Political Compass

I forget my exact numbers but I know I was like economic: -8 and social: -5 or something in that general area.

Economic Left/Right: -4.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.03

I'm more central than you guys.

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 4.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.72


Pretty good... I feel it should have been something like

4.5 -7

I'm near no one.
Economic Left/Right: 5.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.05

Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.41

Me and the Dalai Lama are kicking it together. [grin]

Economic Left/Right: 0.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.05

Lol. I'm like, almost smack dead in the middle. According to the chart I'm right there with Gerhard Schroder. And I hate that guy.

I think that chart thing is messed up. I think it just tallies how far you are up or down, left or right. I think it ignores the relationships between the answers of the questions.

Economic Left/Right: -7.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.26

Economic Left/Right: -2.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.74

Kinda moderate, I suppose, but I do like the quadrant I'm in. Some of the questions I wish had an "Undecided" option on, and as always, I was tempted on a significant number of them to try to over-analyze the question and read into things, and then I totally lost the meaning of the question (which is one reason I like the "Undecided" options to be available).

Economic Left/Right: 5.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.13

Economic Left/Right: -3.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.05

Economic Left/Right: -4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.64

I'm in line with the Dali Lama and Ghandi. Go figure.

Unfortunately, these questions were just a little too slanted. There are much larger, grey areas. Just because I happen to agree that marijuana should be legal, for example, doesn't mean much.

I don't remember my previous numbers, but they weren't too far off.

It could also mean that many US right wing voters aren't really right wing at all, but refuse to concede that, because of the demonization of words such as liberal and libertarian.

Could be. Could be.

But is 'libertarian' demonized? I've never heard it demonized...

I'm around -4,-4; don't remember exactly.

All you Americans kickin' it all up in this quadrant: how does it feel to see how far away you are even from Kerry let alone Bush? o_O

Economic Left/Right: 2.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.82

I think that's probably about right although I would answer some of those questions differently based on circumstances. It's strange that on the international chart on the bottom of the page there is no one listed in this quadrant.

Everyone appears to be miles away from Bush!!!

I got -0.25 and 0.2 which is a sort of nothing area where no one is. I am unique!

Midway between Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama [smile]
