The Pope, IMO, is as authoritarian as they come.

Your political compass

Economic Left/Right: -1.62

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.77

Hmm I'm a bit different but close to the middle. I am slightly Authoritarian and slightly to the left. I am closest to the Pope. I wonder if anyone (which I doubt) stands right in the middle!

Having said that, the page did say the Left/Right scale was pretty unreliable in classifying people (which I'd agree with for the most part) so I guess a lot of their effort was probably focused on the other axis. I just think a lot of people will come out more Left-Wing than perhaps they should. A few questions were badly worded too, so it was hard to tell if they were looking for descriptions of the world as it is or the world as it should be. I'd guess they were looking for the normative judgements, but it wasn't entirely clear.

Still, good fun.

Just might be a good idea to put non-KM threads there in future, since that's partly what it's for. Worth registering there too, since there's quite a few good conversations to be a part of there. (Yes, I know I don't post much there, but hey.)

While I enjoyed the political test, I don't think it was hugely reliable even as far as these types of tests go. Having said that, it probably placed this left-wing wishy-washy liberal (and Liberal) where he belongs.

I have never ventured into the off topic forum. However if Illusion wishes to move this topic I will offer no complaints.

No wonder I never catch Dungeoneers, dearies.

That's certainly how it was here for a while.

thus proves he's a right-wing authoritarian old bald-wizard/hag composite

I can't help thinking it's a topic that would have been better placed on the Off-Topic/Back-up Forum.

I thought the same thing myself, but then decide, "Hey why be a killjoy?"

Having said that, I'll definitely go see quite how far right-wing a Grimwold I am today.

And I bet that, although we came out with similar final results, our indvidual answers probably vary quite widely.
