That's been here plenty of times before.

The problem with it is that it seeks to categorise on the basis of positions. It doesn't try to make you resolve conflicts in your outlook. It just accepts the conflicts that you tell it to.

Politics isn't so much about what you think, as it is about how you resolve the problems between your various views.

Just take the survey!

Bet your in the green bit!!

It takes a handful of your opinions and shows roughly where you are in the political compass based on those questions!

It's true, I'm with Ghandi, and the Dalai Lama. I still have a right wing outlook though!!!

It's just pragmatic that's all.

Sorry Dilbert. It's the first time I've seen it so decided to put it up. Just something to vaguely see where you stand and also pass time on PH looking at what other people are like. wink

If you want to be Hitler, all you have to do is strongly agree with everything!
