I am very interested to see where people end up on the political compass.
[broken link removed]

I have always found that left/right does not explain certain opinions I have so I found this test very useful. I am a Libertarian afterall with left wing tendencies*

Your political compass

Economic Left/Right: -2.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.77


*As this test is focussed on American attitudes, I am sure I would be far more central on a European based test.

Did this before I think but I forget the results.

Apparently now, I am:

Economic Left/Right: -4.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.90

Dunno what to make of that TBH.

I prefer my own definition: I'm a right wing libertarian - you can do whatever you like but God help you if you break the law while you're doing it.
 
I am very similar to Gandhi it seems

Economic Left/Right: -3.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.95
 
Economic Left/Right: 2.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.18



Anyone else in my quadrant?
 
Economic Left/Right ................................... -2.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian .................... +1.74
 
Right wing, you ? Ha -4.12 kinda ruins that idea !

Me?
Economic Left/Right: -3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.18
 
Thanks for putting this up, VOR.

The result of the Rebel Jury is as follows:-

Economic Left/Right: -4.25

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.46

I think that puts me around The Dalai Lama. Hhhhmmmmmmm... I bet he has a sneaky pint of Beamish now and again!

Doutcha Dalai boy!!!
 
I know it's only a bit of fun but strictly speaking if some of the questions were worded only slightly differently I may have answered completely differently and changed the results totally. But I guess that's half the point - nailing your colours to the mast etc.

I'm no Roger Scruton, but I suspect that in reality I'm a bit more towards the + side of Economic left/right than -4.12 !
 
Economic Left/Right: -2.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.23

Interesting!
 
Economic Left/Right: -4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.97

So I'm a card carrying commi, who'd a thunk it? To be honest I reckon not being a white supremacist seems to put people up there with Nelson Mandella or Ghandi by US standards. I'd be wary of the lads ending up on the right hand side of that chart!
 
Economic Left/Right: 2.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.18



Anyone else in my quadrant.
Yep. But a little pinker (slightly surprised) and less authoritarian by a mite. Classic liberal I guess.
 
Economica Left/Right: -2.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.00

Probably true enough as I'd always considered myself a left wing liberal conservative (if that makes sense!!)
 

Exactly! How do I put Capt. Beaky on my ignore list?
 
Economic Left/Right: -1.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.51

I did it twice and got two different answers. Still don't know what it means.
