[W:583] Political Compass Thread

I actually found the questions on the Political Compass extremely biased and meaningless when applied to my philosophy. Most of them I would have to answer "neither" since I don't agree with either option. It is entirely touchyfeely based, rather than rationally based. I much prefer "The World's Shortest Political Quiz" by Marshall Fritz (Adocates for Self-Government). That one shows precisely where one stands, using real questions that are easy to answer.

Was wondering if we had one and here's this sticky so here:

10, -3? Hrm I've never understood exactly how all the nuance of these strongly disagrees and such interplay but I usually end up 8-10 right to the economic right and 3-6 down towards libertarian, and that all sounds about right.
 
I never liked these tests. They always have poor questions in my view, and too general. I will generally pick one way or the other depending on specifics.
 
I figured this would serve as a nice introduction of me to the forum.. Some of these questions largely depends on specifics, but I think the results will suffice.

My Political Views
I am a center-left moderate social libertarian
Left: 1.36, Libertarian: 2.47


Hmmm
 
You are a right social authoritarian.
Right: 7.48, Authoritarian: 4.12

Heh, I'm a far-right, social libertarian.

I'm an non-interventionist.

I'm not sure I agree with this one. For all of the questions I put matters a little because I didn't like the options presented to me. They assumed that I wanted government to be involved in personal morality which I don't.

That's quite a development that I've had in 5 years.
 
This is my political compass:


Economic Left/Right: -7.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44

Economic Left/Right: 0.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.21

Economic Left/Right: 1.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.67

Thought I'd stick these here too for any who are curious. Not *completely* accurate, as in some cases there was no answer that reflected me well, but I chose the closest thing.

anyone tried this compass before? filteries.com/politics

Both tests are pretty problematic - especially the Political Compass one that the thread is about - so I'll share the results from the better of the two. I also answered in the extreme for a couple of questions because there wasn't a less extreme answer in the same vein, so I'm a litter further away from the center than I would otherwise be. At any rate, results were pretty much what I figured.

Post your test results here.

Anyway, here are mine:

Economic Left/Right: -2.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.28

My results a few months ago were around {-4,-4}, so you could say that my views have shifted significantly.

Moderator's Warning:
Stickied this, and note the second quiz mentioned here: Political Compass Thread - Page 6

Quiz mentioned by link above can be found here: Political Spectrum Quiz - Your Political Label

Thank you mpg for the second quiz



I can't find the means to print this, but it's a bit skewed showing me dead center libertarian left, which the chart has me a shadow of Bernie Sanders, however past tests have shown that I am a bit more libertarian than that, about where Noam Chomski lands.

Interesting
 
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?



Ah....I just posted that it was skewed for me, but the combined results should have us voting for the same person, Bernie Sanders. I have a feeling that isn't the case with you...LOL

If it weren’t for that SCOTUS aptmt, I probably would have.
 
I got about what I always get. I know there are some people who question whether I'm actually slightly liberal or not, but it turns out I am!
Your Compass:
You are a left moderate social libertarian.
Left: 3.69, Libertarian: 2.25
Foreign Policy: 2.44 (strong intervening military is positive)
Culture War: -2.44 (liberal is negative)
