    Define "average Irishman".

    Enjoys chips, doesn't like Irish Water, ambivalent about Gerry Adams, follows at least one ball sport that isn't golf, likes his mammy's cooking, believes pineapples are fine on pizzas and has a limited understanding of economics.

    Not exactly the norm hereabouts.

    Seeing as this thread was bumped I did the test again. -4.12, -2.05. I had done it before and my position on the A&A chart was way off. ie. Numbers entered wrong. It shows me as extreme left authoritarian right where Stalin is in the example on the site when in fact I should be in the main grouping around Gandhi. How does one go about amending the chart. I'm nothing like Uncle Joe Godammit!! :D

    I think you can just remove yourself and then add yourself in again with the correct numbers.

    I am 5.5/5.5. Stayed fairly stable on this over the years since it first appeared.

    Some of those questions are blatantly loaded, but here's mine anyway -

    Careful now. Do you not know that if you aren't the green square you aren't allowed to post in this forum?

    I think there's a loophole where he's (apologies if you're a Ms., Jack) allowed provided he buys the other posters a pack of jaffa cakes per diem.

    Economic Left/Right: -3.0
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.15

    Though I was not impressed by the ambiguity of some of the questions.

    Anyway I am in there with the Boards masses.
