Not at all. Especially since I don't consider myself "less educated".

The results are scued because there were too many questions that should be "not decided," because I didn't agree or disagree one way or the other.

1.88
0.77

(So, a centrist. No surprise there)

Disaffected.

(No surprise there either)

BTW folks, if you got both figures as seriously minus in the political compass, you need to go look at your politics. Because it's an impossibility that a political system in the lower left quadrant could work in real life - anarcho-syndicalism fails the moment a single citizen says "I want more cake". When the guy wants more cake the whole political structure swings into the upper left quadrant (when the government slaps the guy down) or into the lower right quadrant (when the guy is left to go get himself more cake).

I think they need to find a new title for the "enterprisers" group. I don't see how going to church, studying the bible and having conservative social values makes someone more enterprising than a secular, power-hungry entrepreneur.
Is it not reasonable to anticipate that our understanding of the human mind would be aided greatly by knowing the purpose for which it was designed?

First thingy:

Economic Left/Right: 2.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.18

Which places me as fiscally conservative, socially liberal, just as I've always thought of myself.

It says I'm an "Enterpriser" but I don't agree with the description of who I am as "strongly partisan."

While enterprisers make up 9% of the voting public, they make up 75% of the conservatives on this forum.

Very odd.

I think you could probably put that figure higher if the test wasn't so US-centric. For example, a lot of UK "enterprisers" would come out as "disaffected" by virtue of the current political climate (i.e. three parties to choose from and they're all statist leftie arse).

If you had a choice between the Democrats, the Communist Party and the Feminist Party, you'd be disaffected too, right?
