Now that you mention it, I seem to remember somebody (Dustin Dettmer?) mentioned something about creating an application with a similar purpose... I do not recall if it ever actually "materialized". As for the test, I think I may have done it before, but doing it now I find myself with loaded questions that I'm not sure I want to answer, such as: It is regrettable that many personal fortunes are made by people who simply manipulate money and contribute nothing to their society. Is this referring only to people that literally do nothing for society or is it people that the author himself perceives do nothing for society? ** EDIT ** {"name":"600899","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/0\/9\/09e3caa046026bf0305a8227d728c935.png","w":480,"h":400,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/0\/9\/09e3caa046026bf0305a8227d728c935"} I still feel that many questions were loaded and biased though. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Economic Left/Right: -4.25 I found some questions really hard to reduce to a yes/no answer. |

As for everyone noticing "loaded questions," I don't think you understand what's going on. They're all loaded questions. Every one, save for control questions that don't even effect your results at all. So while it's cool you noticed some, you missed that all the others are loaded. (Which is how we get your political lean. How much you project into a context-less question.) These days, I'm very much for the regulation of abusive companies in the financial sector, and regulation of environmental responsibility. But I'm very for personal freedom, against excessively taxing small businesses, against sustaining forms of welfare--as opposed to self-improving forms--and against physical intervention of other countries with the exception of anti-genocide. I'm for poverty-level public healthcare because it provides a safety net for people allowing them to take more risks ensuring a healthy free market--it's not sustaining, it's self-improving till you get your own. The last one is important because you don't want a market afraid to take risks because risk is essential for growth. Basically, it all comes down to, "assist and empower people to live their lives in the life that they earn for themselves." (*Though, I haven't got the wording perfect yet!) Albin Engström said: "Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races." Is this supposed to affect the outcome of the test? You interpret it as such. It's clear to me that certain biological races have advantages over others. There's nothing racist about accepting that fact. For a 6th grade comparison, "black" people don't need sun tan lotion.

Neil Black said: I don't remember. I do remember seeing yours and thinking to myself that they were really close. I always thought I had really different ideas from yours, and I was impressed to see the results yet so similar . This test still generalizes too much though, so I wouldn't trust it. No authoritarians here? You programmers don't have the guts to act with force. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

Economic Left/Right: NaN I guess this is supposed to be a comment about the futility of shoehorning one's views into a 2-dimensional, mostly meaningless scale. *cough* Economic Left/Right: -2.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.97 *cough* --------------------------- |

This political compass thing epitomises the absurdity of the left-right political view system. The left, just like the right, is just a bag of unrelated beliefs that form a team to which anyone can join so they can slag the other team with words like bigot, pinko, etc. And don't think that adding yet another dimension (authoritarian/libertarian) makes a difference. Besides, anyone who thinks he's a left libertarian is in denial. Stop being lazy. Think for yourselves.

Wouldn't somebody that donates to worthy causes on his own instead of thinking the government can do it be a left libertarian? Of course, it's always easier to spend other people's money. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

I can tell you a lot of things about this spectrum that aren't correct or even within reality. Also notice that I didn't take the test because its a joke.
