Political Compass Test

[Indigo]

Maybe that explains it. I've always seen myself a bit "more centered" in the economic left-right line than what that graphic shows.

[Ronja Rotschopf]

Economic Left/Right: -5,88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5,03

I'm not surprised

[Jos Elkink]

I was curious whether I had moved much ...

My 2003 result:
Economic Left/Right: -1.88
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.90

My 2011 result:
Economic Left/Right: -2.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.59

I thought I had moved further to the right/libertarian corner, but it seems I moved in the opposite direction ...

[Junesun]

Me 2011:
Economic -5.88
Social -6.56

[Henkie]

Economic Left/Right: 2.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.54


Am I one of the few right-wing people playing this game?

Oeeh wait, Snickie I'm starting to like you

[Alladinsane]

I don't remember the exact stats, but the last time I took it I was something like +5.08 X axis and +.2 on the Y axis. I was surprised by the Y axis. I knew I was right wing on the X and it was about right. I lean pretty hard on that side.

Snickie, I am starting to like you too!

Be well

Economic Left/Right: -5.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.87

[Lure]

Economic left/right: -5.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.82

I'm freaking close to Dalai Lama. :"D Sure there's a little margin of error, because my English aren't so great after all, but the main current seems to be clear.

Meh.

I did this ages ago, and didn;t like it then. it subsumes politics into two binaries - right/left and authoritarian/libertarian.

Both binaries are increaisngly pluralistic, and answers to many issues (aprticularly the environment) in recent times no longer fall easily along those axis.

Anyway, I did it again and came out pretty much the same:
Your political compass:
Economic Left/Right: -9.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.28

Which is a bit more extreme libertarian than last time.

I've always been a bit miffed by this test. Politically, I'm a strong socialist, and belive in state (or, preferabbly, local government) provision and regulation for many things.
Yet, at the same time, I have a very deep and intrinsic mistruct for authority, and hierarchical control in any form, particularly national governments. The latter seems to come out stronger in this test.

Done now:
Economic Left/Right: -9.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.05


What's interesting is that I've shifted increasingly to an anarchist position in my own politics since I last did that test.
(Though not in the US sense of the term (there seems to be a massive difference between US libertarian free marketerring anti-statism called "anarchism" to the European tradiation))


It seems the test is predicated upon the existence of the state; moving from prefering a non-authoritarian state to no state at all (a pretty significant shift) has had no impact whatsoever upon the outcome of theat test for me...

Economic Left/Right: -6.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.97



Nothing surprising here either

[Xander]

I've taken this so many times I know how to get right into the bottom left hand corner, although if I take it normally I'm usually quite deep in that corner anyway. Here's me when I take it properly -

Economic Left/Right: -8.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.15

[Snickie]

Look who hasn't changed.

X = 4.00
Y = -1.03

Economic left/right: -5.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.82

I'm freaking close to Dalai Lama. :"D Sure there's a little margin of error, because my English aren't so great after all, but the main current seems to be clear.

I had to do this again and results were:
Economic Left/Right: -3.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.79

Maybe I'm not so high on the chart of liberal leftism, but I think it's good that I don't think so strictly about some things. It's gives an opportunity to look things easier from another point of view than only mine.
