I don't remember the questions being so biased toward the left last time I saw this. (Note that I say this as someone who ended up near the center but toward the lower left.)

So far First of Two and I are the only people who have ever moved both rightward and upward on this chart.

Hey, where was I last time?
Currently, I'm sitting pretty at:
Economic Left/Right: -5.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.46


What happened to Omega? He's all over the board there....posession? Multiple personality disorder?

As with last time, I'm hanging out with the Dali Lama.
It's the "no underwear, sit around all day" thing.

Omega is slowly being corrupted by this board and moving to the left! [Smile]

You mean "liberated". Yes, you do.

(Omega ending up where Tom was is hysterically funny on some grand cosmic level.)

Ya. That no underwear, sit around all day thing is great. A word from the wise tho: remember to get up and walk around once in a while or your ass will go numb

Personally, I'm not doing the test because I think that the way that it's worded is leading. In other words, it's not neutral enough.

Holy shit, what happened to Omega?

The test has also changed quite a bit. There are plenty of new questions. They may have adjusted the forumla as well...

So over the years, I've moved a bit left, and a bit authoritarian.

According to the test's FAQ :
"21. Politics have moved, but you're still using the old economic parameters.
Some critics have argued that, because the universal political centre has moved to the right, our axes should correspondingly move to the right. This, however, would not indicate how far one way or the other society has shifted. It could not convey paradoxes such as the fact that, in the UK, New Labour occupies an economic position to the right of pre-Thatcher Conservatives. Where was the centre, for example, in Apartheid South Africa ? In Third Reich society, such a skewed analysis might show a Nazi opposed to the death chambers as representing liberal opinion.

"Narrowing the standard political goalposts to accommodate merely the range of mainstream opinion within any given society at a given time is not only historically uninstructive; it is unscientific."

So, presumably, they haven't changed the formula. I did notice that some of the questions were different, though.

"So over the years, I've moved a bit left, and a bit authoritarian."

You're one of four so far who have moved up and left. Five of us have moved down and left. And then there's Mucus, who's done both.

And then Siegfried. Who's just weird, apparently.
