Political Compass II

[Azale]

I, too, would be willing to make a new chart if we started a new thread. This one would just be a headache to go through...

Make it happen!

For people new to the test:

The Test

It has many many many imperfections, but it is probably the best one of its kind floating around.

If you have a specific question about the test, it is likely to be answered here:

FAQ


So please, take the test, post your results, and talk about your politics!

 

[madviking]

+7, -6.97

But approaching apathy at this point.

 

[Ajidica]

Economic Left/Right: -6.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.69

[civver_764]

Let's do this:

Economic Left/Right: -8.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.23

 

[GenMarshall]

Wait, did the older thread reach the magical 1000th post?

 

[Integral]

@Ajidica: That would make my life easier. To make my life even easier, consider adding a separation character (could be anything, like a comma or forward slash or something) so that I can get the raw data into Excel/Stata more quickly.

something like this
person1 / econ / soc
person2 / econ / soc
etc.

My score, carried forward from the last thread:
Economic Left/Right: 5.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.67

 

[Ajidica]

Sure. Its up. If I could better format it for excel let me know.

 

[Integral]

Forward slashes work great. It's just a matter of copy&paste, text to columns by /, and then everything's set.

Politics!
For what it's designed to do, I'd say that the PC, despite its flaws, does a pretty good job. It could be better, of course (no questions on foreign policy?), but on the whole it works most of the time for most people.

 

[Azale]

Wait, did the older thread reach the magical 1000th post?

Nah, but Integral said he wanted to do a CFC compass when the next thread was opened. I think the last one pretty much ran its course.

For Ajidica's use:

Azale / -8.38 / -5.85

 

[Bobbtjoe]

 

[GenMarshall]

May as well retake the test. God knows how much has changed since I last took it YEARS ago:

Economic Left/Right: 1.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.79

 

[azzaman333]

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -0.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.31

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Wild Cheezys can be found at (-8.75, -5.15).

 

[kulade]

The correct answer is: (4.62, -4.36).

 

[Earthling]

I'll take the test again because of the new thread so generously started, and not try to avoid/cheat the poor questions to push the score towards what I want/expect, even though there are several poor questions. So probably more authoritarian or something since the last time I reported due to those questions like "advantages of a one-party state" or "superior race" and so on that are just poor.

Economic Left/Right: -7.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44

 

[Bootstoots]

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.62

Took an education at a left-wing college to turn me into a libertarian. Used to be around -6, -6 back in the day; now I've moved right 10 points.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

-8.75, -5.49

 

[Cutlass]

The Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.54

 

[civver_764]

-8.75, -5.49

Wild Cheezys can be found at (-8.75, -5.15).

*high-five*

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Apparentely -8.75 is the place to be
