take the political compass test

Some of the questions sound a little ... less than neutral, but in general I think this is a pretty fair test.

http://www.politicalcompass.org/

Save the results, rehost them, and post them here.

Here's mine:

Null,

Do a little searching (try Google with \"site:descentbb.net\", the one here is broken).

Nearly everyone here has posted their results from that test at one time or another.

I've been searching Google with various keywords since just after you made that post and I've yet to find a thread with a single result. I'll keep looking, though. If I find it, I'll just bump that thread.

Hmm... I know I've seen at least two threads full of politicalcompass results. I can't seem to find them, either.

Since the last clean out a lot of things have gone missing.

Can we hire whoever did that cleaning to do a little job in Washington DC, there are some 'things' that need to go missing up there....

I had to take this test for AP Government last year.

Well, I still can't find it, so... maybe this is the new thread now.

Soo... it was done without oversight, without notification, and in a fiscally responsible manner?

85 to 90% of these questions there shouldn't even be multiple options. I am appalled at them. The fact that they would even be asked is laughable. =P Also, several questions that were related to what was asked were omitted.

I just want to see some examples, because I'm curious.

While everyones busy arguing over where the previous post is, I decided to take the test.

Xam is just about as liberal as he is libertarian, which is less than half as allowed by this scale. I'm more libertarian than I am liberal. Technically I would be called a "libertarian socialist" in the ideal case, though within the realities of the United States political system I'm closer to a minarchist (except when it comes to education and corporate regulation).

oh dear :P

If economic globalization is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

Why should this be questioned? x_x

I'd agree the questions do seem rather slanted, ecspecially the buisness ones, towards the upper left.

CUDA · Post by **CUDA** » Fri Aug 06, 2010 12:00 pm

this is my results from the last time this was posted. it shows I'm dead center

and there is NO WAY Obama is to the right of me on ANY topic. so I call BS on who ever posted those Politicians results

there were quite a few catch-22 questions on there, and still no option for 'undecided'. Much as I'd like to post my results, I would have to say it's fairly inaccurate for where I stand.

Neo · Post by **Neo** » Sat Aug 07, 2010 9:43 am

It would be nice if they provided the exact coordinates for each of those celebrities they have on that page. :/

It lacks an "undecided" option by design. You're supposed to have an opinion for them to measure.

Mine was very similar to Stroodles - lower right, libertarian-conservative. Socially, I'm a mix of old-school Christian Humanism and Enlightenment values, and tend to affirm things like free markets and traditional gender roles, counterbalanced by my emphasis on things like personal freedom, artistic creativity, and the like that liberals tend to advocate.

Score:

Economic Left/Right: 4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.79
Just about 3 squares below Stroodles. I'm a libertarian-capitalist, or capitalist-libertarian if you prefer.

Thoughts:

There were a few questions that needed an \"I don't know enough to answer this\" button, like whether multinational corporations are unethically exploiting the genetic plant resources of other countries. I don't follow the genetic plant resource related activities of multinational corporations close enough to have a clue.

Some questions need an \"I agree in some ways and disagree in others\" button, like \"the businessman and manufacturer are more important than the writer and the artist\" (true in some ways, false in others.)

Will Robinson · Post by **Will Robinson** » Sun Aug 08, 2010 11:37 am

That test is more like Which stereotype of ours do you fit into best?.
I was near center but just down into the lower left box for whatever that's worth.

well that's the problem. I do have an opinion of them, but it doesn't line up with 'agree' or 'disagree'

Embarrased cuda? dude, have you been drinking or something?
