative party where I live, of those that have a place in parliament. No viable party here is more fiscally conservative than that.

I agree with Inq (probably to his dismay, given my results ) that some questions had no options close to my opinions. I think that this is due either to sloppy option-formulating on their part, or a wish (conscious or uncounscious I do not know) to shape results. They may have not liked to make it possible to voice some opinions that they find particularly abhorrent.

Have a nice time!

Hi!

An afterthought: the quadrant non-fiscally conservative/fiscally centrist->liberal seems to be untaken so far. Any idea on any particular person, or voter segment, who may end up there?

Have a nice time!

I would imagine it's rather impossible to come up with a little blurb for each possible answer to a rather openended question. The answers for one individual question don't really matter, I think online political quizzes are more to give a general idea of where one falls on the political spectrum.

So there, that is what I get for posting at 01:30 in the wee hours. Can I red-dot myself?

Have a nice time!

On Non-Fiscal Issues - Strong Liberal (19).
On Fiscal Issues - Strong Liberal (9).

This is me for the latest test, similar to the first (-5, -8) but it places me more to the economic left, which I'm fine with. :-)

I wonder what one would have to do to get a Communist or Fascist rating...

They would probably have to be a communist or a fascist.

[Inquartata]

Well, yes, but there're no ratings beyond "extreme liberal / extreme conservative"---as if those are really the poles of the political spectrum...

Here's the real answer to all of our political probing:

hahaha.

Ohh, i see. I didn't realize that extreme liberal was the left most and extreme conservative the right most.

Well i don't recall any questions like "should the workers mount a violent overthrow of the government and eliminate the bourgeosie" or "should the state control everything" or anything like that. Then again, i suppose communism IS extreme leftism and fascism is extreme rightism...

[gojujay]

Then again, i suppose communism IS extreme leftism and fascism is extreme rightism...

Both need totalitarianism to work. And they are essentially the same thing. A central body plans everything, even though it may have a different name in different governments. Somebody else is deciding for the populace what is best... the planning board has decided that your talents would be better utilized for softball, not fencing... foil not saber, it is for the greater good
