Where does your "political compass" point?

www.politicalcompass.org

Let’s see yours. Did this with a bunch of friends here in Sweden, have yet to see somone pass out of the same quadrant I am in. The closest anyone has gotten to leaving the quadrant so far is somone who was on the vertical axis.

Around the same area as Mandela and the Dalai Lama :smiley:

Methinks the test says more about the people who made it than the people taking it, but a fun 5 mintues anyhow.

Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -5.85
ehh…I’m in the same quadrant as Ghandi, Dalai Lama and Mandela?
Same as you!

:slight_smile:

hey, just the one square firther to the left and further down from you!
that’s where I am.
So we’re pretty close!

:slight_smile:

My political compass:

Economic Left/Right: -1.38
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -1.23

So I’m in that same quadrant too, but damn close to center. I guess I’m most like Jean Chretien.

Good lord, even my political views are boring! :frowning:

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 0.88
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -3.33

There was a thread about this last year - Link

When I took the original test my compass was:

Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.72

After taking the test again - almost a year later - my compass is:

Economic Left/Right: -6.88
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -2.97

When I took it last year:
Economic Left/Right: 0.13
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -5.54

When I took it today:
Economic Left/Right: 0.25
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.82

Wow, I’m just a little bit off of all of you so far, hahaha. Clock me in at

Economic Left/Right: +4.75
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -1.59

Economic = -4.88
Auth/Lib = -1.38

I’ve always found the traditional left/right lacking, so its a neat test.

Economic Left/Right: 3.50
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -3.59

Economic Left/Right: -5.25
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -6.87

If you look at the chart of famous figures on that site, none of them are in the libertarian right quandrant (must have forgotten Ayn).

Economic Left/Right: -3.25
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -1.38
Who knew?

I’m in the same quadrant as most of the people here:

Economic Left/Right: -3.50
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.00

http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/questionnaire.pl?page=printable_graph&X=-3.50&Y=-4.00

Economic Left/Right: 8.50
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.77

Roughly what I figured

I’m in the upper right corner, with George W. Bush and Ariel Sharon.

But as the OP said, the phrasing of the questions tells us quite a bit about the people who created the quiz. They obviously have their own set of prejudices, and don’t think highly of people who don’t share those prejudices.

Economic Left/Right: -7.00
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -5.54

Hrm!

Economic L/R: +3.38
Authoritarian L/R: +0.36

I hate to say it, but I pratically one-dimensional although I do have a great sense of humor.

I am pratically…

astorian, I too sensed a slant in the questions…

Economic Left/Right: -3.38
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -5.44

Very odd, since I find libertarianism a particularly infantile philosophy.
