Political Compass Tests

[graciesings]

This is something I was really interested in before my birthday, I think I showed it to a few of you.

but I was fascinated by these map-your-political-views tests.

This one feels less accurate to me, but it is better tailored to a global scale:
The Political Compass - Test

I also like the Nolan chart, but most of the surveys for it (especially the first link) are very tailored to US issues:
Survey - Nolan Chart

So... post your results and I'll post mine when I get a chance.

Very well.

Political Compass: Economic Left/Right: 4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.00

I've taken the PC test probably once a year for the past 10-12 years and generally I go from about 0, -3 to 4, -4. Basically, I'm always somewhere in the lower right quadrant.

Your answers suggest that you are a centrist. The yellow star shows generally where you fall within the centrist region of the Nolan Chart.

The Nolan Chart quite nearly puts everyone as libertarian. Maybe my statist side comes out at night.

 

[Zach91]

Libertarian: 65% Social. 85% Economic.

This makes sense as I am a Libertarian/Republican hybrid.

 

[Nom De Guerre]

I'm a Social Republican, only once has this form of Political regime been implemented; but it has been the basis of my Political beliefs for quite some time.

 

[High Fidelity]

Economic Left/Right: -7.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.31

 

[Gnarwhal]

Tywin and I could be bros...

Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.87

Apparently I line up with Gandhi... I accept this.

 

[High Fidelity]

You're getting there, brother

I wonder how different my results would be had they included the Neutral option I kept looking for.

[Cute Tink]

Almost perfectly center toward libertarian. Not surprised at all.

Second test put me as libertarian but a little more left leaning.

I participated in a Gallop poll yesterday over the phone, and I asked for that option a couple times as well. Especially when they asked about the economy and whether it was getting better or worse - for me personally I don't see it as having changed much over the past few years.

 

[Guy Incognito]

According to an in depth online test I took for the last Ontario provincial election, I was: 54% New Democrat, 50% Progressive Conservative, and 42% Liberal

On the Nolan scale I'm centrist

In another quiz, I was Liberal.

So...yeah...

 

[graciesings]

Hmmm, interesting.

A month ago:
Economic Left/Right: 5.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.21

This afternoon:

Economic Left/Right: 7.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.13
(that's a space lower and two spaces to the right, almost the same exact place as Milton Friedman)

What's the difference? No, I haven't changed my mind on anything big, although I have gone back and forth about some issues. I'm pretty sure that most of the difference comes from me answering differently on the questions where I don't care and just click an option lol.

 

[graciesings]

And on the Nolan scale I am top-of-the-diamond Libertarian, though some tests put me slightly to the right and some don't.

 

[MarkSB]

Centrist with conservative leanings on the Nolan chart.

 

[William67]

Economic Left/Right: 7.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.36

 

[Waddler]

I'm a Libertarian according the Nolan chart.

Looks like you got some right answers!

I'm very much a "make your bed and lay in it" kind of person. You should have the freedom to do whatever you want. You want to break into someone's house? Fine, but don't be surprised when they come down the stairs in their bathrobe with an RPG.

More seriously, I believe humanity should not be hindered in what they say, think, or do. Yes, that opens the doors for people to be very hateful, but it also opens the doors for people with kind hearts to do what they will, without fear of oppression.

That having been said, it is also within my conscience to submit to my government. I take issue with their violation of freedoms, but the way to fight that is in the legal system, until our government begins violating human rights to the degree that the legal system no longer works to change anything.

I agree with everything in that post. ^

Two things I have been going back and forth on are free trade and abortion... I do not fully understand what the deal is with international trade, so my answers on those questions are usually different every time I take a political quiz. the other issue I am deciding and undeciding is whether abortion should be legal. I definitely believe that it's wrong - it's murder. But does the government have the right to restrict people by making it illegal? I don't know.
