I wasn't happy with the original test posted in this thread, but the axes here seem more correct, though I wouldn't call myself a fascist.

I thought I would be a little more towards center but meh, here are my results.

You are a center-left moderate social libertarian.
Left: 2.33, Libertarian: 2.08
 
Anyone else use the iSideWith test? I like it cause it tells you which electoral districts voted in people with your views.

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

just took a test a couple of weeks ago. i've moved a couple notches left, but that's about it.

I have taken this test multiple times and do not really like how scewed a lot of the questions are and the lack of context makes it very hard to answer many of the questions. Additionally, I would prefer there to be a "maybe" among the answers. Nonetheless, here is my result;

I personally consider myself much less authoritarian than that (I am a Hoppean Libertarian), but at least it managed to place me in the correct field.

New to the forum. I agree with some the questions in the quiz I took are a little too black and white, but here's my result.

I don't like the Political Compass test at all. It is made by leftists with a political agenda and the questions are not very good. It is still quite useful for comparisons.

This is my results.

Mine are similar and I disagree with your assessment on the questions. Let's not forget that the Tories of the American Revolution were the conservatives and the Liberals were the revolutionaries. That said, today's "Liberals" are not like our ancestors. They are Tories seeking to impose authoritarian power over American citizens.

In keeping with that idea, being a "liberal" isn't an insult. It's about freedom. Today's "liberals" are not about freedom, they are about authoritarianism. The test is about traditional liberalism, not the BS being pushed by the Democrats.

wat? the Democratic party is certainly not "seeking to impose authoritarian power over American citizens", at least no more so than the Republicans, and I'd certainly argue that the Republicans are doing that way more.

based on your own political compass results, you'd fit pretty nicely alongside Bernie Sanders and AOC. Obviously, the Clinton / Obama types less so.

in classical terms, liberal was more of a centrist thing, which is more or less still where anyone with a brain still views it, and if you want something less milquetoast, you start moving into social democrat / progressive territory.

"No more so than the Republicans". LOL

These are my results though I don't think I have much faith in this test.Most, if not all, of these questions are much more complicated than just saying I agree or disagree. I mean, abortion is murder, but I don't think the government should be banning it. Unions were responsible for the creation of the middle class, but today they are destroying corporations. We need a strong military to protect ourselves, but we are not supposed to be the world's police force. I think I am far more to the right and libertarian than this test gives credit for.
 
Nice argument. You got me. What shall I ever do?

Take a cold shower. Live and learn. Have a nice snack. Do whatever makes you feel good about yourself.

LIfe is short and it's sad to see people wasting time hating on each other. IMHO, I think highly politically partisan people have some issues that, if worked out, would let them live happier lives. :)

You're more left than libertarian, but I suspect that's average for Millennial.

Meanwhile, Hillary and other Democrat leaders have a lot more in common with Republicans: The Political Compass

snipped all the images so this isn't a million miles long, but i have pretty major gripes with all of these lol. like, Hillary was / is probably one of the furthest right Dems we've had in a while, so I'm fine with her being anywhere near center-right. Obama is definitely a notch or two to the left of her, still right of center, though. Ron Paul would definitely be way further down on the libertarian scale, and I'd argue maybe a bit less right, but where they tend to show him is probably more in line with where Rand should be. Bernie should be about where Jill Stein should be. I know nothing about Jill Stein, and don't care about her, so I don't know how accurate that is for her.

Our main disagreement was really over how the Democratic party falls vs the Republicans, especially on the authoritarian scale, and I think even all of the compasses you posted definitely agree that they're at least not AS BAD, but maybe still not great for the most part, but we have a lot of good people in the Dems now, especially if you're wanting to move away from that center-right, authoritarian streak they'd been in.

Grandiloquence at its finest!

Just say right left middle...geez
 
Bernie should be about where Jill Stein should be. I know nothing about Jill Stein, and don't care about her, so I don't know how accurate that is for her.

She is a barely functional idiot who thinks a WiFi router can give you cancer.
Not to mention every bit as much a fully functioning Russian asset as Trump, except to the Left instead of Right.

Yeah, why didn't they profile Bernie yet, or Sherrod Brown, or Buttigieg, or Beto, or Hickenlooper?
Very interesting to see most if not all the mainstream Dems piling up on the right just under Trump except not as "authoritarian"...whew, I guess that's a relief! (LOL)
