The Political Compass


Economic Left/Right: -9.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.28

 

[T-Dawg]

Here's my most recent take, just did it today:

Economic Left/Right: -9.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.38

They really need to make a 3d quiz - one that separates personal and political freedom. I actually distrust representative government and feel that schools should combat religious sentiment, but those aren't questions on the test .

EDIT: By the way, they have a feature that lets you combine a bunch of people's scores together now so you don't have to do it yourself: http://politicalcompass.org/crowdchart.php?showform

At least there's one person to the left of me on the spectrum.

Woah! I didn't expect to be considered so left and libertarian as the chart made me look. I'm genuinely confused.

Economic Left/Right: -9.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.36

This chart is somewhat misleading. The real libertarian direction is -45 degrees (bottom right corner). I'd re-label it as follows:

Ordinate:
Up - Authoritarian
Down - Socially Liberal

Abscissa:
Left - Commie
Right - Free Market

 

[Terrywoodenpic]

-6.75 economic l/r
-6.06 lib/aut

I am a normal European Liberal

You could re label it that way to confirm your beliefs
But you would be wrong.

You are a fairly extreme left wing anachist.

Nothing wrpong with that... but it makes government rather difficult.

Government is always difficult.

On reflection the reason for my surprise is that my sense of the centre is to the left and down of where it is on that diagram. I am out of touch, basically. The other thing is I can imagine becoming much more anarchic & communitarian than I currently am so having so little space on the graph to cover seems odd.

No...my beliefs need no confirmation. I think my changes serve a common understanding.
LIbertarians are all about social & economic liberty, which is the lower right corner.
I suspect the authors of that chart don't understand us well. I prefer this one:
