I took the test and got 0,.05 dang near dead center. I always thought I was very conservative, but I geuss not. I would be nice to see how they broke it down, thats for sure. There is a woman named Maryscott O'Conner (she runs who proudly displays her score at [-9.63, -7.03]. How someone winds up that deep in the lower left quadrant is totally beyond me. I'd say she's somewhere close to an "Anarchist." She said that if it weren't for her website she'd just sit on the couch and contemplate suicide. With a score like hers, I don't doubt that statement a bit. I doubt she has any thoughts that make her smile. There's just pure anger and hate down there from what I can see. Many whackos advertise their scores on www.dailykos.com. They're ALL deep in that corner. That's frownsville, hatesville, tin-foil hat area. I'd say grid center is reasonably well adjusted. I'm hard over on a few things (although not as many as FF - lol). |

Well the first score is your rating on economic issues.
Obviously I'm going to be way out to the right on that one cause I'm a radical Capitalist.
I am surprised how close I was to the line on the Libertarian/Authoritarian graph though. Guess that means I have to be more socially radical ;D

You'll get a different score depending on your mood. |

Not likely. I am a Stoic.....I have no emotions. James, I have pondered as to whether or not to say this... I have gone back and forth... I have decided to come out with it, but before I do you need to understand it is NOT an attack. I respect you very much for what you have achieved... However, for you to think of yourself as "stoic" is a fucking laugher! People who get angry AS FUCK are not stoic! lol YOU ARE 100% emotion my man, you just don't see it from the inside. Not that there is anything wrong with it... LOL Stoic my fucking ass! |

Although I was born in the astrological month of Cancer, I am convinced that I'm a Gemini. I definitely have a dual personality - the pragmatic, level-headed, cold-hearted, logical (e.g. Stoic) side and my idealistic, radical, crusading side (e.g. the IRA, supporting any war to destroy tyranny, being a borderline Anarcho-Capitalist etc.). I'm 100% emotion on certain issues, like freedom, justice, opposition to tyranny, etc. I'm 100% machine on other issues, like social welfare, the enviornment, outsourcing jobs, etc. What can I say....I'm a dual personality EDIT: Stoics can be very idealistic though. Just look at Cato the Younger, one of my personal heroes. He was so loyal to the Republic that he opposed Julius Caesar to the point of committing suicide rather than being captured. The man was a truly devoted servant of the Republic and abhorbed corruption, bribery, disloyalty, etc. Stoics can be very Idealistic but they just don't let emotions get in the way of Logic. |

I understand the "compartmentalization." However, "machine" (reactive response) sounds pretty emotional to me. Dog bites - kill him while yelling and gnashing his heart out with your teeth! That's a LONG goddamn way from stoic dude. |

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoic^^ I agree with pretty much that entire page. "The point is, not how long you live, but how nobly you live." - Seneca My feelings exactly.
