It's a bogus test, Joy. Notice that virtually no one occupies the
bottom-right quadrant. However the Western Republican states in the US are
filled with economically right-wing but socially libertarian folks (they
want no govt intervention in ANYTHING), and that sort of popularism has
always had a significant following in the states, and, perhaps in somewhat
smaller measure, in Europe.

(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popularism )

That Olmert -- who is a moron, a mediocre politician, an inept leader, and
who was elected on a platform of promising to unilaterally withdraw from the
West Bank in the next two years (that was before Hizbollah precipitated the
recent war, so that's now off the table) -- should end up virtually in the
identical space as Hitler also suggests that the way they are classifying
"heroes" leaves a lot to be desired as well.

Like most other buddha-lers, however, I ended up in the vicinity of Gandhi
and Mandela, neither of whom I would want to spend any time with at a party.
