I took this test which charts where you are from left wing to right wing and from authoritarian to libertarian. I just thought it would be interesting to see where some of you guys show up! Disclaimer: Please don't get into huge arguments about political parties, this is just about positions on separate issues.
Here's my result. The big red dot is me, the smaller ones are my friends who have also taken the test. The interesting thing is that one of my friends overlaps me exactly:
And just for interest, here's one showing different contemporary leaders:
Well, I can't post my graph, but I'm DEEP into the bottom left quadrant. No surprise there.
[Edit - To be specific... If you drew a vertical line through Mandela, and a horizontal line through the Dalai Lama, I'd be just about where they cross.]
I first ran into that site years ago. As with all such sites, the way they tend to ask the questions often colors the responses and skews the results, but it's useful to get people to realize that political positions aren't just a left/right thing -- you can get a better picture of someone's positions if you take into account more dimensions. Personally, I think two axes aren't enough either, but it's better than the single highly skewed axis people seem to want to pigeonhole others into.
Me, I show up right on the vertical axis, about halfway down from the center towards the bottom "Libertarian" edge.

Oh, the problem's not with me - I know how to do it, normally. The board software just keeps throwing up an error ('it is not possible to determine the dimensions of this image') when I try.
