Typology roundup: the political compass, MBTI, belief-o-matic, and political gauge

In My Humble Opinion
1

On the political compass I was slightly more left and less libertarian than Nelson Mandela (you can see how many world leaders past and present compare here). They address the issue of…being left and “libertarian” in their FAQ:

Exact score: Left: -6.00 and Libertarian: -4.31

The political guage says, *On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Liberal (17). * and On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Liberal (14). (with the scale being 0 liberal and 100 conservative.

You can’t really take the MBTI on the Internet, but there’s links to a bunch of fake ones on the bottom of this page. Mine is ISTP. This is in line with the political tests above because in one definition we were described as “egalitarian”…not in a political context but it lines up well. (You can take a version on the BBC website here. It uses different letters to avoid copyright violation but it’s the same thing.)

On the belief-o-matic I came out as…wtf?

That thing is out of this world… :smack:

Political Compass: Economic Left/Right: -3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.36

Political Gauge: *On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Liberal (13).
On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Liberal (32). *

MBTI - I’ve taken the official thing twice for previous jobs. Both times I was an ISTJ, although my I was significantly less pronounced the second time around - I hit borderline E (which makes sense - I now gain more energy being around others than being alone, but I still like my alone time as well).

Beliefnet:

  1. Orthodox Quaker (100%)
  2. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (91%)
  3. Eastern Orthodox (90%)
  4. Roman Catholic (90%)
  5. Seventh Day Adventist (85%)
  6. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (80%)

hmmm…beliefnet comes out oddly for me now - which makes sense, as I’m struggling with finding the appropriate denomination for me.

Political Compass: Economic -4.25/Social -6.92

Political Gauge: On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Liberal (9), on Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Liberal (36). (I really didn’t think I’d come out so libertarian. It must be that ranking system they used, I hate tests that use that.)

MBTI: Never taken it “for real” but on online tests I’m an INTJ.

Beliefnet: I forget what the exact percentages were but I know I came out as a secular humanist. Which is essentially correct.

Political Compass – exact score -9.88 economic (left)/-8.72 social (libertarian)

(That puts me in a quadrant with Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama – I think I’m quite comfortable there :))

Political Gauge: Strong liberal on both sides (8 for non-fiscal, 11 for fiscal)

(That one’s very American – I tried to translate it, but it some things just don’t work very well in a different political context)

MBTI: I always get INFJ on these things, without exception. Tried it again, and yep – that’s what I got.

And the Belief-o-matic:

**1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (96%)
3. Liberal Quakers (93%)
4. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (91%) **

Yeah, that sounds about right. :cool:

5

Politcal Compass - I don’t remember, but I’m right there with the Dalai Lama.
MBTI - Always ENTP, with “T” being the strongest component and “N” a close second.
BeliefNet -

  1. Secular Humanism (100%)
  2. Unitarian Universalism (99%)
  3. Liberal Quakers (86%)
  4. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (80%)
  5. Nontheist (73%)

I’m still in Gandhiland.
Non-Fiscal Moderate Liberal 22

Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: -3.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.62
Pretty close to The Dalai Lama. I can live with that.

Political Gauge
On Non-Fiscal Issues: Strong Liberal (19)
On Fiscal Issues: Moderate Liberal (28)

MBTI
I am ENTP every time. Varying degrees, but always very close.

Belief-O-Matic

  1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
  2. Liberal Quakers (88%)
  3. Secular Humanism (87%)
  4. Neo-Pagan (85%)
  5. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (75%)
  6. Theravada Buddhism (75%)
  7. New Age (72%)
  8. Mahayana Buddhism (63%)
  9. Taoism (61%)

Funny, I would have thought I’d closer to Buddhism & Taoism, than Christian Protestant. But I guess agnosticism kind of defeats the purpose. Not surprised at all by the 100% Unitarian. I feel very comfortable with that.
