Politcal Compass

[Zeta Crossfire]

http://politicalcompass.org/test
It's a fun test for anyone interested in politics. Like I guessed thought I was I'm a Libertarian with a slight lean to the right.

Economic Left/Right: 0.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.49


What did everyone else get?

THE FREER THE MARKETS THE FREER THE PEOPLE BBBBOOOOOYYYYIII

[Silko]

Economic Left/Right: -4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.03

moderate Liberal. Already knew that.

[silversleek(GEN)]

Economic Left/Right: -5.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.05

a little surprised. i actually support a communist-fascism society more than a communist-anarchy society. I thought i'd be a bit higher up, and maybe a tad farther left.

I will declare this "compass" a failure...

When you are troubled, it's better not to think about it, but to keep busy with more cheerful things.

...

Abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all.

...

Astrology accurately explains many things.

These and so many others have absolutely nothing to do with political and economic perspectives, and instead just skew the results.

Skews it enough that it puts me toward Authoritarian instead of Libertarian economically, when in reality I'm much closer to a Libertarian system.

It's not a perfect compass, few are, just a generalized one.

It's not a perfect compass, few are, just a generalized one.

It's a failure if it doesn't even have valid questions. Seriously, wtf do those have to do with anything? Someone's opinion on art is totally independent of politics and economics.

Additionally, many of the other questions were poorly worded or were unrepresentative of either side. Out of the ~50 or so questions, only 10-15 were actually good, high-quality, well thought out questions. That's be 30%, which is by far failing for any rating system.

When you get Myth mad you know you know you have failed.

This is better. We used it in my PoliSci class at UofM this year.

Definitely an improvement, but questions 7, 8, 9, 14, 17, and 18 are irrelevant questions that shouldn't be there. And age/gender at the bottom are also irrelevant. I give it a C.

At least it got it right and placed me as a Libertarian. http://puu.sh/5tvcy.png
