[frihetsivrare]

Economic   +0.13
Social         -6.43

From the first time I took this quiz, which was about six months ago, this is a definite shift right economically.

[Ebowed]

Economic score: -5.48
Social score: -9.83

Economic score: -6.65
Social score: -9.83

[Jaggerjack]

I've taken yet another swing to the left?

Economic score: -1.87
Social score: -7.22

Your score pegs you as economically centre-leftist and socially far-leftist.

Economic centre-leftists typically support above average controls on free trade, raising or maintaining the current tax levels, but still support free trade.

Social far-leftists generally believe that the government has no business enforcing morality on most matters, instead favouring a government that intervenes only when absolutely necessary to avoid direct harm. Many social far-leftists also look negatively on the government's past attitudes toward groups they view as persecuted, although some simply oppose government intervention on utilitarianist grounds.

Economic score: -4.97
Social score: -7.22

Your score pegs you as economically moderately leftist and socially far-leftist.

Moderate economic leftists generally support regulation of free trade and business to assure that workers are fairly treated and prices remain stable.

Social far-leftists generally believe that the government has no business enforcing morality on most matters, instead favouring a government that intervenes only when absolutely necessary to avoid direct harm. Many social far-leftists also look negatively on the government's past attitudes toward groups they view as persecuted, although some simply oppose government intervention on utilitarianist grounds.

Finally, I broke -2 on the matrix.

Gah. Looks like I moderated a little.
Economic score: -2.65
Social score: -6.00

Your score pegs you as economically centre-leftist and socially libertarian.

Economic centre-leftists typically support above average controls on free trade, raising or maintaining the current tax levels, but still support free trade.

Social libertarians generally believe that the government should not judge morality, and are generally against the illegalization of things that do not directly affect other people in a negative way. Many strong social libertarians may also be social progressives, favouring legislation to correct what they see as socially backwards governmental regulation, although some simply wish for the government to make little judgment on social matters.

Economic score: -1.29

Economic score: -1.35
Social score: -3.57

Your score pegs you as economically centre-leftist and socially moderately libertarian.

Economic centre-leftists typically support above average controls on free trade, raising or maintaining the current tax levels, but still support free trade.

Moderate social libertarians generally favour a hands-off approach to social legislation. They may believe that the government has no right to enforce morals, but may support certain controls on individual rights to avoid crime, drug use, or similar social ills.
Just retook it today out of boredom, and... Jesus Christ, I can't believe what I got...

[Verily]

How do you change so fast, Fabian?

[Jaggerjack]

That's what I'd like to know.

[PASOK Leader Hashemite]

Previous: E: -1.55, S: -0.87
New: E -1.29 S: +0.52


In which direction is the trend?

New: Economic score: -0.19
Social score: +0.26

Your score pegs you as economically centrist and socially centrist.

Moving more and more towards the right. slowly.

[Josh/Devilman88]

New score...

E: -2.71
S: +0.35


Also I would like to ask a question. Why does alot of people put me down for changing my views, when over half the people on this forum done the same thing?  Go back and look at their first Matrix scores.

Most people have experience a gradual move to the point where they are today. Yours were completely random, without explanation it seemed.

[Verily]

Despite strong support for health care and education, I am now officially in positive economic territory.

Economic score: +0.77
Social score: -8.17

Slight movement leftwards and downwards. The leftward movement is probably adding "this issue is important to me" to universal healthcare. Opposition to affirmative action is the key to my social score not being at -10.00 (that and only weak opposition to the abortion question).

Economic score: +0.39
Social score: -8.96

Economic score: +0.77
Social score: -8.52

Lots of slightly right-wing answers on economic questions combined with extremely strong support for public education and universal health care still gives a centrist score.

Economic score: +1.42
Social score: -8.52

I think I'm more right-wing at night.

Or not.

Economic score: +1.48
Social score: -8.78

Economic score: +1.87
Social score: -9.3

Added "This issue is important to me" to some things.

Economic score: +1.42
Social score: -8.00

This is not actually a major change on my outlook on social issues, just being somewhat more reasonable on my answers.

Economic score: +1.81
Social score: -8.00

Economic score: +1.29
Social score: -7.48

When answering the questions, I tried to apply due moderation to my answers. I only checked four "This issue is important to me" boxes this time: pro-universal health care, pro-free trade, pro-education spending, and anti-PATRIOT Act.

I'm not sure which answers changed:

Economic score: +0.52
Social score: -7.65

[SPC]

E: +4.52
S: -4.35

Economic score: +7.74
Social score: -4.52

I attribute the sudden right-ward shift in economics to be due to increased honesty on the test.

[Frodo]

Economic score: +1.55
Social score: +2.61

Your score pegs you as economically centre-capitalist and socially centre-authoritarian.
-----------------------------------

Centre-capitalists often support free trade and low taxes, but take pragmatic stances on economic issues, supporting what they see as the best balance between encouraging business and maintaining free trade.

Social centre-authoritarians generally have moderate social views, with a slight lean toward government intervention. They may have moderate cultural and religious views, but on the whole believe that the government should assure that society should stay moral.

It's been nearly a month, so it's high-time for an update:
---------------------------------------------------------------

Economic score: -1.03
Social score: +1.74

Your score pegs you as economically centre-leftist and socially centre-authoritarian.

Economic centre-leftists typically support above average controls on free trade, raising or maintaining the current tax levels, but still support free trade.

Social centre-authoritarians generally have moderate social views, with a slight lean toward government intervention. They may have moderate cultural and religious views, but on the whole believe that the government should assure that society should stay moral.

Economic score: -1.03

[Inks.LWC Supports Chuck Hagel]

I took it again 7.94 to 7.16 for Econ

9.30 to 9.48 for Soc

[NDN]

E: +4.52
S: -4.35

Economic score: +7.74
Social score: -4.52

I was wondering why your economic score looked so moderate under your profile. I mean hell, at first glance I look more libertarian than you! You should update it.

[Tender Branson]

Updated it and I went from both Econ. and Soc. -3/-2 to -5/-4 ...

[Bacon King]

wow, hardly no change at all.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

I took it again 7.94 to 7.16 for Econ

9.30 to 9.48 for Soc

Disgusting

[Inks.LWC Supports Chuck Hagel]

I took it again 7.94 to 7.16 for Econ

9.30 to 9.48 for Soc

Disgusting

Coming from you, that's a complement.

[Snowguy716]

I took it again 7.94 to 7.16 for Econ

9.30 to 9.48 for Soc

Disgusting

Coming from you, that's a complement.

A complement to what?  To your score?  I agree.  A social score of 9.48 can always be complemented by the word disgusting.


I re-took the test, and this is where I stood:

 Economic score: -3.23
Social score: -7.13

Your score pegs you as economically moderately leftist and socially far-leftist.
