Political Compass Test.....Cool!

I'm over 1, up 1...which is Authoritarian Right. According to this site, nowdays I'm close to Robin Cook (who the heck is that? UKers fill me in), and me and Tony Blair see eye to eye in 1996 (is that supposed to be a good or bad thing?)






apparently there are alot of communists on the board!

 

[Peter McFerrin]

3.38 down, 0.62 right. Sounds about right for a budding economist.

 

[BigWig Will]

Dead Center of Left Liberatarian.

Near a Simon Hughes in 1996 I think.

Well it looks like I was to the right about three and down 1. Honestly I think it is a pretty stupid survey since the questions don't have a lot of leeway in terms of how you can answer them. Many of them can be interpreted many different ways and arent simple "oh I agree" answers.

I mean I guess it's ok for entertainment value but no one should really take it seriously...It's just too simplistic.

 

[Sofa King]

Economic Left/Right: -0.88
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -0.67

I'm damn near in the center, which is right for me

 

[Blackbird]

Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -5.03

I'm South of Ghandi.

I agree. My social/political views are too diverse for that test, the way it was worded, or more accurately, the limited, myopic answers for some of those issues. I'm a walking paradox!

Just for kicks here's how I ended up:

Economic Left/Right 4.12
Authoritarian/Libertarian -1.85

Libertarian right. Close, but not dead on.

...I agree with MJ, there should have been a 5th option, a more "neutral" one for these questions. I was not very committed to either a positive or negative response for several questions.

For the record: 4 down, 1 left.

Exactly the same here.

Economic Left/Right: -7.12
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -6.62

I guess that makes me a pot-smoking, anarchist, government-hating, hippie, bum.

This statement, "It's fine for women to have careers, but their first duty is to be homemakers," reminds me of cartman saying, "Bitch! Get back in the kitchen and bake me a pie!"

 

[tufnuts]

Economic Left/Right: -0.50
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -0.92

That's very weird, I figured I'd be further south. I knew that I don't really lean left or right very much.

Very good post!!

I was into Ayn Rand's phillosophy before (i.e. Neil Peart's writings) and the graph say's I still am, woohoo!

Me too, it looks like I'm some sort of extremest. I always kinda figured that.

Economic Left/Right: 7.12
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.67

 

[SMASH]

Apparently I am Ghandi, which is not even close to correct.

 

[jcadmus]

Right libertarian -- near the axis.

Big surprise there -- not.

 

[Captain Awesome]

I got about (-2,-3) but I bet I would've been closer to the center if there were neutral options and/or the questions weren't so leading.

 

[Chris Brodowski]

Economic Left/Right: -7.00
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -7.33




Ultra left and ultra-libertarian. Just as I thought. Even an "I don't care" option would not have brought me past -6 on each part. That's just me.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, I have the strongest libertarian score of anyone yet....

Me too, but its "You get your bitch ass back in the kitchen, and make some pie!"

I had the same score.

Really? That's creepy......

Libertarian left, barely off dead center (surprised?). The questions are pretty leading IME though, and kinda UK-ish. Americans don't think much about "globalisation." We're fine here. The rest of you can do whatever the hell you want.

i agree.

i'm 3 lines right, 2 lines libertarian. i must be getting soft, i figured i'd be way further to the right.

oops, i haven't seen that one in a long time. Wait, i'm not sure if i've seen that one at all.

Chris, well i have the strongest left wing score (does that make me a communist?)
