Political Compass Test

Economic Left/Right: -1.25
Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.82

*shrugs* And I really don't care one way or the other.

[Meh]

Yes, I would really question this test thing, too. You noticed that the questions tended toward more reactionary right instead of radical left, too, didn't you?

I think these people were somewhat of a leftist group from what I read on the site and how they describe things. Plus, they had articles against the right wing while none against the left wing. hmmm...........

That's what I told my friend who sent it to me before I tried it. I said whoever made it is far to the left or right so anything resembling middle of the road is going to come to their veiwpoint.

The questions did seem left leaning and also some of them would be answered the same way by both sides since they were double questions.
Something like "Do you think that schools should be free to teach a better understanding of proper values". The answer is almost always yes becuase left or right the schools be free to teach your version of whatever. I pushed it a little further than the test did but I saw those questions.

However the liberals have more of one thing than the authoratarian. Open mindedness. Some would say that the liberals are so open minded that they let a bunch of junk in. I would say that a true authoratarian would never bother with creating such a test. A true authoratarian would just expalin the right answers at length with examples.

i would venture to say that most liberals are no more openminded than most authoritarians; they just have different things that they're openminded about.

I'm close to Tony Blair. I'm almost dead center though.

Actaully what is funny is that it flops around when you add struture to it

liberal leaders = close minded (I know the one true path to enlightenment)

liberal flock = open minded (People can do whatever except for preventing people from doing whatever)

authoritarion leaders = open minded (I'll belive anything that looks like it will keep me on top)

authoritarion flock = close minded (to obey and enforce the principles is the most importantant virtue)

***

many other people = not minding at all (Whatever. I'm just here for the cheeseburgers, OK? Can you keep that working? Good. Fine.)

Economic Left/Right: -3.12
Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.33

I never knew I was that left. I'm usually just a bit up from the center. Very interesting quiz. I gotta send that to all my friends!

[Jos Elkink]

I am quite satisfied with this result ... Exactly where I consider myself to be: more or less in the middle / slight left of it on socio-economic issues and really left-winged on ethical issues ...

Economic Left/Right: -1.88
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.90

[new.vogue.nightmare]

I like being right in the middle. Y'know, seeing as I'm a chainheart machine and all o_o

[jeslange]

I didn't do it for me, but I did it for my favorite char....
Economic Left/Right: 0.75
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.23
Since some of the questions aren't applicable in Cantr, this isn't really accurate. It's interesting how this char tries hard to make balanced decisions in all regards, and that he/she falls right near the center of both scales.

Hehehe...wouldn't it be fun if Ephirol did a few of his chars?

[The Hunter]

Economic left/right: 1.75
Libertarian/Authoritarian -0.92

Almost bulls eye..

Does that mean i cant make up my mind?

Swymir... If U'd B close to Tony Blair I'd be close to... *shivers* Balkenende...

Prolly doesnt ring a bell? Good. Keep it that way.

Economic left/right: -1.50
Libertarian/Authoritarian -1.69

That was an interesting test.

[new.vogue.nightmare]

Hmm, more liberal then the Dali Lama.

I really think Anarchy is a good idea.

But some of you people who are near the middle must be nuts!

[new.vogue.nightmare]

Anarchy's a good idea, huh?
*Plants a pickaxe in your skull and takes everything of value or use that you might conceivably own*
Hey, a guy's gotta make a living somehow.

Now is it such a good idea? :D Just in case anyone was really in favor of anarchy
