Have you seen anyone's PM scores and thought to yourself that they seemed really out of wack? Personally when I see MODU's, I generally think it's far too left wing for him. But there are more examples.

There was a point where Straha's PM looked moderate.

MODU is the obvious example. There are other people whose political views change, but they never retake the test.

Straha is 'centrist.' Not necessarily the same thing though. Tongue

hahaha . . . my views haven't changed in years.  I'm just more vocal against Democrats and for the military/personal responsibility which gives people a false impression.

Yes, to me your down the middle scores seem perfectly in line with your overall postings.

Mine is correct. Extreme centrist.

I wonder if I can hit 0.00 and 0.00 someday.

MODU's isn't so bad. Liberty's was awful. It made him look like a centrist libertarian. Of course that was during the days of the old PM anyway...
Also, I think SoS is a bit weird. I'm not doubting he's the most liberal forummer, but S:-10.00?  What??
MasterJedi is also way more centrist than his PM score would indicate.

Well I think guys like Opie have purposefully answered the questions on the PM test the way they know will give them a score that's virtually impossible to achieve.

I don't pay attention to the PM scores, and I can't remember when I took the test myself.  Probably at least two years ago.

Alright, I give up.  Which poster were you before?  Nobody who registered for the first time in October '07 would know about Liberty or the old political compass.

Robert Stark's was hilarious. He actually had a negative social score for most of the time he was here.

That's because he was fairly liberal, actually. He supported abortion and gay marriage.

I feel my economic one is pretty accurate...I've had people say my social one is both too low and too high.

How can you only be a member since November 2007,  yet have a Political Compass score?

Where did he say that? He hated liberals and he supported Ron Paul who was strongly against abortion and gay marriage.

It's called TAKING THE TEST.

Hmm...I took it again and have new scores (check my sig, updated from my September scores).  My economic one's moved slightly left, but my social one's moved right again.

Go to the political matrix thread in the Individual politics board, and the last post has all my scores quoted. There's a very real and scary trend.

My point is Mikado, you registered your ID in November 2007, yet your old signature used the words policitical compass  and you say your old scores were from September 2007.   So you used a different ID before.   So who were you before?

To be fair, I took the PC test before registering as a forum member years ago.  I use to be one of those "Guests" who just surfed through all the topics.  Maybe Mikado did the same thing.
