I found this from the last time we did the test:

It looks like the furthest drifter is by and large SamuelRSmith. He has done a complete economic flip-flop, Mike Gravel style. The other notables include SciFiBoy's slight drift right, my drift lower-right, and Farmland's drift right. All in all, almost every test taker (twice) has drifted to the right. Of course, we're missing a few that took the tests.

I think I answered some of the questions differently because I didnt give them so much thought, this time I did, my economic views are still left wing, but im not a communist or anything, I dont think that either extreme works.

 

To be fair, no one in the lower-left quadrant would be considered communist. Communism is souly reserved for those in the upper-left corner, as most communist leaders do have the economic underpinnings of a controlled econmy, but have a much larger anti-social footprint (supressing free speech, dissenters, ect), whereas the other side would be peaceful in their gains.

I would argue that those in the lower-left corner desire a democracy where social welfare is of paramount concern, and income disparity is to be minimal....Things far and away from communism.

well, communism itself is just the extreme of socialist thought, but yes, most leaders we have had who identify as communist have also been authoritarian. (which I believe is Facism? correct me if im wrong on that though)

I agree with your summary of what people in that area of the scale probably believe in, I know I support that idealogy.
