<p>My point was is that productive people make the world better not revolutionaries. I don’t believe in democracy and am certainly not authoritarian. I think government should exist solely for maintaining law and order and for the purpose of national defense. I believe in a constitutional republic which is the very principle our country was founded upon. With democracy a majority can easily override the rights of a minority which is unjust ie. just about every country in africa with “democratic” in its name/rant.</p>

<p>Hey, you’re that one guy.</p>
<p>Who is actually many guys.</p>
<p>
Uh, none of that has anything to do with anything we’ve been talking about.</p>
<p>Are you saying our American forefathers were useless? They sure as hell were revolutionaries.</p>

<p>Uhh… it’s probably bad that I barely understand what this means and somewhat “guessed” on a few questions. XD</p>
<p>Lol what are you talking about. By revolutionary I mean people who throw out free markets and substitute their own form of collectivism like Mandela (redistributing land and wealth for example). I also just said that I believed in the very principles our forefathers did so I have no idea what point your trying to make.</p>
<p>
Well Mandela did kind of help end the apartheid. </p>
<p>I’ve think we’ve got one of those people who believes everything besides math, science, and business is impractical.</p>
<p>
“Revolutionary” does not connote any specific end of the economic-ideological spectrum.</p>
<p>That’s like saying killing is a distinctly blonde thing to do. -_-</p>
<p>On a different note, I agree with ThisCouldBeHeaven that this test is too short to be an end-all indicator. I don’t think I really am where it put me (probably either right on the y-axis or a little right), simply because there was not a lot of economic questions.</p>

<p>Not many folk like me.</p>
<p>The test seemed perfectly long enough to me. Any longer, and it’d get redundant. It all averages to the same coordinate, so a question that stretches a little too far right and a question that stretches a little too far left will eventually balance out in the end.</p>
<p>I can’t think of any huge issues that the test left out.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You can’t make up your own definition of revolutionaries.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It was poorly written. Having only 4 answer choices meant there was no way to express a lack of opinion in a certain area. It was also sometimes hard to tell exactly what your answer might mean. For example, one question asked “Is controlling inflation more important than controlling unemployment?” (or something like that). If you think unemployment is more important, you’d have to disagree. If you thought they were of equal importance, you’d also have to disagree. The test thus fails to catch any nuance in your view.</p>
<p>Yeah, but, like I said, an off-kilter answer every now and then will be counteracted by the general consensus of the entire set of answers.</p>
<p>You could add a “give or take a few coordinates” disclaimer if you really want. ;)</p>
<p>Chances are, no one would end up on the completely polar opposite end of the graph, were this questionnaire done a “little more accurately”.</p>

<p>Reading Ayn Rand is not something to be proud of.</p>
<p>I am Conservative</p>
<p>Economic Left/Right: 1.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.87</p>
<p>I don’t have numbers but I know I am pretty close to the green corner. I think the test misrepresented how I feel about economics to a certain extent but socially I’m about as liberal as one can be.</p>
<p>why am i up so late?!
anyways…

<p>There should have been a no opinion option. I really didn’t care about some of the questions.</p>
<p>Economic Left/Right: 6.50

<p>I’m closer to Milton Friedman than Ron Paul? That’s suprising, I thought I was a more moderate Libertarian.</p>
<p>lol, there are some extremists (too strong a term?) on CC</p>
