I know this has been done before, but based on the "caravan" thread, maybe it would be a worthy exercise for us to do it again. Here is the link;

In my previous test I remember coming out a little more liberal, maybe it is living in South Africa over the last year that has changed that???

Mine will almost certainly have Draad quite excited . . .

I think what skewed mine to the left was the fact that the only strong feelings I had on the questions were the ones on the religious and environmental issues. If I'd rated some of my feelings about society a bit stronger I would have moved more to the right and if there'd been any questions about the ridiculous political-correctness of the left then I might have been where I think I should be.

Oh well, I did front up and do it and I did post my results, even if that makes the score Draad 1, Rooinek 0 for now.

Rooi, that is what I recall. So you couldn't find the previous thread either?

Strange but true. Seems like I am fairly similar to Rooinek. I'm just a little less Libertarian, though. I'm also quite surprised that I came out to be more left leaning than right. 


Economic Left/Right: -3.88 
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.36

Ceradunce, I don't think it's the most accurate test but I guess it does give some indication.
I would definitely have guessed you to be a lot more right than me.

If Beeno had to do this test I reckon his red dot would be off the right hand page.

I think our differences comes more from the Authoritarian/Libertarian axis and not much on that either.

Hang on just one sec here . . . Draad is that your result or are you re-posting Ceradyne's?

I think we need Baboon-ou to do this test just for calibration purposes.
I'm already a bit uncomfortable being so marginally left of known right-wingers like Ceradunce and Draadtrekker and if Baboon-ou's result is even one pixel inside the extreme right we can safely say it's completely untrustworthy.
Problem is, Baboon-ou is so fundamentally stupid that even though he might just be able to complete the questionnaire (assuming he gets a bit of help from his minder), there's no way he'd cope with posting the result on here.

That's mine. I was a bit more Libertarian when I did it last time...and mine is slightly more to the right of Cera's...yours too!

So now I am a "known rightwinger"? How did you arrive at that?

Hahahahaha! So Draad is a loony left Marxist! Who would have thought?
Not so sure about that Draad 1, Rooinek 0 scoreline anymore. Now I'm wishing my red dot was further to the left!

Draad, I think it's a fair assumption that any Trumpanzee has to be right of centre (and above the horizontal line). 
If known Trumpanzees like you and Ceradunce are anywhere near the bottom left quadrant we can safely say this test sucks.
Having said that I'd still like to see Baboon-ou's results . . . just for calibration purposes. Unfortunately the exercise would probably be a bit too taxing for Baboon-ou's primitive little brain. Pity.

That's what you said last time too...where I got my Idea of you being a lefty Marxist ...but clearly you are not, you only said so. I'm definitely not a Marxist. They are much further left.

I'm not a Trumpanzee. I like some of his policies and I'm on record of saying he's not a nice person. It looks like you are so blinded by your dislike of him as a person that you are simply incapable of judging what he does with any kind of objectivity .

Liking his no nonsense approach on certain things does not make me a right winger.

No, you said you want to be way to the left of Cera and myself. I added the Marxist. Way left of myself is where the Marxists dwell. I bundled you with them by association.

I fear the very first question is going to send Baboon-ou into an uncontrollable rage.
