Hitler was not a right winger. Did you know that?

Take the test and see where you come out....

Political Compass

[The Raven]

I was

Economic Right: 4.25
Libertarian: 2.10

Or as they put it

Economic Left/Right: 4.25
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -2.10

[Drammach]

Economic Left/Right: -1.50

Authoritarian/Libertarian: -2.97

I don't consider this very accurate. Many of the questions / answers are limited in their description of the "problem", and/or are limited in their response.
I was forced to either agree or disagree with a very basic statement of opinion that often did not accurately represent the complexities of the issue.

I took this same "test" a couple of years ago. ( Or one very similar ) I have moved to the left a bit, according to this evaluation. ( I believe I was considered a "moderate" conservative in that one. )

There were no questions on gun issues, and an entire section could be devoted just to the constitution.

All in all though, interesting little questionare.

[borisbob69]

Very Interesting...I was

Economic Left/Right: 1.00 Authoritarian/Libertarian: -0.77

Always thought I was more opinionated than that...lol

[DB]

Yes, there were a number of "always" type questions. To many of the statements there are exceptions so I could not say "always" even though I leaned that way...

[xm177e2]

I was just a little bit to the left of Milton Friedman.

[Michael Barnes]

Economic Left/Right: 4.88
Authoritarian/Libertarian: 0.62

Umm..is this good or bad?

[Jethro Tull]

Are you Libertarian 'Open Borders'?

[Cuttnhorse]

Interesting...I was 4 to the right and -2 libertarian...just where everyone should be!!!

[grania]

The first question started "If globalism is inevitable..." I left the survey at that point, since I really believe that if globalism is inevitable our national identity would no longer exist.

Would I want government or corporations to run this brave new world? That's like asking kids if they'd prefer brocolli or spinach...it just feels like a choice to really dumb kids!

[BillyRayR]

bump for later

[#3Fan]

It's not very accurate. I was -.88 to the left and +.36 to the Authoritarian. That's weird, I've always considered Stalin the greatest criminal of the 20th century. LOL The questions aren't worded very well.

[cuz_it_aint_their_money]

Economic Left/Right: 6.75
Authoritarian/Libertarian: 4.25
I.E. Authoritarian-Right

Right up there with Maggie Thatcher. (I always liked that woman; Now I know why.)

[johnny7]

I'm like Hitler. Close to Maggie Thatcher and uncle Joe Stalin.

It's pretty much on the mark. I don't complain... I spoke my mind.

When I get voted into office... sit down and let me dismiss you. It will make my day.

[moodymare]

I was economic Right 4.0 and Libertarian .42. I didn't particularly like the way the questions were worded.

[Slim Pickens]

Economic Right: 3.5

Auth/Lib: .05

I'm comfortable with who I am;^)

[Just another Joe]

I guess I am "Just another Joe"

Economic Left/Right: 0.88
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -1.28

That puts me just to the right and just below the center point of the graph.

[TennesseeProfessor]

Economic: 2.63
Authoritarian: -1.18

I agree that a lot of the questions were vague. And the survey was missing a "neutral" setting. For example, one of the questions about education was "Schools should spend less time on art and more time on job training" ---- how about "Schools should spend less time on political indoctrination and more time on math & science"????

[johnboy]

Economic Left/Right: 2.50

Authoritarian/Libertarian: 0.00

person closest to me on their charts? tony blair in 1997. IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

[Eaker]

Economic Left/Right: 4.25
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -0.36

Good or bad??

Eaker

[Always Right]

Economic Left/Right: 4.25
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -0.92

The results are about as meaningful as the cost of the test. Atleast it put me closest to ole Milton.
