Political compass

Take this test, then post your results on here. This should be interesting

I'll tell you what I am once a few people have said their results

**Learning Newbie** · 09-12-2007, 02:31 PM

I don't need any compass to tell me I'm an extremely left wing progressive. But here are my results.
Economic Left/Right: -7.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.97

This question was hilarious "Abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all." I don't know how that relates to politics at all? I'm really not any kind of an artist, but I also don't think it's my place to judge.

Lol I answered agree to that question - whether I should have is something else

I've realised I said to write your "results" in which case people are going to be coming up with lots of numbers, and I forgot to save the page or the numbers, but I was basically in the top left quarter of the compass (left, authoritarian), although I was close to the horizontal line - i.e. I am only just authoritarian and so close to the line, that I'm basically in the centre between authoritarianism and libertarianism.

John, by my guessing, you're in the bottom left hand corner somewhere?

**tripy** · 09-12-2007, 03:13 PM

Economic Left/Right: -2.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.18

Yay !!!
I'm an anarchist!!!!

Not a big news to me, but even as some questions where really too vague, the result is what I would have said myself.

And this is John graph:

Looks like we are a bunch of communist

Thanks! I forgot to grab that, then thought I'd have to retake the whole test to get a new one. But yup, that's exactly what mine looked like.

And then here's for comparison's sake:

**whym** · 09-12-2007, 04:52 PM

Lol. I'm sure there must be some people on this forum who are the same as G. W. Bush. The question is who?

**scorpionagency** · 09-12-2007, 06:57 PM

Bah... According to this I'm an Authoritarian Communist... Interesting

**Cheshire_cat** · 09-12-2007, 11:00 PM

I don't think this thing is right but here is mine.

Economic Left/Right: 0.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.46

**joder** · 09-12-2007, 11:33 PM

Economic Left/Right: -3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.51

**Cheshire_cat** · 09-12-2007, 11:37 PM

I guess I’m pretty well centered – “bada bing”

**scorpionagency** · 09-13-2007, 12:00 AM

You're not alone, Eric.
My results were similar...

Economic Left/Right: -4.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.23

**scorpionagency** · 09-13-2007, 12:34 AM

Couple more of Us Left wing Communist Authoritarians Moxxnixx & we can take over this thread.. Mua ha ha ha

I'm with the cat on this one. My own views tend to be Libertarian in nature, but this survey barely reflects this:

Economic Left/Right: 4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.97

I'd move the dot down about 3 or 4 squares and maybe 1 to the right.

The problem with the quiz that I had is that there were a number of questions I truly had no opinion on or couldn't have cared less about and was forced to pick an answer. I'm wondering how much the result would have differed had I been able to pick "no opinion" on some things.

By the way...yer all a bunch of filthy Reds.

**whym** · 09-13-2007, 06:11 AM

As I said earlier, I was placed in the red category (not to be confused with Communist red!), although I was near the half way authoritarian/libertarian line. I think I'm actually probably closer to the centre of the grid than it put me, but I guess on an economic scale, I am reasonably left wing.

It's interesting to find out about other people's political stances though, particularly at Adam's - I wouldn't have guessed that you were a strong right winger (particularly with that crazy avatar

haha)

You’re a Liberal Newbie? I had no idea.

No not at all, I only said that because Newbie and I often debate about are political differences.
