Is that 'snap'? Assuming that extremes are -10 (10 squares), you're almost at the bottom extreme (Libertarian) , but a bit farther in from the left than Richard. Unless you've quoted the figures the other way round from the way they're given. But it does seem to be getting quite crowded in the bottom left quadrant of the bottom left quadrant

[Old Grumpy]

Probably about right- Wishy-washy liberal remoaner elitist, moi

Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.15

Almost snap then
Though I don't buy the whole "Left / Right" nonsense anymore

It does qualify it as 'Economic Left/Right' (as against Social Libertarian/Authoritarian). It still has meaning on areas such as private/public ownership, funding of public services/education/health/housing/welfare, taxation &c.

The trouble with such close to the edge results is that Eysenkians might suggest you could easily trip round into extreme right authoritarians.

Indeed, you are right

Or left in this case Progressive national and local taxation system with state-owned 'public services', including transport and utilities …

I think your name will be mud for those names .... (too obscure , maybe the stove joke ?)

[Richard Tarleton]

FWIW - I tried it yesterday and today, and seem to have shifted slightly to the left economically and become slightly more libertarian overnight - but it does force one to have views on things I'm not up to speed on (bringing up children...)
