[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] According to the test's FAQ : <blockquote>"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."</blockquote> So, presumably, they haven't changed the formula. I did notice that some of the questions were different, though. <blockquote>"So over the years, I've moved a bit left, and a bit authoritarian."</blockquote> 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. [/QB][/QUOTE]
