You are Knight Rider Hasselhoff. You kick ass, you're dead sexy, AND you are the proud owner (or perhaps life partner) of a talking black Trans-Am. What else could one ask for?

Take this quiz at QuizGalaxy.com</td>
Done mostly because people that read tyrell may find it amusing. Yes, of course I rigged the result.

On to more sensible stuff. Redid the Political Compass today, it had been awhile. I've moved slightly to the centre economically, but further from the centre socially. I think the latter is me hardening my views through the debate I'm having online. The former is I suspect because the questions had a few more "market" questions and less "safety net" and "ownership" questions; market socialism messes up these tests, I had the same reaction to the OK Cupid thing as well. Anyway...

Your political compass

Economic Left/Right: -3.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.26

Why do we care? Well I did it early this afternoon. Later this afternoon, I saw the latest release for blogthings. Now, do the Compass, then do the blogthing. Compass has been around fot years, do we see a rip-off? Yup, yes we do. Actionable? Not my problem, I merely observe.

Your Political Profile:

Overall: 30% Conservative, 70% Liberal

Social Issues: 0% Conservative, 100% Liberal

Personal Responsibility: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal

How Liberal Or Conservative Are You?

Hmm, at least Blogthings take into account differential layout sizes, some daft quizzes assume black text on white and column widths that are above 500 pixels. If you do the Hoff quiz, when posting it, change the width in the table tag from 450 to 80%, otherwise it'll mess up many different LJ and friends page layouts...
