This quiz was sent to me by a friend, a Canadian, no less, it is silly and tilted politically in a truely sophomoric manner, but I found it amusing enough to think that a few here might enjoy the obvious ploy of the originators....you see, I do have respect for some of the minds that frequent this forum...

The Political Compass
Welcome to The Political Compass.
There's abundant evidence for the need of it. The old one-dimensional categories of 'right' and 'left' , established for the seating arrangement of the French National Assembly of 1789, are overly simplistic for today's complex political landscape. For example, who are the 'conservatives' in today's Russia? Are they the unreconstructed Stalinists, or the reformers who have adopted the right-wing views of conservatives like Margaret Thatcher ?
On the standard left-right scale, how do you distinguish leftists like Stalin and Gandhi? It's not sufficient to say that Stalin was simply more left than Gandhi. There are fundamental political differences between them that the old categories on their own can't explain. Similarly, we generally describe social reactionaries as 'right-wingers', yet that leaves left-wing reactionaries like Robert Mugabe and Pol Pot off the hook.
That's about as much as we should tell you for now. After you've responded to the following propositions during the next 3-5 minutes, all will be explained. In each instance, you're asked to choose the response that best describes your feeling: Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Agree or Strongly Agree. At the end of the test, you'll be given the compass, with your own special position on it."

Poor old amicus was classified as somewhat to the right of Atilla the Hun and Ghengis Khan and even a bit to the right of Ayn Rand who was pro abortion.
One never knows, does one?
