political compass






I should add, since this is a follow up from an apparent misassesment of my politics in another thread by Bantha, feel free to post where you think I fall.

But I stood where I thought I would but not as deep.

Misread and changed purple to green and ended up exactly where I thought I'd be. In the green but very close to the intersection. I know me so well.

the test is strangely silent on gun control.

I noticed that. I did some more reading on the site and I think it's British. That would explain the gun control silence.

But not on astrology, for some reason.

That's okay.. I screwed up with initial self test and should have said green not purple which is exactly where I ended up. Gun stuff might have tipped me over to the purple side but I'm so close to the intersection as to make the matter moot. I didn't think to cut out the actual numbers I scored.. I just liked the pretty colors.

I tried to get through by skipping over certain questions but it would not let me continue.

I dunno.. i took a test like this a couple of years ago (it said i was a left leaning conservative), although i cant say its the same test, there were many obtuse questions on this one so had some questions been worded differently i would have answered much differently

my results for this one-
Economic Left/Right: -1.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.46

You do know the reason, right?

And since your comment inspired this thread, where do you think I am on it?

There were a couple early on that were a bit too broad, but overall I thought the questions were pretty clear cut.

I don't really know you, so I have no clue.

Well, you have expressed admiration for free markets in the past, so I'd assume you'd be in positive numbers along that axis.
