Just kidding, but I've never seen anyone so far right and so autoritaristic.

Yeah... but I'm from Iceland, mind you... the lot of us are medium to deep into the lower left quadrant.

Like almost everyone in this forum who has posted in this thread...

I'm actually more to the "top right" than most people here. ;) I think I was at something like -3, -2...

I went back and looked through every chart and so far, Lilianna's chart at page 5, is the only one that crosses the line into authoritarian territory.

Huh.... well a few words I don't really understand since I'm not into politics (As I feel it's mostly just liars twisting words around for profit), but I suppose moral/spiritual/etc beliefs can be somewhat pin-pointed. Here's my compass. So I guess I'm a left Liberal somewhat. Wonder what that means...

Hypermagi,

It means that you tend to favor people over corporations, and tend to favor liberty over strong central government.
