I'm center green. I basically believe government should do a minimal amount to protect general welfare and prevent entities(corporations/unions/lobbyists/etc) from having too much power and otherwise stay the hell out of everyone's way.

I'm near Gandhi.  [:)]

Guess I’m a closet libtard. Seems economically I’m moderately left-wing but socially centrist according to the political compass being -3.38 on the Economic Left/Right scale and -0.77 on the Social Libertarian/Authoritarian scale. I reckon I would be more centrist if the scale was Eurocentric. Good test Willbe with interesting questions but some of the questions seem a little black and white.

Sorry...I couldn't get past the first slanted question...If I sell goods internationally and perhaps produce products in multiple nations how am I not serving mankind? I am providing goods and employment what the hell else do you want... So the ratings are bull and not worth taking.

Winterapple -> RE: Where do you stand on the political compass (12/5/2011 8:52:19 PM)

Economic Left/Right-3.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian-5.33
A couple of squares closer to the purple
than I would have thought or guessed.
I think of myself as basically and
economically a New Deal Democrat
(big D Democrat).
On social issues I'm against the death
penalty in all cases, pro gay marriage
and adoption, pro choice and believe in
universal health care and health care as
a basic human right.
Some of the questions cannot in my
opinion be answered as agree or disagree.
I don't know should be option.
Along with "In theory yes", "In some
cases" and "What the hell does that
have to do with anything?"

Was a silly test. This question for example:

quote:

Those with the ability to pay should have the right to higher standards of medical care.


I don't know how they scored this, but I put agree because I believe that in countries with public health care, there should always be the option to purchase private health care as well. But someone who was fully against public health care would also put 'agree' so where would the difference be?


Not silly at all. I guarantee you there are people on this board who would say no, everybody has the right to the same standards of medical care regardless of ability to pay.


So the people who don't have the ability to pay should just crawl away and die somewhere?

Here's mine. Out of interest, where did it place you?

That's where I am.



kdsub -> RE: Where do you stand on the political compass (12/5/2011 9:30:53 PM)


Ok..at first I thought, and still think, the questions are stated in an obvious liberal sided context...But...I have noticed that despite the poor wording the results seem to match the people taking the test...sooo I worked through it and found it does match my overall feelings...I think... So I was wrong again I guess.

My result:

TheHeretic -> RE: Where do you stand on the political compass (12/5/2011 10:53:33 PM)

I'd expect to be a right leaning libertarian, same as every other time I' ve taken the thing. Unfortunately, it has no bearing in the realpoltik world where we cast our votes



tazzygirl -> RE: Where do you stand on the political compass (12/5/2011 10:57:06 PM)

Very true. It doesnt dig deep... too superficial to really determine.



gungadin09 -> RE: Where do you stand on the political compass (12/5/2011 11:53:19 PM)

Economic Left/Right: -2.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.51

Similar position as the Dalai Lama.

pam

ETA: i would have answered some of the questions differently if they had been worded slightly differently.  i suspect i'm more to the left than the test shows.



tweakabelle -> RE: Where do you stand on the political compass (12/6/2011 12:43:42 AM)

This is my score ... it seems quite a popular spot:

Economic Left/Right: -8.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.28



calamitysandra -> RE: Where do you stand on the political compass (12/6/2011 2:12:32 AM)

Economic: -5,62
Social: -6,97

More or less where I thought I would be and have been the other times I took the test.



BoxwineForBrunch -> RE: Where do you stand on the political compass (12/6/2011 3:45:10 AM)

far left libertarian (-9.00, -8.00) way down in the green. pretty much what i expected



thishereboi -> RE: Where do you stand on the political compass (12/6/2011 4:20:01 AM)

Well this is what it came up with...

Economic Left/Right: -2.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.05
Not sure what it means but I ended up in the same square as Gandhi, so that has to be good, right?

I considered my experience with healthcare through the Veteran's Administration.

In Florida, there was a 6 months wait for the acupuncturist. Not wanting to wait that long, I saw one privately and paid for her myself. I could have managed the pain via medication, but I prefer acupuncture.

If the GYN up here in MA is as horrid as the one in FL, I'm going to see one outside the VA system.

The VA is adequate - I want higher.



Marc2b -> RE: Where do you stand on the political compass (12/6/2011 8:36:19 AM)

I have had limited success in upoloading images but I'll give it another try.

Anyway, I do have issue with some of the questions. For example the question about one party systems being more efficient. I agree that they tend to get things done more qucikly... but that doesn't mean I agree that that is a good thing. So I think I should probably be a little lower on the authortarian scale.

[image]local://upfiles/314707/3894FC57837F463CB2FDE5ED83EEEDDB.jpg[/image]

ETA: Actually I think I should be a lot lower in on the authortarian scale. I am a very anti-authortarian fella... except when I'm the authority, then I'm all like "KNEEL BITCH, OR FEEL THE WRATH OF MY WHIP!" [:)]

ETA: I should probably be a little further left on the economic scale. I don't have a problem with common sense regulation of business (eg thou shalt not build thy toxic waste dump next to the elementary school) but a lot of what passes for regulation is really nothing more than political favortism in disguise.
