The political compass is an alternative to the traditional left to right political scale in that it differentiates between economic and social issues.  If you take the test and post your results, I'll add your name to the HAF chart.  I'm just curious to see what the political views of people on this forum are.

wow.  I figured I'd end up almost exactly in the middle. Not so much. -3.25,-5.69.  I'm a left leaning libertarian type I guess.

I get the feeling this isn't necessarily the best way of discovering one's political beliefs. Not only that, but labeling one's self tends to make one follow the expectations of being labeled as such. Just try to be fair, informed, and good. However that manifests is what you are.
I want bad people to look forward to and celebrate the day I die, because if they don't, I'm not living up to my potential.

I have a chart I did before, not the numbers, it looks like.
-7.8 -5.2

So what about a Kalashnikov for the leftiest and a nice pair of black steel cap boots for the rightiest?

What is "/b/"? I see that, um ... 'term' (?), used a lot.

Not really worth doing this for me as I pick and mix so many things and regularly change my mind based on how things change. But I would probably wander about the bottom left quadrant.

I didn't find this graph very accurate.

Some of the option I didn't agree or disagree, I was in the middle.

but heres my results.

On that graph, I'm bottom-slightly-left.

Haha.  I actually thought the test was rigged.  I don't even see how an atheist could get the score you got SSY.  I know some straight up Christian Right Wing US republicans that would likely end up in the green quadrant...or close to it.

edit: I took it again entering all the answers I think that a Right Wing US Christian would, and I ended up almost exactly in the middle.  I'm no goddamn hippie.  I know because my hippie friends tell me so all the time.  The test is garbage imo.  There isn't even a "no opinion" option for the questions.

Obvious test is obvious.

Too many easily answered questions, IMHO.

Here's my anti-Joe take on it (I answered all questions opposite, and "Strongly Agree" or "Strongly Disagree")

Economic Left/Right: 8.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 7.79

Me?

I'm not me today ;-)
