The Economist's sad hack job about German energy policy | 134 comments (134 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Economic Left/Right: -7.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.18

I should be -6/-6. I think the questions press one into a strongly agree /strongly disagree direction. And somehow there seem to be few economic questions and virtually none on ecology.

Green/Brown is the missing third axis (none / 1)

And I agree on the lack of subtlety. I would probably be more centrist on economic issues with more pertinent questions.

On the other end of the scale, too: I felt right-wing/authoritarian opinions were tested with too many fascist positions.

How do you rate on the Green/Brown axis? (none / 1)

Haven't taken this test yet, but predict I will be somewhere on the red zone in the left.

Depends on political position. My result was -2, -1,38 and I found many questions hard to answer.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a centrist!

Welcome! No irony.

Re: ET (none / 0)

For some reason centrists seem to be underrepresented in political and economic discussion forums.
