Political Compass test

Here's my score:

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -7.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.26

Apparently, I'm in the same company as Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, and the Dalai Lama, so I guess I can't complain!


Another interesting political survery can be found at: SELF-GOV.ORG

It is a short quiz and I think it is fairly accurate, just not as detailed. The best part is that it allows you to choose "maybe."

Here's my score for that test:

Left Liberal

Your Personal issues Score is 90%.
Your Economic issues Score is 30%.

That's no surprise to me!!! 😄
 
90% personal
100% economic... cause its common economics theory that government intervention creates distortion in market signals... so bad.... all government should end... go anarchism!!! woohaa. :D
 
Your political compass

Economic Left/Right: -4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.08

Somewhere in the Dalai Lama's ballpark. 🎈

For the other test:
Your Personal issues Score is 80%.
Your Economic issues Score is 50%. - on the border of Centrist, Libertarian and Left.
 
Hey guys, I am also in the libertarian left quarter like most of you, but more toward the center.

Economic Left/Right: -2.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.87

The funny thing is that I am moving. Ten years ago, I would have been more toward the authoritarian right (like most Western political leaders). My position about some issues are unchanged (anti-religion, for abortion, etc.), but others did evolve a lot.

I used to be for death penalty, then completely against, then now again for only for extreme cases (eg. political, religious or terrorost leaders).

I used to be ultra-liberalist, but I realised that many big companies (eg. in Japan) can be very unscrupulous both regarding the environment and people's health, so there should be some control. Then, I came to think more financial equality between people was needed (although people are naturally unequal) to guarantee social stability and peace. The Japanese have well understood that at least. The Europeans favour equality because of ideals of human rights that all people are born equal and should be given equal chances. If I agree for the chances, I completely disagree that people are born equal (not even fake twins in the same family), and even if they were, the environment and personal experiences will shape their personality, intelligence and whole life.

For me the government is only a means to achieve peace among unequals. India succeeded very well through its Hindu beliefs and philosophy. The government should be as liberal as possible to stimulate the economy, but prevent or punish all abuses, either from corporations or individuals. So politicians should be only the best, most intelligent and most idealistic (devoid of financial greed) people who can arbitrate and responsabilize people in a society as free as possible. That is why I got a score a bit on the left.
 
That's so interesting! I know I find myself agreeing with practically all of your posts, so it makes sense. 👍
 
... I'm trying to see what decissions would make a stalin... its not that easy getting to far anything it seems! :(

... in the right direction
Economic Left/Right: -5.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 3.03
damn... this is a heck of a hard task

woow, cool, my political compass is closest to that of Chopin and Tchaikovskiy... two of my 3 favourite composers (rachman ain't included for some reason) :D
 
The test reveals I am close to Ralph Nader, Micheal Moore or Thomas Paine, or Mozart, Beethoven or Shostakovich. It makes sense.

Not far from my results :haihai:

According to Satori's test:
Libertarian (no surprise)
Your Personal issues Score is 80%.
Your Economic issues Score is 70%.
 
Gee...it sure is hard to see that the person who wrote the questions was a liberal....

Hippyish also:

Economic right/left -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -2.51

I like the company down in the lower left quadrant. Where does Jesus reside?

Mike, is everyone you disagree with a Liberal, or do you use the term like the HOUYHNHNMS use the term "Yahoo?"

Yay, hippies!!!! I love the company there too!! As to where Jesus would reside, this question was asked on another forum, and everyone said he would most likely be a socialist, since his entire life was devoted to the poor and oppressed! One thing is for certain--he would never have been for Bush!!! :p Since a lot of historians believe his teachings were influenced by Buddhism, he would most likely reside in the same quadrant as the Dalai Lama, I suppose. 👍

Do you jump to conclusions and put words in everyone's mouth? Or only self-confessed conservatives?

I expressed no opinion on the validity of the test. I don't see how I could possibly "disagree" with the test writer since there is no single right or wrong answer to the questions....which I thought was the whole point of the thing.

(What's a HOUYHNYNMS, by the way?)
 
Gullivers Travels: Hounynms were gentle intelligent horses. Yahoos were savage humans. Hounynms had no word for "bad" or "evil", they just used Yahoo.
 
Thanks for the info. I had never heard of that before. (I use google).

Me either! You learn something every day, I guess!! Interesting!! :D :D
 
So, I am centre-left, and libertarian.... :-)

And satori's test:
I am a centrist...to the left side though...This fits me quite well, as I have some economic issues which can be more to the right than left from centre, and some other issues are more left than right from the centre..Thus, conclusion: centre.. :D
