Take a test and see where you fit.

http://www.politicalcompass.org/index

It just asks you a bunch of questions, and then gives you a score that's depicted on a graph, and also notes what past leaders/dictators/presidents/economists/whatevers scored

My scores are as follows:

Economic Left/Right: -3.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.49

Closest to... the Dalai Lama.

I was as shocked as you, Tim! I had to yell a couple "U-S-A!" just to get myself composed again. :lol:

I agree that some of those questions are tough to answer because the wording is poor.
