Bangalore Politics Elections Analysis Issues
Found this on the net. http://www.politicalcompass.org/index It assesses your political leanings along two axes - economic and social.
Economic leanings form the X-axis going from collectivism (Pol-pot) to neo-liberalism (Friedman). Social leanings go from Libertarian to Authoritarianism.
Take the test. It won't take too long. I came in the bottom-left quadrant (economically left and socially liberal). Quite delighted to see Mohandas Gandhi, the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela in the same quadrant.

Fantastic work behind the test questions. I was Faltering between the left right march. I remained at the center, slightly towards the red (Fascists) though. Thanks for the post sri. you both Navin and sri are with Mahatma Gandhi and Dalai lama!

Found myself in bottom left quadrant, not too far from the center though. I am guessing most of us will fall in this zone as I find most of us (I am talking about the frequent members here, those that I have met - even Murali, or Mcadambi) are moderate liberals and socialism rooted people.
