Samuel Dravis Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 While I didn't take this test, I have taken the Political Compass test several times in the past. I scored slightly antiauthoritarian and also slightly liberal economically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mur'phon Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Strangely enough I ended up as a socialist, despite being labeled center-right by everyone I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 In the good Political Compass test, I'm a slightly leftist economist, falling about halfway on the Libertarian side, which puts me fairly close to Gandhi. I respect the PC test more, as OKCupid's test seems to be built with an American in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Tried the first test, but I didn't think it was terribly accurate. I did however propose and post a new law on the comments page requiring mandatory state-sponsored worship of Samuel Dravis and myself (upon pain of death!) so that made taking it worth it. The Political Compass said I was liberal economically and very libertarian socially. Not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMasterJambi Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 On the compass text I got: Your political compass Economic Left/Right: -4.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.28 AKA: Green Area, 3 down, 5 over. Bottom line of that box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aash Li Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I think the political compass test on the Libertarian site is more accurate than the one on Okcupid... >.> I dont have the results anymore but it said I was mostly Libertarian with a tiny bit of Conservative. ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavlos Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 The Political Compass said I was liberal economically and very libertarian socially. Not surprised. I don't understand. How can you be economically liberal when you're very clearly a member of the dying breed, the centre-left? Economically liberal would mean neo-liberalism, wouldn't it? That's patently not a left-wing policy. Perhaps the terms mean something else across the pond. Anyway, I'm a liberal lefty (-5 economically and -7 socially - rounded values). Social Democracy for the win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentScope001 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I think this poll is biased. When even I get a Social Liberal/Economic Conservative and be declared Libertarian (73e/63s)....this test is out of whack. Usually, the tests tell me I'm a Social Conservative/Economic Liberal (in other words, Totalitaran). I'm going to retake that test, and retake other tests. EDIT: Now I am a Social Moderate (56% permissive) and an... Economic Conservative (73% permissive) I am best described as a: Capitalist (73e/56s). A little better, closer to what I feel I am, but still...er...only halfway there. This is upsetting. Rather upsetting. I mean, all this time, I billed myself as a Radical. Now, I'm just pivioting around the "centrist" circle.... EDIT2: Ooh. Ooh! I finally regained my mojo by taking another test! Economic Left/Right: 4.62 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.18 Personal view therefore is still pretty Totalitaran. I'm thinking that maybe I am more moderate in real life because I realize limiations, but in personal life, where nobody can hear me, I'm quite Totalitaran. And when I get upset about a test result, I begin answering questions more radically, hence getting me this result. Or it could be the test itself...this test also deals with homosexuality, a touchy subject for some... Another thing is that it phrases sentences differently: The first test says, "The government should intervene to help struggling artists" and the other tests says, "The government shouldn't help artists who can't get their work to sell". Could both tests be biased? Ironically, in the long term, I am arguing over semantics, as in the end, the actual dots on the map is still pretty close together, crossing artibrary boundary lines. Anyway, try this test out and compare results if you got time: http://www.politicalcompass.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 In the good Political Compass test, I'm a slightly leftist economist, falling about halfway on the Libertarian side, which puts me fairly close to Gandhi.

SilentScope001 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Totalitarian eh? That's probably a bad thing =/ Maybe, but as long as someone suggests a more prettier name to the ideology, I see it as the combination of the best parts of liberalism and conservativism. After all, society has to be economically fair (economically liberal), but it must also follows morals as well. Therefore, the government should intervene in order to create a perfect society. The problem is, coming up with a good name for that....hm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Devon Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I don't understand. How can you be economically liberal when you're very clearly a member of the dying breed, the centre-left? Well, the test (rather like the D&D one actually) assumes you're completely consistent in your beliefs or that opposing views when added up average out. I have a strange mix of mostly progressive and a few Objectivist views on economics. For the most part they don't mesh terribly well. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Dravis Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 No problem Achilles. Instead of relying on fairly old results, I decided to take it again today. I'm rather more radical on the social freedom scale but economically pretty much the same. It is somewhat interesting how no one in the presidential race even comes close to agreeing with me.

True_Avery Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I tried to take them, but had too much trouble with answering the questions to get a good result I agreed with. Besides, I don't really like being labeled anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobQel-Droma Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Well, on the first test I got (if it actually means anything)....

Economic Conservative (60% permissive) You are best described as a: Centrist (60e/35s) You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness. For the other test, I got: The Political Compass Economic Left/Right: -0.62 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.46 Fun tests, but who's to say if they actually truly represent someone.
