Sorry.

You got company there Jimbo, decided not to bother after reading the questions and figuring out I was not in the target group that it was intended for.

I find it quite telling that there has not been one person so far that it has said "Generally considered Left Wing" not one

Like Jimbo I thought that some of the questions were worded poorly causing me to default to a neutral position. In some cases feeling strongly negative about the first half of the sentence and strongly positive about the second half left me no other option but to select something neutral.

Radicalism 44.5
Socialism 12.5
Tenderness 62.5

These scores indicate that you are a tender-minded moderate; this is the political profile one might associate with a protective parent. It appears that you are accepting of religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as right-wing.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a pragmatist with several strong opinions.

This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.

By today's standards Lenin himself would be considered a moderate! LOL

If you try hard enough to pick the right answers, you can get it.

There you go!

Political Values

Radicalism 99.5
Socialism 100
Tenderness 50

These scores indicate that you are a progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a university professor. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear communist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as left-wing.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a devoted egalitarian with primarily strong opinions.

This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.

I refuse to post my scores! It only proved that I am so radical that I fit right in with the moderate ultra-conservatives and the liberal right wingers and anybody who discovered that the moon was NOT made of cheese. I spent a great deal of my childhood saying no.

The only thing tests like that one proves is that this is what you are today, not yesterday or tomorrow. Each day changes you in ways unknown to you in advance. If you want to get truly paranoid take that test every night before you go to bed.

Power to the people! but only if we are convinced they know what they are doing.

I completely agree with Jimbo that this is a seriously flawed survey, but it did put me in the right ballpark, if not the right part of the ballpark.

LOL - I think it's very telling of how many people on SRP that take this survey are right wing LOL!!

But I think we knew that!

EDIT - right leaning

Perhaps not...By today's standards--if indeed there are any real standards--Lenin would most likely be considered passe.
