Political Compass

semi-pro waster · 21-09-2007, 12:37

I was having a discussion with my mate last night about where we think we stand politically speaking roughly, the sort of conversation that stems from a few beers and putting the world to rights. This reminded me of the Political Compass, so I thought since we have a few more members here now it might be interesting to see where we all stand roughly or perhaps more interestingly where you think you stand. According to the test there I am: Economic Left/Right: -5.62, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.69 which puts me a little to the South-West of Ghandi however I can't say I totally agree, generally I feel the state should not interfere with a persons actions as long as you aren't hurting someone else and you are free to do whatever you want provided you can pay for it but the state should support those who cannot support themselves.

How about anyone else?

Mine is:

Economic Left/Right: -3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.77

Which is about where I thought I'd be

I'm down there with Ghandi, Mandela and the Dalai Lama. I have no idea what that all means.

Go south west a tad from the centre of the cross towards Ghandi, turn west for a small distance and that's me.

Here's me...

Economic Left/Right: -2.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.92

Matblack · 21-09-2007, 13:24

Economic Left/Right: -6.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.56

Pretty much on top of the Dalai Lama, I can think of worse people to be like

Pretty close to me

Economic Left/Right: -3.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.26

Though I tend to avoid politics so couldn't really explain it

I can't get through it, got to page 3 and there was too much I don't understand and or couldn't work out. I hate politics.

Give me an engineering or physics questionnaire please
