It is purely down to your own judgement of course, thus we may well get Siege (by my scale a 12) seeing himself as a centrist, but in our own self-identification, from 1 on the far left to 10 on the far right, it would be interesting to see how we place ourselves.

It's interesting that you label a question about where a person falls on the left/right spectrum as degree of "far right."

I answered 7.

It could equally be how far left are you. But numbers go from left to right so...this seems more logical.

About a 4, with the usual caveat that I think trying to plot most political positions along a single axis is absurd.

It seems like it would make more sense to have it be bipolar (with 1 being very left and 10 as very right). Otherwise, anyone who considers themselves on the left will be 1 (which I assume is not at all on the right).

I think he meant 5 to be considered the center.

Could also work.
Though current best practice for polling as I understand it is a single scale.
Not important either way. I trust you all got what I mean.

That wouldn't make sense as 5 is not a center point on a 10 point scale. It is slightly in the direction of whatever 1 is.

A bipolar scale is a single scale, it just goes in two directions. :P

Also, no I'm not sure. Is 1 supposed to be not at all right?

He said 1 is far left.  Stop being such a bitch.

Somehow I completely missed that first post. :blush:

A pointless one, I would think. What am I if not bitchy? :weep:
