tntgoodwin Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 http://www.politicalcompass.org/test Take the test, and see where you fit! Like any similar quiz, this is subjective and imperfect. I think it would interesting to see where we all end up! Economic Left/Right: 6.50 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your second score means you lean very far away from fascism (as the ultimate authoritarian model), and more closely to libertarianism in personal freedoms. You are closer to anarchism than to fascism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In practice, they would both be in the upper right quadrant, very near the middle of the graph. More abstractly, I would consider the lower left quadrant to be Democrat, the upper right quadrant to be Republican, and the lower right quadrant to be Libertarian. Hope that helps!

There are no parties "left" or truly "liberal" in the United States, besides maybe the Green Party. As tnt said, Democrats are practically quite conservative in many ways. They're the Republicans of 15 years ago. The Republicans are...somewhere off to the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My results were Economic Left/Right -5.38 and Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -3.85. I think I was near Ghandi also. :001_huh: Not that it surprised me. I didn't think I was that ... liberal, peaceful. I didn't see the Dalai Lama's name...but I guess he would be in there with me, Ghandi, Mandella, and Amy1k! I don't know what it means either, but maybe we're now in the system and they can watch us to see if we're going to have peaceful demonstrations.:D:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, given that the poll questions are a bit skewed, I think, to produce libertarian-leaning results. Although maybe not. I don't know. I do think a number of them are weirdly worded, though.
