[thechat] the political compass

[Hugh Blair]

A few more entries came in, so here's another update.

NOTE: the data is in delimited form at the bottom of this message.
------------------------------------------------------------------

32 responders. Using total score (yes, I know that's mostly
meaningless) so far the 'corners' are:

  Jonathon (-13.76) <-  -> Norman Bunn (+2.38)

Closest to center: Hugh (1.12,-1.33, = -0.21)
Total score closest to zero: Dean (2.50,-2.67, = -0.17)
This group sure has a bunch of people at one extreme or the other.

Stats by Martin - before this update:
Economic Left/Right:
Mean: -3.10
Standard Deviation: +/- 0.48

For Authoritarian/Libertarian:
Mean: -4.05
Std Deviation: +/- 0.38

Standard Deviation  +/- 0.82

Madhu suggests: "Wow! I just got an idea. We should start a dating
service based on these scores and compatibility. ;)
Remember, you read it here first."
OK - I want to see Jonathon and Norman Bunn get together. Can
you say "fireworks"?
