Your score pegs you as economically centrist and socially centre-authoritarian.
Economic centrists generally support economic policy that they see as fit for specific situations, although they may have different views relating to taxes and regulation.
Social centre-authoritarians generally have moderate social views, with a slight lean toward government intervention. They may have moderate cultural and religious views, but on the whole believe that the government should assure that society should stay moral.
The only issue on that test I strongly agreed/disagreed with and believed to be of great importance to me was affirmative action (which btw is something I
strongly disagree with.) Everything else was, meh.
None.
Just here for the activity... well not really

Your score pegs you as economically moderately capitalist and socially authoritarian.
Moderate capitalists usually support free trade and low taxes, but take pragmatic stances according to what they believe will be best for business and workers.
Social authoritarians generally believe that the country is moving toward immorality and that the government should assure it does not. Social authoritarians oftentimes believe that the government should be operated in a religious context, or at least with heavy consideration of moral values.
Only person yet to score positive on both, and the highest on either one too, I wonder why people here seem to dislike my views in Serious Discussion

MilleniumArmy and Dumbducky were both positive in both.
None.
Relatively ancient and inactive
You're not the first to score positive on both, there were two others, at least. I was the only - +, though.
Really, though, I don't understand how someone can be against government regulation of economy, but for government regulation of people. I'd think those would go hand in hand.
None.
I hate the political compass. It assumes you are two dimensional. And I deal in absolutes, usually I strongly agree, strongly disagree, or am 100% neutral. I'm sure that screws with this test immensely. Also, it uses very aggressive language (IE
violating civil rights...)

Regardless...

Your score pegs you as economically capitalist and socially centre-authoritarian.
Capitalists generally support an open free market and lower taxes, but also support government restrictions on blatantly abusive industry. Capitalists also often differ from their more extreme peers in that, while they may support significantly lower taxes, they are less apt to support complete elimination of taxation or near-complete elimination of government.
Social centre-authoritarians generally have moderate social views, with a slight lean toward government intervention. They may have moderate cultural and religious views, but on the whole believe that the government should assure that society should stay moral.
Surprise. I'm a capitalist. -_- the "slight lean toward government intervention" came as a bit of an eyebrow raiser.
As for both positive, I am both positive....

Your score pegs you as economically centrist and socially centrist.
Economic centrists generally support economic policy that they see as fit for specific situations, although they may have different views relating to taxes and regulation.
Social centrists generally believe in a mix of individual liberties and controls, corresponding to what they see as moral or best for society.
No surprise to me, depending on the issue I'm usually either strongly conservative or strongly liberal, and when tests try to measure both I come up in between.
None.

My economic score was about twice yours, and Kame scored higher than you in the next post.

Your score pegs you as economically moderately leftist and socially libertarian.
Moderate economic leftists generally support regulation of free trade and business to assure that workers are fairly treated and prices remain stable.
Social libertarians generally believe that the government should not judge morality, and are generally against the illegalization of things that do not directly affect other people in a negative way. Many strong social libertarians may also be social progressives, favouring legislation to correct what they see as socially backwards governmental regulation, although some simply wish for the government to make little judgment on social matters.
Thought I'd be a little bit more to the left on economics.
None.

Your score pegs you as economically centre-leftist and socially moderately libertarian.
Economic centre-leftists typically support above average controls on free trade, raising or maintaining the current tax levels, but still support free trade.
Moderate social libertarians generally favour a hands-off approach to social legislation. They may believe that the government has no right to enforce morals, but may support certain controls on individual rights to avoid crime, drug use, or similar social ills.
I found the question involving protection against being fired while striking interesting. I think being fired is one of the risks of going on strike you have to accept, anyone disagree? (and why)

Unfortunately, if the union goes on a strike, you must go on strike too. It is unfortunate when you have bills to pay, and your place of business has a compulsory union.
That being said, I think that if you get into a union you get what you pay for...literally. You should risk getting fired while your union is on strike.

I'm
inclined to agree, but I don't know enough about the subject in general to feel justified in answering more conclusively (i.e., I was not aware of the stuff in Fire_Kame's post; I don't know much about how unions work, or about them in general, I don't know how accurate her post is, ...)
None.
