What is your Political Compass?

[loinburger]

Give your estimated score - it'll probably be as accurate (if not more so) than your "real" score

[Elok]

Pretty close to dead center economically--perhaps a touch to the left--and a few spaces down towards libertarian. I guess that puts me where Sloww is, which may or may not be accurate as an overall view. Don't most people view themselves as moderate, and therefore reasonable, by default?

[Elok]

Against abortion, for gay rights, against prayer in schools and creationism, against the Death Penalty, In God We Trust on coins is technically wrong but who gives a damn, we should start by decriminalizing individual possession of pot and go from there where drugs are concerned, hate crime and affirmative action are BS, I have no problem with nuclear power, nation-building is moronic. On economics I generally plead ignorance but probably lean a little left. I think our most pressing concern should be getting our budget within spitting distance of balance. That puts me...somewhere.

It puts you in... Peru

This was Imran back in 2003:



Amazing how he went from more economically right-wing than me to such a freaking hippie. Jesus Jewce got to his brain.

I've evolved

Your political compass

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

I moved a bit to the right. I was 'close' to moving much farther to the right.

[C0ckney]

Economic Left/Right: -4.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.00

i seemed to have moved considerably to the left, although a lot of the questions do suck hairy balls.

As many has already said, many of the questions are stupid

"A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system"

That's not really a question, but it's a fact. For that party it is a significant advantage, no doubt about it! But having a one-party state is not good for anyone, except for people who like that party

Also there was one question where one important word couldn't be translated, so I had to guess if it meant one thing or the completely opposite thing... I hoped I picked right

[Barnabas]

From the center I am on the fourth square towards the left, and on the second square towards Authoritarian

Economic Left/Right: -3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.49

I am close to Pope Benedict. I am anti-freedom

[onodera]

Economic Left/Right: -7.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.90

Greetings, fellow communists.

So I tried using their "Crowd Chart" feature but the result was kind of hard to read and I can't figure out how to post it here. It might have something to do with the massive URL. Oh, and the average score is -1.6 on the economic axis (with a standard deviation of 4.1) and -3.0 on the "social" axis (with a standard deviation of 2.1). It looks like the population of this forum might have a leftward slant after all, despite right wingers being the loudest and most obnoxious here.

edit: this link will show the values for the data points in case anyone wants to tell me I made a mistake.

It's not the forum, it's the reality that has a leftward slant.

[Provost Harrison]

Economic Left/Right: -3.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.46

Yes...

[Aeson]

The poll seems to have a libertarian slant to it. Every time I just randomly select one of the options I end up libertarian. (Either that or they can detect when someone is not observing the rules of the testing and properly label them anarchists...)

[giblets]

Strongly agreeing with everything gets 0/4.36 and strongly disagreeing with everything gets 0/-4.36. I guess your "random" choices involved a lot of disagreeing.
