sounds about right, i guess…though some of the questions were worded poorly.
glad to see that i’m hanging with ghandi.
On the line, baby:
Economic Left/Right: 5.50

I would have thought I was more Libertarian

Exactly what I expected: Socially liberal, moderate/left on economic issues. No shockers here.
I was near ghandi
I win!
Economic: -5.5

Hmmm, not bad company to be in. I also share a dot on the graph with the Dalai Lama. And not surprising at all that I’m in the exact opposite quadrant from the sitting Resident.
Economic Left/Right: -7.88
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -5.38
This is about where I thought I’d be, not bad company either (Ghandi/Gandhi) if I do say so myself.
In a whole 'nother dimension from Yeticus Rex and Bruce_Daddy.

I seem to have drifted to the right since last time (mainly on economic issues), but the current US situation makes me feel like an ultra-lefty.
So did they.
FAQ #1:
Some of the questions are slanted
All of them are slanted! It’s important to understand that this isn’t a survey, and these aren’t questions - they’re propositions. Some are extreme, some are more moderate. That’s how we can show you whether you lean towards extremism or moderation on the Compass.
and #3:
Some of the propositions are culturally biased
Right. That’s why the Compass is being promoted in western democracies. We don’t pretend that, for example, the responses of a citizen of a rural region of China can undergo the same evaluation process.

I’m almost exactly on Nelson Mandela politically wise, and near the Dalai Lamai.
Can anyone help me interpret it? I have no idea what it means.

Authoritarian/Libertarian: -6.92
How do we manage to have a debate around here - it’s getting very crowded in the bottom left.
