jrrtoken Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I found a neat thing on the Internets today, the Political Compass. To sum it up, you take a quiz that measures your political spectrum, and they analyze the results to determine where you stand. Topics vary from national security to sexuality. It's a neat timewaster, nonetheless. It turns out that I have the rating of -5.25 in the Economic Left/Right category and a rating of -2.56 in the Social Libertarian/Authoritarian category. Also presented in graph form in glorious Technicolor: As it turns out, I supposedly have pretty equal views with Gandhi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I've seen this quiz before and I took it. I was ranked as a moderate liberal, something I always knew though interestingly enough some of my views are a bit more radical. It's a nice cute little quiz but I personally think that what your politics are don't necessarily fit neatly into a category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Avery Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Mine is usually 2-3 boxes to the left, but can vary between Authoritarian and Libertarian depending on my mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrion Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I forgot the exact measurements, but I was almost a dead center economic moderate with a bit of a libertarian streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Economic Left/Right: -2.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.74 I am always somewhere near the center, usually slightly left in these kind of tests. Mostly because I either don't have a strong opinion about a lot of the topics, or with some I agree with the left answer and others with the right.

Litofsky Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 *shrugs* Right in the middle of the 'Liberal' side of things. Personally, I see myself a little 'higher' on the scale, as opposed to how 'Libertarian' it has me. Different tests, one should note, different results.
