Can you average the results people have submitted? I thought I was pretty liberal, but scored only -3.5, -3.74, which seems pretty close to the average for gso bloggers.

I was right - a smaller font size was definitely necessary. I made some other minor changes to the graph, including adjusting Cara Michele’s marker to reflect her actual score, which she sent to me via email. Everyone else should be in the correct spot, so let me know if you see any mistakes. [...] […] Thanks to everyone who added their results in the earlier thread.

I think he is replotting and adding folks. As for my "inner liberal," (LOL) after blog discussions with Ed and others, and after taking multitudinous online tests (some for real, some really funny), and after much thought, I've concluded that I'm very conservative on social issues and apparently liberal (and didn't even know it!) on fiscal/economic issues. I'm contentedly conflicted. :) DW, I emailed PotatoStew my exact numbers, which keep me left but move me up a bit. I think he is replotting and adding folks.

I landed somewhere pretty much right above Ghandi last time I took it, but I didn't bother posting the score. Needless to say, I'm no Ghandi. This definitely proves one single fact though.... bloggers in general are more left-oriented. Oh wait... wasn't that already proven? Hahahaha. Sorry. It's been a long day. Heh.
