My score beneath:

Economic score: +3.1
Social score: -4.52

Your score pegs you as economically moderately capitalist and socially moderately libertarian.

Moderate capitalists usually support free trade and low taxes, but take pragmatic stances according to what they believe will be best for business and workers.

Moderate social libertarians generally favor a hands-off approach to social legislation. They may believe that the government has no right to enforce morals, but may support certain controls on individual rights to avoid crime, drug use, or similar social ills.

Generally, I would be considered a leftist economically and a social libertarian, however I found the test questions to lack nuance and some of the options not-so-clear cut. Therefore I don't think my scores would reflect my position very accurately.

Economic score: -7.23
Social score: -8.7
Your score pegs you as economically socialist and socially far-leftist.

Socialists typically support heavily regulated industry and programs to aid the poor and impoverished. They often also support significant raises in taxes and minimum wage to attempt to decrease the gap between the wealthy and poor, and to ensure social equality.

Social far-leftists generally believe that the government has no business enforcing morality on most matters, instead favoring a government that intervenes only when absolutely necessary to avoid direct harm. Many social far-leftists also look negatively on the government's past attitudes toward groups they view as persecuted, although some simply oppose government intervention on utilitarianist grounds.

I am not taking this test that summarizes my views and opinions into two numbers. Human mind is much more complex than that. The brain is a multidimensional network, wrapping it up on a 2-dimensional plate oversimplifies too much.

I want to be evaluated from what I say.
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Your score pegs you as economically centrist and socially moderately authoritarian.

Moderate social authoritarians typically support social controls meant to encourage moral behavior and an organized society, although they may have some moderate or libertarian positions.






I'm moderately authoritarian, because i'm against foreign aids, immigration, gay marriage and abortion, and because i want to restrict the amount of filth our children are exposed to in the media. At the same time, i'm "moderate" because i strongly disagree that our civil rights should not be violated to stop terrorism. Somehow i get the feeling this test is a bit biased.
