Your Political Compass

Take the test below to find out where you lie on the 'political compass'. It's a fascinating test and seems quite reliable.

For anyone interested here's mine.



And remember - it's just for fun!

Me:

Fairly spot on I would have thought.

Not far from yours jd my chart.

Having trouble uploading and will add it later when at home.

Pretty spot on as well.

It is very accurate isn't it.

Hmm, interesting.

Apparently:



Right in the middle. Just as I expected.

Erm, that's not right in the middle

It's the 4th time I've done it and I've moved a bit everytime but usually about there.

Not the best to be honest, look at the first question, it is so blatantly loaded as to make the rest of the test pointless -
"If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations."
And questions such as "There is now a worrying fusion of information and entertainment."  That is irrelevant to your political opinion. Yes, there is, however Tony Benn and Lord Tebbit could equally strongly agree with that statement.

Anyway, I won't bore you by picking the test apart any further.  Here is my result -

Economic Left/Right: 9.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.05



I don't know where I lost that 0.75...

Yeah some of the questions are false dilemma's and the like but I'm sure its only really meant as a broad tool and for people vaguely curious.

You Milton Friedman.

Me Gandhi.

You Milton Friedman.

How dare you! Take that back!

The man is a statist.  He wrongly believes, like the Keynesians before him, that the government can manipulate the economy to a successful outcome, however, he simply prefers to use the money supply rather than the more blunt instruments of state force and coercion.

Ludwig von Mises, now that is a free market economist.

I'm the only one who's nearer to fascism. My custom title works wonders.

Interesting that most of youse are miles away from where they put Labour - http://www.politicalcompass.org/ukparties2010

Not far off.

Here is a chart showing us all so far -

Resident communist reporting in.  Guess I could say I'm a better Red than all of you

Yes, I'm aware of the simplicity of this test and that it's not 100% accurate and defining someone's actual political beliefs is far more complex and the questions aren't ideal to say the least (for reasons others have mentioned) and blah blah blah.  

Massively couldn't be fu**ed talking about politics right now, it was just meant to be a joke.  I'm really stoned and don't care... but it's pretty accurate in my case.  Got the right quadrant!!

edit: Please don't ban me Reslivo, I know you're fascist and all.

Seems about right.

I'm really stoned and don't care...

Hardly a fair test, then. No stoner is a fascist.
