I am quite happy to be the polar opposite of Blackdog, although he is way more "out there"

[geoffrey]

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.

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.

(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.

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.

[rover1]

E L/R: 0.38 SL/A: -1.69 In other words, almost exactly on centre, but very slightly Libertarian.

[ClearWest]

August, are you still planning to update the mapping? Looking forward to it!

My score was ;

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.56

[MightyAC]

Economic Left/Right: 0.63

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.90

Barely right of centre and a libertarian... I guess that's why I'd rather have the PC party than the SoCons.

Thanks for the link August.

As much as I am skeptical about the algorithm of this test, we may as well refresh the thread.

Not sure how accurate it really is. Economically, yes, socially harder to say, but probably close enough.

[Liam]

I came is at just slightly Libertarian/Left.
