Your Political Compass

About as close to the center as you can get...

Economic Left/Right: -1.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.23

[Skjellyfetti]

Here's mine.
Economic Left/Right: -2.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.08






Most people's prior runs are now lost to the ether.

Thought these were interesting.

Looks like AZ has shifted left since 2018

Shocked/not shocked

I am almost positive we’ve gone through this exercise before, but treep’s unsolicited shot across my bow yesterday about the “dangers of unhinged grandpas like AZ” to society got me thinking....where exactly DO I stand, relative to the rest of humanity? Am I really that much of an outlier? So i took this test and, lo and behold, I’m right where I thought I was. Perfectly centered in my beliefs and more of a socially progressive libertarian. So, in closing: Suck it, treep. YOU are the outlier.



Take your own test at http://www.politicalcompass.org

So far, BDK appears to be the only one on the authoritarian spectrum here.

Yeah, I’m 1/10th of the way there..

[BDKJMU]

So no one has bullseyed the center (one of the center 4 squares)

Nazi!

It is true though...
if there were 3 or 4 gun questions I'd end up in the crazy quadrant

[bluehenbillk]

one block to the left & one block down, almost dead center

My circle touched the first lower left box, and it looks like Flaggy nailed it.

I stand corrected. Maybe you 2 are bigger centrists than GF..

[89Hen]

BTW, wouldn't the fact that Trip blocked me put him automatically on the top line of Authoritarian scale?

I have, mostly on issues like legalization of marijuana and a couple other social issues I can't recall them asking about...Given where you were pegged, you'd think we'd agree a lot more on here than we do.

That tells me you don't understand the chart.

Marijuana legalisation would move you down the chart... not left on the chart. The other social issues likely would as well.

"Right" vs. "left" is economics. According to your chart, you've moved left on "redistributive" vs "free market" economics.

about the 5th time I’ve taken this and for the first time I wound up significantly to the right. The last several times I took it I was closer to the center (slightly right) and much more libertarian

This time, I answered the questions by asking myself if there were foreseeable negative consequences or costs to the implementation of my desires. If the answer was yes, then I went with the softer agree or disagree, which pushed me to the right and just slightly more authoritarian. I didn’t change direction on any answer.

Which goes back to what I was talking about earlier - tests like this and polls typically do not dig deeply enough - I think Americans (myself included) tend to be much more charitable when costs or consequences are not in play

There is a happy medium. Too far right you miss out on all the beer/wine, too far left and you have to be PC.

I was closest to dead center, just 2 notches above it. That kind of surprised me, thought I was more to the right.

well I’m not sure how I answered questions that would have done that.

It's a lot longer, but I personally enjoy this "test" a little more due to the detail:

https://8values.github.io/

Mine:

Overall: Libertarian Socialism

Economic Axis: Socialist, 89.0%

Diplomatic Axis: Internationalist, 78.7%

Civil Axis: Libertarian, 80.4%

Societal Axis: Revolutionary, 94.7%

[JohnStOnge]

Economic Left/Right: 0.0
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.64

You know, I don't think they asked the same questions they asked last time we went through this.

[css75]

Mine was Right wing populism

Economic 67.1 Market
Diplomatic 77.1 Nationalist
Civil 67.3 Authority. ( surprised by this one)
Social 74.8 Traditional

Another interesting test...again, with some poorly worded questions, but here's mine:

Economic Axis: Centrist: 40.9% Equality/59.1% Markets
Diplomatic Axis: Patriotic: 64.9% Nation/35.1% World
Civil Axis: Moderate: 55.4% Liberty/44.6% Authority
Societal Axis: Neutral: 47.0% Tradition/53.0% Progress

Interesting. Centrist. Moderate. Neutral. Trips words are socialist, revolutionary....yet I'M somehow the one who's a danger to the world.
