I don't like that test. It has some really stupid questions.
Â
"It is important my child's school instills religious values". What does that have to do with a political test?
Â
"Making peace with the establishment is an important aspect of maturity." Again, what does that have to do with political leanings?
Â
"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?
Â
"First-generation immigrants can never be fully integrated within their new country." Never? Not even one person?
Â
"When you are troubled, it's better not to think about it, but to keep busy with more cheerful things." ??????
Â
"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?
Â
"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Depends on the situation. How can I answer that?
>Religion in schools is usually associated with Conservatives, which leans towards authoritarian. >"Making peace with the establishment" is the opposite of anarchism, which would lean libertarian. >"...democratic system..." being the key element of that phrase. The statement is true otherwise, but that element is what you answer against/in favour of. >Authoritarian/Conservative question. If you think as such, it would shift you towards authoritarian. >I'm not even sure about this one. >Your level of agreement would shift towards authoritarian. >Generally do you accept it? "agree strongly" Only under certain circumstances? "agree" You don't like it but recognize it might be useful for some? "disagree" You abhor the idea? "disagree strongly" It's a poorly worded test, that is for sure. This test is better. It has greater dimensional detail. It is US-poltical based, but gives a better idea of where you fall.

I answered the questions as honestly as I could. I always imagined I was closer to the left.Â
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.
Â
You landed near bush and Santorum.
Jebus213
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.
Â
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.
Â
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. Â
@ 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.LaihendiI'm aware you don't recognize them as a right that exists, that doesn't mean you're correct in that assumption however. Your opinion is your own subjective take on things and as such are not always going to be correct in this sort of thing. Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean they are ignoring you. Just because some dead fiction writer had an opinion doesn't mean it was right and the same goes for what you think. Societies that don't have a right for a man to own all he produces (ie, every single society ever) have worked out quite well and hasn't impacted an individuals right to life in any way. I'm not saying a man shouldn't have anything he produces but he certainly doesn't have the right to all the wealth he produces. In practice even your ideal society wouldn't have such a thing, it would claim to no doubt but in the end it wouldn't be true. You would take away the vast majority of the populations ability to vote and their ability to retain rights given to them by the constitution for your own subjective reasons. It's because of this that I find you to be an authoritarian hiding behind the guise of a libertarian.
Here is mine, some people might be interested

I agree some questions were very odd. And hopefulyl everyone can acknowledge the GS Liberal bias
[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.YoshiYogurtThe 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. What do you think about CEOs how rake in millions while the people who work for them struggle to get by? Is that wealth acquired fairly? Well the owners of the compay thought that this CEO could increase revenue by at least millions of dollars, clearly not so for individual workers. I see nothing wrong with that arrangement. Greg Mankiw in his last essay gave a great thought experiment.Â

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.
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.Â
So you're an extreme right wing nutjob? Got it.Crushmaster

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"
Orkhammer refreshing everyones memories of their fourth grade math class. Ace6301You must have been held back. I did this stuff in third grade.

I got so close.
was close to yours
"Libertarian" = "Read 'Atlas Shrugged' 5 times"

They've defined libertarian differently in this context. Â They separated out social and economic policies. Â "Libertarian" is basically left-wing social views in this test.
You like Ron Paul with a little bit of green party? You're not a big free market guy, but believes in individual responsibility and liberty. You don't mind government regulation if properly applied. You want legalized marijuana and gay marriage. You never cared for wars overseas and you believe in some social safety net? My best guess.Here's mine, what does this mean?

DevilMightCry
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.
The left wants to raise taxes, so I fail to see how that puts me there. CrushmasterThe left wants income equality. I'm more right winged than you.

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"] What about nukes?CrushmasterHave at 'em. I don't care if someone has an Apache, grenades, or, yes, a nuke.
Alright I'm sure you're joking here. But seriously, where do you draw the line?
