Political Compass:Where does your needle point?

[DFLer4edu]

I think a lot of you have done this before. I would be interested to see where DUers fall on this. If you've never heard of it, it is exactly what it sounds like, a political compass. Click on the link to get a further explanation and to take the test.

1. Economic Left/Right: -5.25; Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.10

2. Way to the left and deep in the Libertarian.

3. Libertarian left.

My exact scores never match up, but they're always in the libertarian left quadrant.

7. This poll is a push poll

Above it, we're shown where world leaders stand by a graph. The vast majority didn't take the test. They just voted as far as they could in the exact opposite direction of Bush.

btw, I can't make a poll

6. Economic Left/Right: -6.13 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.13

thanks for the link! I took this test a few yrs ago and at that time, I was left of center.

Now it looks like I've moved further to the left.

8. I'm miffed with politicalcompass.org; they ranked me -10/-10

I am not an anarchist. I am not a Marxist. Yet they rank me "off the scale" on both scales. This is blatant right-wing bias. I am not an extremist. The scale is biased to the right and ranks me unfairly.

10. Did you try and pick the anwsers that would be interperted as liberal?

[wli]

15. no, their line of questioning was all black/white issues

I expect it has something to do with strong agree/disagree for every question.

They didn't ask any questions I thought had gray areas.

9. Economic left/right -4.63; Social libertarian/authoritarian -3.62

Very cool test. I've never seen it before. Thanks for posting!

12. If I am readding it right

Economic Left/Right: -7.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.56
I am nelson mandella??? My eyes are bad but that cant be because I will never personally hold a gun.

13. Economic Left/Right: -4.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.97

[BBradley]

14. -9, -9

I get thereabouts almost every time.

16. In the ever flawed political compass,

my score this time is Economic Left/Right: -6.00 / Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.23
it changes every time I take it do to a major flaw in their survey.
