Hey guys! I'm new so I don't know how to post the pic of the chart, but...

Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.51

I hate this quiz. It's worth noting that Obama and Romney's politics are nearly identical in the eyes of the political compass...
 
why create a database where you have to figure out the populations political leanings...when you can have them do it for you?
 
Economic Left/Right: -7.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.62

Though the questions are different and more numerous, the graph is a 45 degree rotation of those of the American Libertarian Party's (LP) "World's Smallest Political Quiz". The rotation is not trivial; whereas this graph suggests that authoritarianism and rightness are irreducible to each other, the LP's suggests that both left and right are defined by the opposite ways they inconsistently favor authority on some issues and liberty on others. But the two paradigms have similar, serious problems.

The LP's anonymous "economic freedom" is oxymoronic: "economic" implies scarcity, meaning that not everybody can be free; if the landlord is free to evict, then the tenant is not free to occupy, for example. The Political Compass, in making the Left-Right continuum elemental, has an opportunity to define it correctly, as ranging from egalitarians, to supporters of the status quo, and finally to those who wish to increase existing privilege by, for example, ending progressive taxation.

But it squanders that opportunity when it defines left-libertarians as supporters of "voluntary collectivization". By implication, then, right-libertarians are for voluntary privatization? So if I opt not to "volunteer" to ask for the landlord's leave before trespassing, the right-libertarian has no quarrel with me? When in the history of mankind have the have-nots volunteered to have not? No, left and right, from the time the delegates to the Estates General first took their seats, has always been a matter of distribution of power. Whether that power, however distributed, will be organized or anarchic, that is the question answered by the presence or absence of the "libertarian" affix.

Well, it's consistent.

I suppose this would be surprising to some people...

Economic Left/Right: -5.00

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.
Click to expand...

New score:

Economic: -8.25
Social: -7.49

dat shift to the left tho
 
I don't have time to read through this thread, but I did take the quiz and found it somewhat interesting.

I am a left social moderate.

Left: 7.3, Libertarian: 0.17
