On the political compass. Interesting site I saw linked on another board and thought I'd share it here http://www.politicalcompass.org/ It has a test you can take (look on the menu for Take the test) and it plots your views on a compass. Surprisingly enough, when they show the presidential election candidates, the great majority are all on the right of the midline, interesting tie in to our other discussion about what party stands for what http://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2008 For what it's worth, my "dot" is about midway to the right, about half way down into the libertarian side.

LOL up there with Stalin?

BTW vvallejos, thanks for sharing this link. i learned a lot about ideologies. and i love categories. not that any individual is a perfect and predictable fit, but the concept helps me to understand what to expect and why there is disagreement.

All of these quizzes have the same flaw.

I seem to be sitting directly on the Dalai Lama.
