Political Compass

This test was a popular one in our Politics 101 course.

Might be fun for everyone here on VJ to try it out. Take the survey and post the results of it.

It covers a wide range of economic, political and social issues -- answer the questions honestly.

My political compass --

Economic Left/Right: -4.00

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.82

I've been doing this thing for literally a decade, and my results have gradually drifted from right-wing libertarian to centrist libertarian. I guess that's what you call "growing up".

[sachinky 465]

I think it's funny how it shows a shift in our beliefs and ideology. I've moved a lot more closer to the center than I was when I first took this test four years ago.

What I found very interesting about the results is there's not a single politician in my quadrant. Hmmmmm.

My results =

Economic 3.62

Social -2.10

Here's mine - as expected:

Your political compass

Economic Left/Right: -6.00

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.33

. . a little more left and libertarian leaning than Wacken to place it on the chart.

Me:

Economic Left/Right: -0.88

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.59

That seems about right - centrist to mildly left on economic policy, while fairly laissez faire about social issues (I'd legalize cannabis in a heartbeat if it was up to me....)

I started a thread in NOV '08: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...t&p=2407899

(Today) I landed about where Schumann is on this chart, I forget the exact #s:

Last time (see thread NOV '08) I was 0.25 to the right and -0.51 down....VJ is turning me into a librul!!!

I am a Bartok while hubby is a Beethoven. This was his first time taking it. After looking at the political leaders on the chart he declared the top right quadrant the "muther fukcer corner".

[Dave and Helena 0]

Economic Left/Right: -4.38

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.67

More to the middle than last time I took it, must be all the hours of watching Fox News Dave is putting me through.
