[W:583] Political Compass Thread

so your political positions are dependent upon mood and/or time of day? haha

No I get his point. The questions meant to be for conservatives to agree with were often quite rediculous forcing you not to completely agree with them or even disagree

The same for liberals. A lot of the questions were just dumb all around.
 
Here's mine....

Well this is mine.

I might have been too "reasonable" in answering some of the questions.
 
I'm not exactly sure what this means, but here's mine:

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -1.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.26

Maybe someone could explain it to me. Do I have to change my Lean now?

Hey! We're neighbors! I changed my lean because the stigma of being labeled "conservative" just became to embarassing here at Debate Politic's (what with all the whacko righties we seem to attract.)


Economic Left/Right: -2.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.82

Can anyone say they're actually surprised by their supposed lean?
 
There are problems with both the chart and the questions, but here is mine:

As what "I see" as independent...I cannot say I am caught of guard by reaction to Obama's speech today, almost inspiring. But considering the comparison in oratory skill, intellect, and simple goodness to the man I got before him...It would be hard to come off badly.

Then, I am forced to watch a group of inferior intellects, political flippers, and crazy a$$ fundys, compete and debase each other for the right to lose to the man in the minds of anyone I might respect.

Hmmm.....I cannot say I am Surprised.
 
I agree with the sentiment that the questions were dumb. Most were slanted and a few were irrelevant.

Hah we will see in november. I think Obama could lose to a can of tuna at this point. As for great oratory skill Obama can read a que pretty well cant he. Hard to believe he's just reading init?

Forgetting or changing one's answer in relation to the degree to which you agree or disagree seems to dramatically feck up the graph. You can still be for or against something, but if you cannot recall if it only was agree instead really agree...or disagree versus really disagree, you can fly all over the map.

Never thought Gina would've been farther left than me lol

I just remembered, you are pro-life, I am not, so that could have been the difference. :)

On issues I'm not firm or uncomfortable with the extremity of the question, yeah, I could have varied. There were a few. I can't remember which now, but I could have easily changed from disagree to agree on a few depending on how I took the question.

And here, Fiddy explained it much better than I. :)
 
I find it interesting that Socialist people in this country are very against authority yet, they are socialist. Tell me that makes sense.....

You almost made it too that left bottom corner. Keep trying!

It makes perfect sense. Decentralized market socialism... All about protecting civil liberties and expanding workplace co-ops and workplace democracy.

WOW right in the middle for left right. Course I answered very few with strongly agree/disagree and would have loved the option of neutral for some questions (but i guess that would have meant i`d be even closer to the center.)

Still thought many of the questions were kinda silly. Often these tests tell more about the people who wrote them than those who answer them

But of course! :D Please do missy pea! :)

Economics: 8.38
Social: -6.46

Like others, I find a lot of the questions to be slanted or irrelevant. No, my views on astrology do not affect my views on the formation and structure of social groups, and no, recognizing that the state can grant favors that help certain corporations but no one else does not affect my support for free markets. However, I'd say that overall, this wasn't a half-bad interpretation.
 
No. I always thought political compass used ****ty questions.

Of course they do. They have an agenda in mind and the test is merely a ruse in pursuing that agenda.

I actually gave what would probably be considered a "pro-choice" answer on the quiz.

Yeah, this test puts me a little to the left of center, but i see myself as being a little to the right of center and more libertarian than what they say.
