Not that my scores surprise anyone, I am sure. I find it amusing, for all of Martrae's protestations at being a libertarian, she barely cracks the negative numbers on the authoritarian/libertarian social scale. I am also not at all surprised to find myself at a complete diametric opposite position from President Shrub.

I can think of far worse company to find myself in than to be in the same general region as Gandhi, Nelson Mandela & the Dalai Lama, at least.

Pretty much in the center *shrug*

When this is done more, I'll make a graph and plot out where everyone stands.

I find it funny Arlos is reading so much into my score. Half those questions were phrased oddly and it didn't allow for different degrees of agreement or disagreement.

No excuses. I do consider myself a right-leaning libertarian. I just wish I'd had more options on some of the questions.

Some of the questions should have been phrased differently, I agree. :/

Also there are no names whatsoever in the libertarian/right category!! D:

Meh not what I would think of myself if I were asked directly, but who knows

I assume you mean Authoratarian/Right category. LionKing has positive numbers on both and I imagine Lyion would place somewhere in the positive range as well.

I meant on the site's graph thing - they list famous political figures in every other category except libertarian/right.
