geoffrey Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 August!! You didn't add me! Economic Left/Right: 5.13 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.97 is my recent score. Right in there with RB and Reagan. We don't have a real authoritarian/libertarian balance though that's for sure. A pretty equal balance between left and right economically though. I am starting to dislike this test though. At first it was pretty accurate, but my views have substaintially become more libertarian since I began posting here, yet its not reflected in the score. Boo!! Those views on religion in school and crime and punishment will haunt me forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theloniusfleabag Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Economic Left/Right: -6.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.82 I have avoided this test for a while now, because many of the questions are too 'trite', and leave no room for interpretation regarding circumstance. However, for a chuckle, I gave it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Anthony Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Economic Left/Right: 7.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.74 (I was expecting an extreme 10/-10) This is a ridiculous test. It allows the creator of the test to conceal their own political bias to skew overall results. Furthermore, some of the statements assume knowledge which the respondent may not have. How the algorithm deals with their answer can not possibly reflect their political opinion. Take this statement: Multinational companies are unethically exploiting the plant genetic resources of developing countries. The first thing that I thought was "What the hell do I know?" The second thing that comes to mind is "Are they talking about EVERY multinational company or SOME multinational companies or whatever??" The third thing that comes to mind is "Are they talking about EVERY developing country....?" and all of the different combinations of the above. What the hell do I know what multinational companies are doing? Are you asking if I know what they are doing? or if I agree to what they are doing (assuming what you say they are doing is correct)? If I am ignorant of the true facts of how multinationals operate, my answer does not properly represent my political opinion. To infer my political bias from my forced answer is nonsense. The respondents should never have to wonder if they must assume any part of the statement is correct. An unbiased wording of the statement (for example) would be: Multinational companies should have the right to exploit the plant genetic resources of developing countries even if the methods are non-sustainable or the results lead to extinction of a plant species. Strongly Agree | Agree | Disagree | Strongly Disagree Whether the companies actually do this or not is irrelevant when it comes to determining my political bias or the ethics of the propostion.

Guest Warwick Green Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Your political compass Economic Left/Right: -1.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.97 It makes me a left libertarian. No way. At best I'm center/right. I'll go along with the libertarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rover1 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 E L/R: 0.38 SL/A: -1.69 In other words, almost exactly on centre, but very slightly Libertarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remiel Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Economic Left/Right: -5.63 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.05 Not sure how accurate it really is.

Canadian Blue Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Try Politopia.com as they have a very good quiz as well. I find it to be accurate. I scored as a centrist on the politopia quiz. Political Compass Economic Left/Right: -5.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.18 Sounds about right. www.politopia.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
