The Political Compass test

[hoover1100]

Hi,

Found this quite cool, the results were pretty much what I expected, but I found it interesting to do nonetheless.

See where you are, this was my result:

[ronhic]

Well that was a little bit of an eyeopener....

[frigilux]

No surprises, here. Frigilux is a bit of a lefty libertarian. Wait 'til I tell Eugene!

 

[sudsmaster]

Pour moi

Moderately left/libertarian

[mattl]

I guess I fit well with this group

My profile matches most posts here, really not surprise...

[panthera]

A-yup,

I'm right in there with the rest, so far.
Interesting, how similar we are.

 

[foraloysius]

Me too...

[mielabor]

My results

 

[panthera]

Ah, but, then

so far only Europeans and those Americans have chimed in who don't believe Faux news is gospel truth.

I wonder if the political conflicts we occasionally encounter amongst ourselves are greatest between any quadrants, or only on a given axis?

 

[deeprinser]

Interesting !

Here goes ...!

Regards.
Louis.

 

[ronhic]

Panthera....

I'm Australian....

 

[panthera]

Of course you are!

Sorry, Ron.

 

[westie2]

[wilkinsservis]

My results surprised me a little

I thought I would be more right wing and more liberterian

Try again

Try again

 

[jeffg]

Hmmm.

 

[frigilux]

That's priceless, Jeff!

 

[toggleswitch2]

Jeebus. I'm just as well-balanced as one can get.....

(EYES ROLL) LOLROFLMAO

 

[toggleswitch2]

Woiuln't it be smashing if we were all to fall in the same quadrant.

 

[dirtybuck]

OK...

here's mine

 

[jasonl]

I took that test a few months ago and I was pretty much in the center.

I guess that's why I don't put an -ist or -ian behind what I think I am (except Christian, and don't diss me for that).

My dishwasher needs a public option.

 

[panthera]

toggles,

Testing out like the rest of us is not necessarily a sign of being a well balanced anything...

 

[hunter]

interesting.

I'm in the middle of the purple square.

Of course, this isn't a surprise to me.
I suppose on this board I'm a deviant -- not
to mention in real life too.

 

[panthera]

Hunter,

I wouldn't be too sure about that.
'Round here, I don't think you otherwise even qualify for a 6σ variation from normal. Consider where, exactly, you are.

Oh, you meant 'deviant' as in 'statistical anomaly".

))

But I like you, there are very few none III Quadrant folks around here, and even fewer who can articulate, cogently, their positions.

 

[frontaloadotmy]

Hunter,

This board is real life.........

 

[gansky1]

Great fun - love the election 04 & 08 examples too.

 

[petek]

OOh I'm cozing up the greg

 

[~sudsshane]

centered.

just about in the middle here

 

[appnut]

I'm more into the blue than Shane.

 

[hunter]

well....

You might be surprised, Panthera, how deviant I actually am, but I was referring to political deviance here (LOL). From what I can see on this board, I'm FAR more "right wing" (in the OLD sense of 'conservatism is the philosophy that says that people should be left alone to live their lives in peace."

In my opinion, BOTH the right and the left have been co-opted by radicalism. IN THEORY I have no issues with (say) providing medical care to everyone but in actuality I shudder at what is going to happen - I have seen NO programs administered by the United States Government that actually are terribly successful. Will we end up with a health system similar to the (American) Indian health system? And what DOES happen to all that private data the (now federalized) health system collects? How will it be used against my best interests? Etc.

I have the interesting experience of once being very leftie and realizing that in my opinion it didn't work.

I also believe that you can only have a stand that you can reason through - otherwise I would be engaging in emotional positions on items that were far too important to be swayed by emotions.
