This little quiz rates where you stand politically and in comparison to various historical figures. Apparently I fall pretty close to Gandhi, which I think is pretty cool.

Wanna try it?

Well that was fun.

I'm closer to Ghandi and the Dalai Lama than I am to anybody else. I can dig that.

Looks like I'm not in the ballpark of any of our presidential candidates. Explains a lot.

That's partly because where they have the GOP candidates is not where they should be. None of them are anywhere NEAR that authoritarian (Yeah, right up there with Hitler. Give me a break!) The left-leaning bias was clearly evident in the way many of the questions are worded. I assume that most people know these things are far from scientific (and generally created by people with a particular viewpoint tout forward).

Meh... me thinks some of them are like Hitler.
If they could exterminate the gays they would.
Not all of the candidates, but some.

I think you are correct about that.

I thought the quiz was kind of fun. I didn't think it was scientific.

Sitting next to my husband who has his MA in Political Science - and we took it as poli-entertainment! What's neat is that I remember taking this quiz several years ago and it appears that my views have moderated a tad..... Still somewhere around Mandela & the Dalai Lama,so I'm still a crazy lefty hippie.....

I did that one years ago and I'm pretty liberal, but I'm from Europe so a conservative there is a liberal here. I do remember being close to ghandi as well. Should do it again to see if I'm the same
