Where are you on the [Political Compass] scale? Take the quiz.

Please post your results, Dave.Laihendi

I don't like that test. It has some really stupid questions.

"It is important my child's school instills religious values". What does that have to do with a political test?

"Making peace with the establishment is an important aspect of maturity." Again, what does that have to do with political leanings?

"A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system." That's true... it would be an advantage. But that doesn't mean I agree with a one party state. So how do I answer that?

"First-generation immigrants can never be fully integrated within their new country." Never? Not even one person?

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

"The most important thing for children to learn is to accept discipline." Again... MOST important? Do I have to rank things in my head and come to the conclusion that discipline is the MOST important?

"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Depends on the situation. How can I answer that?

Yay centrism and moderation.

I got so close.

I answered the questions as honestly as I could. I always imagined I was closer to the left. 

Crunchy_Nuts

this is about where i am.

these quizes are never that accurate, tho.

they constantly have to tweak them

and the political spectrum itself shifts quite a bit with each decade or so.

eeewwwwww...

that is a rock and a hard place i do not want to be in between

ive done these so so many times. lemme just save some time.

Generally speaking my coordinates are (-3, 2) or (-3, -3) I bounce between authoritarian and libertarian, but i'm always on the left side near the middle.

whenever i've done this test - and i've done it a few times for years now, i end up at just at that range every time.  

@ Ace - You are once again failing to understand the difference advocating the removal of rights and not recognizing a right as exist anyways. You are literally ignoring my rebuttal and just rewording your original statement. Anyways, wealth is the product of individual labour and it is a necessity to sustain life. To say that a man does not have a right to the product of his own labour is to say that a man does not have a right to sustain his own life - that he does not have a right to live. The concept of man not havin a right to live is in no way beneficial to the individuals that constitute humanity.Laihendi

Here is mine, some people might be interested

I agree some questions were very odd. And hopefulyl everyone can acknowledge the GS Liberal bias

I expect to be in the lower right quadrant as per usual, but I'll take it tomorrow anyway.

[QUOTE="Laihendi"][QUOTE="Ace6301"] Libertarian on this is mostly individual rights and the left/right more about economics. US libertarians have unfortunately made a joke out of it.YoshiYogurt

[QUOTE="YoshiYogurt"][QUOTE="Laihendi"] The right to the wealth you produce is an individual right. A left-libertarian possesses contradictory values. A right-authoritarian does as well. Also, in reference to your other post - I respect rights that exist. Voting is a privilege, not a right. Voting necessitates candidates and some man-made political system. Anything necessitating human labour cannot be a right. Aljosa, I can only assume that you do not understand what libertarian and authoritarian means. Authoritarianism is the ideology of fascists and communists. If you think a social system defined by a dictator ruling with fear, guns, and goons is a good thing then you have serious problems to work out.radicalcentrist

You do realize that you can post whatever you feel like, simply by viewing the image, and changing the values in the address bar, right?

The first value changes the x-axis, the second changes the y-axis.

Easy as hell.

A lot of the questions were not straight forward and required more than an agree or disagree to respond to. Also, I feel that there was way too much emphasis on social policies and not enough on economic policies.

Basically what I thought it woul bde......

I hate it on these quizzes when none of the answers fit me - hence why you won't be getting a result from me (thanks, abortion question). But as a little nugget: I am against all restrictions on weapons of any type, against a different tax-rate for different people, against all but sales tax (and it should be no higher than 10%), think public schools should not exist, believe abortion should be illegal in all circumstances, against same-sex marriage being recognized, etc., etc. So, basically, fully rightwing.

So you're an extreme right wing nutjob? Got it.Toxic-Seahorse

In this test's paradigm, you'd fall on the left of center. Your economic ideals are not conservative, merely your social ideals. So you would fall somewhere in the upper left quadrant.foxhound_fox

What about nukes?chessmaster1989

Seems accurate.

 think public schools should not exist

wat? how could you ruin the imagination of our children?!

Surprised, I am not.

If I were really motivated, I'd dig out the code for the image and change the top and bottom to reflect reality:

"Libertarian" = "Read 'Atlas Shrugged' 5 times"

"Authoritarian" = "Faps to Stalin's picture"

"Authoritarian" = "Faps to Stalin's picture"OrkHammer007

was close to yours

"Libertarian" = "Read 'Atlas Shrugged' 5 times"

OrkHammer007

They've defined libertarian differently in this context.  They separated out social and economic policies.  "Libertarian" is basically left-wing social views in this test.

No surprise really.

I have no idea who Ron Paul is and I'm not interested in politics whatsoever, I just know he's the guy who Lai's humping :P

I don't have a problem with the free market, but the rest is more or less correct.
