I get a kick out of their "estimation" that Thatcher is only a hair's breadth to the left of Hitler.

Huh. I just took it and I landed smack-dab on top of Charles Kennedy.

I came out as expected, on the line between right and left, and a bit more pragmatic than idealistic. Some of those questions were tough to answer when my first impression was "it depends."

I was to the left and and pragamatic. Pretty much what I expected. What I want to know is where Bush and Kerry would place if they were to take this quiz.
May I also point you to this quiz. Short, sweet, and to the point.

Nice. I'm a little more to the right than Stalin, but much more pragmatic....excellent.
But I'm not as far right as Hitler, though. Wtf? Wasn't Hitler a big leftie (being a Socialist and all)?

I landed next to Charles Kenndy and RagingRed too. Interesting that this quiz is a takeoff on PoliticalCompass, and exists because
"politicalcompass.org has a poor reputation; in particular, there is a suspicion that its questions are designed to make respondents lean towards an economically right-wing, socially liberal ("right libertarian") position, and the two axes of variation on which results are plotted are opaque in their derivation and may not be tremendously relevant."
Gosh. I thought my results there made me look less like a tax-and-spend liberal than is actually the case...

I came out slightly left of center and slightly pragmatic. What I struggled with was the "should" questions. I wasn't sure whether "should" meant "This is the way I wish things were," or "This is the way the law should be written to require things to be," which are . . . just HUGELY different questions.

Also, when the results were shown, the questions had been slightly re-phrased, which skewed a few of my answers.

Interesting, Jack. When I took it my position ended up being almost a mirror of yours. You'r left-idealistic and I'm right-pragmatic. Go figure.

At least neither one of us is down there with Hitler.
