Good. Join us on the light side. Move that social score more negative and the econ score to the right.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

Apparently changing a few of my stances on the quiz from agree/disagree/neutral based on my thoughts/coming to a decision for areas I was iffy on  to strongly agree/strongly disagree/agree/disagree is enough to move me about 2 points to the right on econ.

Oy that's the last time I take the political tst beofre I have coffee.

[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

[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

Drifting leftwards again, I guess.

Social score: -8.09

Bah, first time in years I've received a negative social score!  Civil liberties questions pushed it over to that side, though I still lean pro-life on issues such as abortion and assisted-suicide.

[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.

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...

The quality of one's posts tends to improve when one has the right idea overall.

Update:

Economic score: +5.42
Social score: -6.78

Your score pegs you as economically capitalist and socially libertarian.

Capitalists generally support an open free market and lower taxes, but also support government restrictions on blatantly abusive industry. Capitalists also often differ from their more extreme peers in that, while they may support significantly lower taxes, they are less apt to support complete elimination of taxation or near-complete elimination of government.

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.

I didn't change answers, I mostly just ranked my important issues more accurately.
