A new political compass - where are you on it?

[qijackie]

- A friend sent me this web site and I took the (very timely) political compass test and think it is terrific! It makes you stop and think where you really are on these issues without anyone but you and you and you knowing the results. Unless you blab to your friends, of course! You might even learn a few things (what a concept!).

All of the information on this site is worth reading BUT take the test FIRST.

Have fun!

1. I am way

on the lower left quadrant, past Dennis K. :D

[kalian]

2. Good test....

My results:

Economic Left/Right: -7.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.82

More liberal than Ghandi, Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama! :evilgrin:

[wuushew]

3. Apparently Ghandi is more of a centrist than I am

Economic Left/Right: -6.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.59

[KissMyAsscroft]

4. I hate these things.

You cant answer these questions yes or no. You just cant.

I ended up almost exactly where Ghandi is, and Im not sure about Ghandi's views on porno and weed.

These compasses are useless.

[kalian]

14. They're not "yes and no" questions....

there are four possibilities.
As for Ghandi...he was extremely liberal and besides, are you going
to doubt ANY Hindu's views towards sex...? :evilgrin:

[rexcat]

5. That was cool!

My results:
Economic Left/Right: -6.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.03

[lcordero]

6. My results were:

Economic Left/Right: -10.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.54

[WatchWhatISay]

7. Proud to be right there with Nelson Mandela

and a Polar Opposite of Bush

[TahitiNut]

8. Interesting ...

[kalian]

12. Quite...I would say....

Edwards is more of a "right-winger" than holy Joe.
Kucinich and Sharpton are our candidates. ;)

[Exultant Democracy]

17. I don't give this much gravitas

A lot of it is based on voting record, and often times people vote for compromise bills. Even Holy Joe would end up in Negatives in both ranges if you only take their core beliefs.

[0rganism]

21. issues2000.org rates them on expressed beliefs, and you're correct...

...a lot of them do scooch over to the left on the issues2000 scale. Of course, this is during a primary, when they're trying to appeal to the base. They might wiggle back to the center a bit come the GE.

9. Proud to be on Gandhi's side

Economic Left/Right: -6.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.90

But our candidates for president chart was interesting

edited to take out image because TahitiNut beat me!

[For PaisAn]

10. Very interesting section

on where the Democratic Presidential candidates place on the graph.

[Lefty48197]

11. - 6.00 Economic; -3.74 Social

Puts me in the ballpark with Nelson Mandela, The Dalai Lama, and Ghandi.

[camero]

13. Way left

Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.82

[renegade000]

15. with the dalai lama and mandela

Economic Left/Right: -4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.74

[Cheesehead]

16. That was fun!

Economic Left/Right: -8.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.9

No wonder I sometimes feel like a Socialist!

[Terwilliger]

19. damn!

I'm NOT an extremist compared to you! :hi:

[Terwilliger]

18. Left/Right, -7.25, Lib/Auth, -3.85

Hey...guys?? I'll be over here with Ghandi, and Nelson, and the Dalai...

[0rganism]

22. Stop opressing me, you authoritarian you!

It's all relative. :evilgrin:

[flaminbats]

24. you and I are like two peas busting the pod...

economic/lr (-8.12)..lib/auth (-4.82)

The closest primary candidate to my views is Al Sharpton, with Dennis Kucinich a close second.

[0rganism]

20. About the same as last time: -8.88 economic, -7.64 libertarian

The site says they updated it a month ago, and I did notice a couple new questions pertaining to civil liberties and genetic patents that I don't recall from before.

[fortyfeetunder]

23. I'm in good company

Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama...In the lower left quadrant...hmmm...
