Also, nobody has commented on the top banner yet.  It took quite a while to make that, damn you.

Oh, yes, they're very sleek. I could tell you made them.

How much does checking the box after the question matter?  I didn't check any of them - maybe that's why I'm slightly more moderate here?

Non-technical answer: it increases the contribution that that question has towards your overall score.

Technical answer: The effect that each question has on your score is as follows, if we let n be the total number of the type of question:

"Strongly Disagree": -8/n
"Disagree": -4/n
"Neutral": 0
"Agree": 4/n
"Strongly Agree": 8/n

(note: it's also multiplied by 1 or -1, depending on whether the question has a right or left slant to it.)

If you check the box that says that the issue is important to you, then the new effect is as follows:

"Strongly Disagree": -10/n
"Disagree": -8/n
"Neutral": 0
"Agree": 8/n
"Strongly Agree": 10/n

I see they taught you how to be populist Libertarians at that leadership conference.

1st score:

It looks nice Alcon. Especially the home page

[12th Doctor]

Very good test, Alcon.

Better than the compass.  I like the neutral option!

Interesting!

[Platypus]

I think it puts me slightly too far to the left economically, but:

Economic score: -2.31
Social score: -4.36

[Јas]

Economic score: -3.08

Your score pegs you as economically and socially .

Holding down my little corner of the grid.

Very cool site, Gabu and Alcon! The banner kicked ass, too.

Economic score: -6.62

I suspect all the religion questions are reason for t' social score being so high

[Blue Rectangle]

Economic score: 7.77
Social score: 0.82

Your score pegs you as economically anarchocapitalist and socially .

Anarchocapitalists generally believe that the free market should be unregulated and laissez-faire in nature, with government either only intervening in extreme cases or never intervening at all. They also believe in significant reductions of government services.

Good enough.  A pretty good test and probably better than the PC one.

Economic score: 1.85
Social score: -2.91

Those are probably closer to the trust than the Compass scores.

[YRABNNRM]

Economic score: 5.08
Social score: -6.18

Your score pegs you as economically capitalist and socially strongly libertarian.

Interesting. I believe that more than the Political Compass.

Thanks, Gabu.  That's what I was wondering.  That's interesting.

Nice job, guys!

Pretty close to my Political Compass score, actually.

But it calls me a far-leftist..

[Grad Students are the Worst]

-6 -6 "strongly libertarian"
While it is true that, on some, maybe even most, issues, I *am* strongly libertarian, I don't think I am on all issues and certainly not all economic issues and I answered the questions more the was a liberal would than a libertarian. Therefore, I would question the test's accuracy.

Again, it's blank.  There should be something about economically.  In this case, it would be "economically strongly liberal and socially strongly libertarian."  This is a bug that just ends up making the sentence look odd.

Please ignore all non-numerical test results for now.
