Take your political temperature ...

Are you a Hitler waiting to happen? Maybe Gandhi is more your style. And I guess there's a little Stalin in all of us.

This page claims to offer a "measure of attitudes and inevitable human contradictions to provide a more integrated definition of where people and parties are really at." Not sure how accurate it is, but it's definitely interesting. It features a series of questions that you answer, and it then tells you where you stand politically.

Where did I land?

Economic Left/Right: -2.50

Authoritarian/Libertarian: -3.64

You'll have to answer the questions to understand what that means, but I think it essentially says I'm a left-leaning Libertarian.

If you take the analysis, post a comment here on your score ...

BTW: I stumbled across the link to this on The Gus's site. Credit where credit is due ...

my score.....

Economic Left/Right: -4.38

Authoritarian/Libertarian: -6.00

gary took this first, and i watched over his shoulder (he got about the same score as me) - altho we agreed on the "agree/disagree" parts on everything, it got a little ugly where we differed on the "strongly" part... (geez, you think you know someone)
