One of the most frequently discussed topics on this forum is left vs right. Here is a test for all of you to find out scientifically how you perform on this TEST
Although a little long, it is very interesting and the result may surprise you. I don't know if this has been posted here before, still posting here atleast for the benefit of the new members.
My score:
Economic Left/Right: -2.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.54

Post yours too

ps: Edited to add this: Please read their main http://www.politicalcompass.org/ and FAQs as well

Interesting. Economic Left/Right: -.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 5.85

Economic Left/Right: -0.88 <--- Leftie
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.41 <--- Libertarian I always thought I was Authoritarian!

Anyhow, I'm too near the center anyway.

Ha. I'm a leftist after all This test was definetly interesting, but half the questions could have been taken 5 different ways in different situations, so it's not really accurate. It's fun though.

Economic Left/Right: -2.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.15

Okay Kristen, I think your test results is so screwed up. A leftie and a socialist!

Jeez! I am a commie!!

Economic - 6.63
Social - 6.05

Economic Left/Right: -1.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.31

Here is the graph (get yours by clicking on the "print view", or, replace the #'s in the URL)

Hmm, I've very close to the center, and in the same quadrant as Gandhi, Mandela, and the Dalai Lama.... interestingly, the opposite of George Bush and Tony Blair. Have I been voting for the wrong party all this time?

I'm about as minimally-Left as the new Pope, yet south of the Libertarian line.

Quite a few of these questions are pretty ridiculous.

"Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races."

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

"All people have their rights, but it is better for all of us that different sorts of people should keep to their own kind."

Anyways I got:
Economic Left/Right: 7.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.87

Economic 1.75

Social -3.44

What does that mean?

This means you are in favor of freedom in both economical and social aspects. You are a Libertarian.

I don't need to take a test. Im for communism, It's the best type of goverment if done properly [which it never is], but in theroy if people in power did it right, communism would be the best stance.

So... when are you moving to China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, or Vietnam?

The problem with the communist countries of today are that they arent run properly like a communist goverment is supposed to be run. People are too greedy.

So... when are you moving to China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, or Vietnam? [/b][/quote]You better let him get out of school first.
Then again, working at McDonald, he may be getting a better education on free trade issues.

Economic left/right: -4.63.
Social Libertarian/authoritarian: -5.54.

Anyway I´m not a commie , I dont even like politics :p , but Im liberal in the social aspect so is all cool .

Angie.

I know! After you save up all your capitalist-earned money at McDonald's, go buy Brando's Tahitian island and start your own country! I'm sure a lot of people would love to live in a pure communist state! I know you can do it, after so many others have failed!

Economic Left/Right: -0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 4.46

Agree with Baggins, many of the questions were a tad ridiculous. :p

2.56

Left Authoritarian

Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.26

I am so shocked, Saladbar! (As I'm sure you were by my results ) J/k!

So... when are you moving to China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, or Vietnam? [/b][/quote]Not true communist countries. No LARGE human civilization can be I think.

China? You haven't noticed that in the last few decades (starting in the 80s) the US has been moving lots of military and industrial intelligence to China. And lets not forget that China has been sending its Economics students to the US for years. And the outsourcing alone ... They are planning on becoming the leading economic power in the world. Hardly communist.

oh China..I digress...

Economic Left/Right: 4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 4.77


Although I'm worried I took this test about a couple months ago and the numbers were higher. Oh man don't tell me I'm starting to become a liberal, if so I just might have to whack myself.


I just can't seem to show where I fit on the graph. Oh well I always knew I was stone cold stupid when it came to computers.

Anyway I'm sure my figures will give some estimation as to where I fit.

Economic Left/Right: -1.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.15

Ah, I was lazy and just looked up which countries are considered "communist" today, and those are the ones listed on Wikipedia.

Economic Left/Right: -4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.13

So, I'm a Left Wing Libertarian after all...

Economic Left/Right: 2.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.28

And I've got to totally agree about some of these asanine questions. They're not phrased objectively at all.

By the way, how the hell do you read these scores? Am I liberal or conservative (according to the website)?

Hey, what might be asinine to me might be something you believe in strongly. Of course, that's how people form different political spectrums.

Now about your results, you are conservative on economical issues but liberal on civil and social values. You believe in freedom for both economical and social aspects, thus you are Libertarian.

Ah, I was lazy and just looked up which countries are considered "communist" today, and those are the ones listed on Wikipedia. [/b][/quote]You aren't wrong. They are called that.
