Take the "Political Compass" Test!

Recommended Posts

Economic Left/Right: -1.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.38

I took it quickly, and would have guessed I would be further right in the economic category and closer north in the latter. May take it again later.

"An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind." One of my favorites. :)
FWIW, I am registered Independent, but would love to register Libertarian if the party ever gets its act together as a viable third option.

Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I know I took it lost time, but I didn't post, so I don't remember. But this time it's -3.75 economic, and -5.18 libertarian.

Economic Left/Right: 4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.95

economic to the right
social neutral

not a surprise (trust the free market, but respect individuals to make their own choices and live with it and not burden others)

I'm still not sure how anyone can be socially extreme without being very economically liberal. It's pretty much in the definition (i.e., the loading of that graph should look like a cross section of an empty funnel on its side).

- if one is socially prioritized, they are likely NOT very economically frugal - even if they give lip service otherwise.

And vice versa;

- if one is economically frugal in terms of social spending, they must be socially neutral - even if they give lip service otherwise)

(claiming to want programs, but not want to spend it is just naivity in action. we succeed by by being irresponsible - I want a lot of programs, social, military, etc and I want others to pay for it)

Interesting. 5 years ago, I was:

Economic Left/Right: -3.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.05

Today I am:

Economic Left/Right: -3.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.41

So, a statistical wash.

Obviously, I have already achieved perfection. ;)
