Flim-flam

The guys over at LGM linked to two "tests" to determine your political and personal temperament. As always, these tests capture as much about the author's temperament as your own, but in the interest of blogging trivia I give you the links and my results below. Turns out, I'm a left-wing libertarian and all-round good guy. Ahhhhh.... So nice to see someone finally recognize the truth.

Political Temperament

My results:
Economic Left/Right: -5.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.90

Analysis: Apparently, I share the same small quadrant of the four-dimensional political spectrum with none other than Mahatma Ghandi. This alone should give you pause as to the accuracy of this test.

Analysis: What can I say. This test must be right because I agree with it in a most agreeable and conscientious fashion...
