Basilisa Marie Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 So I'm probably asking for trouble, but I thought it'd be fun to see where everyone fits on the political compass quiz. :) I'll put everyone on a chart so we can compare. It'll be fun! Right? http://www.politicalcompass.org/test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 So I'm probably asking for trouble, but I thought it'd be fun to see where everyone fits on the political compass quiz. :) I'll put everyone on a chart so we can compare. It'll be fun! Right? http://www.politicalcompass.org/test I'm doing the test now. I sure wish some of the questions were more clear and weren't so confusing (Which I can't help but think is probably on purpose). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisa Marie Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yeah, I think they try to do a decent job of having some statements that lean one way and others another, in hopes of being more neutral overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yeah, I think they try to do a decent job of having some statements that lean one way and others another, in hopes of being more neutral overall. It really asks weird questions, though, and they are way too generic. For instance, the question on whether or not we should restrict businesses because they cannot be trusted to protect the environment, my question is, on what level? The Federal level? Under no circumstance. But what about the State level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisa Marie Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Haha, they're intentionally vague like that. You have to go with whether you agree or disagree more with that statement. :) The things I felt strongly about I made sure to indicate, so as to help when I came to a tossup question.

Basilisa Marie Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Oh, I got a (-5,-4) because I'm a dirty libertarian socialist. :hehe2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spem in alium Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Interesting test. This is my result, which is fairly amusing to me as I usually align myself with Liberal right-wing policies :) Economic Left/Right: -4.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 The outcome was not completely accurate because the questions were weird, but I am a "Get off my property" wielding libertarian with apparently some leftist tendencies on social issues, though that is because it wouldn't make proper distinctions which are important to make. In all, the testing format is pretty much a big failure, and they should make the questions easier, more distinct, and the results easier to understand.

Basilisa Marie Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 All righty, so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 All righty, so far... When it comes to my political views, I like to describe as the merging of (Most of) Ron Paul's economic views and (Most of) Bono's social views. "Most of" meaning I agree with his humanitarian work, but I think the government should have no part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amppax Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I'm just not very controversial. 1.00, -.62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
