Political Compass

Joie de Vivre —

[url=http://www.politicalcompass.org/]Take the test![/url]

Last time I did one of these - just a few weeks ago - I was very lefty left, which is OK but I found the test simple. This is a better test.

So this time I'm very slighty right and a fairly strong libertarian:
[b]Economic Left/Right: 0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.13[/b]

I took this a few years ago and I was Ghandi. This time I'm not like anyone on the chart.

I took the test. Was quite long. This is what it came up with.

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -2.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.23

dont have a clue what it means

So economically you're quite lefty - an idealist perhaps, or maybe just fairer than most - and socially you're quite strict and demanding. According to that website. But neither of those scores is really hardcore, you're kind of centrist.

I got

Economic Left/Right: -7.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.33

Pretty much exactly the same as Ghandi by their estimation!

(without the polytheism)

I got:

Economic Left/Right: -2.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.08

Pretty much the same as when I last did this quiz.

Dawud — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 12:27

Economic Left/Right: -2.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.03

Seraphim — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 12:29

Economic Left/Right: -3.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.54

I dont knw what that means.

Ya'qub — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 12:32

It means you, Dawud, Beast and Naz are all pretty similar, and I'm like you guys only more so!

Joie...what does this mean

Economic Left/Right: -3.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.00

Joie de Vivre — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 - 16:02

It's a test that plots people as coordinates in a simple chart. Assuming nothing shakes up your worldview in the next few days you could try it again to check for consistency and even then you can treat it as an incidental curiosity.

It means you're fairly socialist - the onus is on the government to tax the rich and provide public services, and you feel stronger about that than about social behaviour, but in terms of social behaviour you're kind of strict as well. Nanny state suits you fine. Again, the numbers are not that hardcore. Ya'qub's the most hardcore socialist but also, economics aside, very live-and-let-live when it comes to lifestyles. Plus you'll meet a man with a squeaky voice, he's dodgy.

Here's mine.
Economic Left/Right: -3.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.97

I think that makes me a Libertarian Socialist.
