Socrates Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Your political compass Economic Left/Right: 4.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.31 While everyone thinks I'm an evil extremist ultra-conservative right wingnut, this test shows me to be rather a bland centrist. I've taken this test before, and was never much impressed with it. The wording of the questions definitely shows a left-leaning bias. (After all, this test was made by Brits.) Many of the questions are worded in such a way as to skew answers to the left; I'm often forced to choose between a nice-sounding "lefty" answer, and a bad strawman caricature of a "conservative" position, neither of which reflects my real position. It's a shame the questions weren't written by anarchists. Or at least people who apprehended anarchy. The only question about monopoly seems to believe that monopolies arise without government involvement. The presumption seems to be that government protects us from monopolies. I find that hilarious. Agreed. Or if the questions were written by Evil Conservatives, for that matter. I think such questions will always tend to reflect the ideological biases of those writing the test. Also, given all the debate lately, I find it interesting that there were no questions concerning guns. Edited April 17, 2013 by Socrates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apotheoun Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Your political compass Economic Left/Right: 4.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.31 While everyone thinks I'm an evil extremist ultra-conservative right wingnut, this test shows me to be rather a bland centrist. It does appear that the "test" gives greater weight to economic issues even in the social sphere, because I said that I strongly oppose abortion and "gay marriage," etc., and I only barely registered in the Authoritarian category.
