Took the test - can't remember the score, but I came up somewhere between Ghandi and Nelson Mandela(like most here) on the graph - which leads me to conclude, one of two things.
Possibility 1: This forum consists of a bunch of noble - selfless idealistic individuals.
Possibility 2: The test is BS, and strictly serves the purpose of boosting individual ego(by comparing one to famous ideologues). When the site becomes popular enough, the domain will be bought out by a potential internet startup company - to generate more ad revenue.
Can anyone guess which possibility I'm more in favour of?

Well, I got nowhere near anyone famous. Maybe they just knew I was German and didn't want to boost my ego.
Hmm, well it's not necessarily rigged I retook it and though my score changed it changed in a way I thought I had changed since back in the day when I took it.
I used to be
Economic Left/Right: 3.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.15
now I am
Economic Left/Right: 2.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.82
I became more Anarchist/Liberal and less Capitalist. Someone hold me. I feel sick.
I think it describes me quite well actually.

I'm also next to the Ghandi/Dalai Lama/Nelson Mandela... I think this thing is rigged in either the wording of the questions or the parameters of the test itself as everyone is basically the same...Economic Left/Right: -4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.67

I thought of that as I stumbled on a few questions and couldn't answer them immediately so I have to give what you say merit, but that would imply that people are deliberately lying on a message board to be seen in a better light and that is sad. I've seen German porn that I wish I could 'un-see', those people have no shame.

John Thompson does not speak for the general populous of the Federal German Republic.
VVD and I discussed the more idiotic nature of the test. For one that there were quite a few badly phrased questions. The aim of them was evident, but a honest answer would have been judged in an incorrect light.

I expected my authoritarian results, it's only acceptable if I say it is lol!
That is so contradicting. I mean. Wow. I am surprised the Universe didn't explode due to the ridiculousness of that post.
