If you’ve never taken the ‘Political Compass’ exam, you might be surprised to learn a few things about yourself and where you stand, politically. I, of course, am to the RIGHT of Mrs. Thatcher, but I haven’t taken this in about 10 years, so it will be interesting to see where I’m at these days.

Probably to the RIGHT Of Attila the Hun, the way I’ve been feeling these days! ;)

Puffery from an over-expanded, distended mind. The gist of it is that we can change our views? Do we need this mental fitness guru to tell us that? And with this well-ventilated, super-oxygenated mind he still isn’t firmly left or right. How very special.

The middle ground is for those who don’t know much or care.

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

This is not a valid test, as it forces the test taker to accept certain premises that he does not hold. It is also loaded, as "serving humanity" means different things to different people. There are better political tests.

Not that useful or insightful of a read.

The Left politics the way they do so that you CANNOT change your view.

When you have killed the baby in your womb, you will never leave the party that says you have not sinned.

The party of cheating, thuggish unionists cheats and bullies in a all things. The fact that Democrats “won” through cheating is a badge of honor to them.

Reason is turned off, making it impossible to change your view.

Not if you stay asleep of course, but those that wake up and see the light they can change their view and most likely do.

Wanna bet there are Freepers who were former democrat who have become conservatives?

Well said. “Far right” is now believing in marriage between a man and a woman only or that anyone should be permitted to use any bathroom they like. People like this author are undecided on these things because they think they are “in the middle.”

When someone feels the need to provide their make believe “credentials”, unasked, beware of a delicate ego.

(Lookin at you, DOCTOR Ben Rhodes and DOCTOR Jill Biden).

It’s one thing to list your degrees (anything above the Bachelor’s level) in a sig or byline. Fair enough. But, hours on the clock? Just no. People will laugh at you.

It would be helpful if he identified all of these texts he claims to have “studied”, as opposed to “read”.

Few things in life are less useful that a self-important popinjay who pursues a few psychology books.

They ask the same question a number of ways.

However, links, Please? I’ll try what you recommend, too.

In this Brave New world, it would be beneficial to learn to pretend to have the “correct” point of view.

Oh there definitely are.

We have RecoveringEx-Hippie, and another guy whose name implies ex-liberal.

I myself got dangerously close as a teen/young adult but never considered myself so.

Reagan was a Dem and Trump has gone back and forth.

Must be written by some foreigner. In English it uses “s” instead of “z”.

Of course there are the ends of the bell curve.

But, to focus on 1% and claim that that invalidates the 99% is foolish.

I maintain that one of the hallmarks of Leftism is the disabling of independent thought. Positions like support of abortion, sodomy, unionism, and racism are “mental bootcamp” which traumatize followers into a state of mind which they will find nearly impossible to later reject.

I have always described myself as ‘just a bit to the right of Attila the Hun’. Welcome.

Correct.

“Serving humanity” is now codespeak for controlling humanity.

When you see any “leader” constantly talk about the “common good” for humanity be very wary because it often hides an “America last” mentality by those promoting globalism.
