On some of the questions I wish there was a neutral option rather than agree or disagree. Just the same, here are my results:

Economic Left/Right: -1.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.69

No offense to those that are way on the outer edges, but I cannot imagine how anyone could possibly be that extreme if they answered honestly and thoughtfully.

I agree. I think they are answering them that way to show off how true to their ideology they are. If they are really that extreme, then they are a bunch of fundamentalist extremists.
 
A few of the questions are flawed since they are actually fact-based and not opinion based. For example, the answer to "Can a one-party state get legislation passed more efficiently" is yes. No opinion can be held there.

Additionally, the answer to "Can anyone feel naturally homosexual?" is yes according to genomic studies.

There are people who'd answer No to the latter, and probably some who'd answer No to the former also. Opinions are not always correct.



I was pretty much right on Gandhi when I took it a couple of months ago, and must've answered some questions differently 'cos now I'm almost as right-wing as the Dalai Lama :shock: Same general results on both websites.

Just a tad less radical than Obama, right?

Funny. I am glad to see so many people in the lower half. Don't care where people are on the Left-Right thing as much as the Libertarian-Authoritarian continuum.

Economic Left/Right: -5.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.92

This time a year ago, my score was around (-5, -3). I have become more socially libertarian, but I believe I'm further to the left that I have been in the past, and my changes in opinion haven't been recorded on the quiz.

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

Like Maggie, I am not quite sure what this means.

Unlike you and Maggie, the link doesn't work for me. :sigh: Now I'll never know where I am on the graph. It's probably for the best..... :lol:

Howdy Pol, it was a long quiz, then it still left me puzzled. Oh well, such is life.
 
I'm actually pretty surprised to find out that I am more "libertarian" than I thought.
Not the typical libertarian that makes up the majority here of course...apparently I am more "the other kind of libertarian".

I'm also apparently more to the left than I thought I was....hmmmm.
Not sure if I like that because I like to think I am more "blue collar" left.

Very generalized but about right I guess.

Believe it or not, it looks like I'm a libertarian! Libertarian left, that is:

Of course, that's not how "libertarian" is typically understood, so I reject the label.

Actually I don't believe it, not if you identify with the progressive movement which is centered upon collectivism and totalitarianism.

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

All I can say after looking at your graph is...........


EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!
 
Re: a different political compass quiz

Not how I would describe myself exactly, but I guess not too far off. I thought some of the questions were worded in a way that made it difficult for me to choose between agree and disagree. I think there should have been a "no opinion" option.

I've taken this little test a couple of times in the past 12 years or so. The very last one I took today. The other two are from a few years ago. Can't remember exactly but each was taken a few years apart. Also can't remember which I took first and second. :shrug: So with the first two in no particular order...

1st:

2nd:

And today's:
You are a centrist social libertarian.
Right: 0.64, Libertarian: 4.27

Foreign Policy: On the left side are pacifists and anti-war activists. On the right side are those who want a strong military that intervenes around the world. You scored: -3.67

Culture: Where are you in the culture war? On the liberal side, or the conservative side? This scale may apply more to the US than other countries. You scored: -2.79
