Political Compass

[KLB]

I found this political quiz intriguing.

The Political Compass

It rates both Social and Economic views separately.

I ended up
Economic Left/Right: 2.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.49

which is a little more right than I was when I took it before the last Presidential election.

It should be interesting to see if they post a graph with the candidates running this time.

[Garb]

Economic Left/Right: 5.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.77

Some of the questions were a little weird. For instance, I am a social conservative, but I don't believe my point of view should be forced on people. I think that skewed it a little bit for me.

The question that puzzled me most was the charity is better than social security in providing for the needy. Apples and oranges.

Took it a second time and got this result. Only changed the degree of agreement or disagreement.

Economic Left/Right: 6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.56

This political compass has fatal errors. They rate Ron Paul as a far right authoritarian. WTF?

What sequence of answers would make one a libertarian under this quiz?

[rambone]

[Drunken Yak inc]

As usual I really can't answer the questions. Many require extended discussion and do not lend themselves to simple agree/disagree answers.

Your political compass

Economic Left/Right: -3.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.44

Some of the questions were hard to answer with simple yes or no answers as some may have pointed out.

 

[NYFelon]

Economic Left/Right: 9.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.21

Pretty bad test... A lot of the questions were predicated upon first accepting that, for example; government schools should exist & that corporations should be classified as people and be given government protections.

I'm actually more socially-liberal (politically) than this test allowed me to display. My personal life is lived in a rather socially-conservative manner, however.
