Political Compass

[MalevolentLight]

I really like this link that Imran posted on another topic so I thought it deserved its own thread.

Here's what I scored:

Economic Left/Right: 6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.51

[Ted Striker]

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -7.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.10

[Imran Siddiqui]

Economic Left/Right: 3.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.44

Nyah, nyah, I'm a right winger, and have been every single time I've taken this test (we've had many instances of this test).

[MalevolentLight]

Excuse me but you are barely right when it comes to economics and you are fairly far left socially. You are a libertarian who leans towards the right fiscally. Don't call yourself a right winger.

I suspect the main reason I fall right in the middle socially is because I'm an atheist.

Isn't this the most repeatedly offered political test on Apolyton or something?

[Agathon]

Someone has a plot of everyone on Apolyton who has taken the test.

[Imran Siddiqui]

The test says so .

I'm on the right wing. And I'm libertarian. If you say I LEAN to the right, then you have to say I LEAN Libertarian. But you say I'm fairly far left socially. By that logic, then I'm fairly far right economically... seeing how I scored ~3 in both catagories .

[Ted Striker]

I'd like to see my results over the past few years to see the trend.

[MalevolentLight]

Right wing is what I had, 6+. And Ted it looks like you are a complete communist.

[MrFun]

. . . . . and on top of that, Imran's favorite smilie for his political propaganda posts is the tongue smilie.

[Shi Huangdi]

Woohoo, see if anybody can score more moderate than this!!

Economic Left/Right: 0.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.31

[Imran Siddiqui]

Right wing is what I had, 6+

Nope... right wing is right of center... duh

Perhaps right wing wacko is 6+... I'll concede that to you.

[Agathon]

BTW - it's been evident to me for quite some time now that Imran is a Liberal. I don't mean a liberal in the contemporary sense, but an American liberal in the tradition of Lincoln, Jefferson or John Rawls.

High marks for that in my book. It's a bit more cerebral, in a gentle, patrician manner, than most contemporary political positions.

[Ted Striker]

Jefferson

Lincoln

[MalevolentLight]

Wow that was a very pretty and flowery attempt to turn the word liberal from a bad word into a good word. The fact still remains, Imran isn't right enough to call himself a conservative. You want to call yourself a moderate, fine, but enough of the conservative nonsense because you aren't one.
