Stumbled upon this again, whilst procrastinating during the writing of my major essay for PolSci.


A bit closer down that usual...uni is taking its toll.

Don't see any reason why the link should go through Facebook. Fixed - Karajorama

Move your dot about a square each up and to the right. That's my apparent alignment.

About the same as last time.  Herp.

I'm the Ghandi-Mendela-Lama.



I find myself drifting left lately, which is hilarious because apparently I vote for my complete opposite in Canadian elections.  Just goes to show how this doesn't take everything into account =)

[SypheDMar]

Holy hell. I got so far left since I last remembered!




This is my girlfriend's

Hrmm, even more socially libertarian in my old age...

[Nuke]

my political views are so absurd it would take a 7 dimentional compass to graph them out.

[stinkyFeet]

I got about the same as everybody else, but honestly, I couldn't imagine answering the questions in any way other than what I did.

"I'd always support my country, whether it was right or wrong." Considering the definition of wrong, the answer has to be disagree.

[Flaser]

I was initially surprised how far down it put me, when I can't stand libertarian dogma... then I realized, most of the question were related to classical liberal principles, rather than libertarian concepts of self reliance and abhorrence of state. The question related to authority were also a bit disingenuous, as they all related to authority *exceeding* its bounds. There were several questions related to how far state intervention should go... looks like it relates to how far left it places you instead questions of statism/liberalism.

All in all, my biggest complaint is that the compass labels classical liberal values libertarian, which is misleading and may explain why it's so hip among the youth nowadays to ascribe to that philosophy, as they equate it with the classical freedoms that liberalism always strove for, and of which libertarianism is an offshoot off with a specific set of economic views.

[TopAce]

I'm pretty balanced, apparently. However, a few questions were misleading. For example this:

A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.

Of course it is; it's an axiom. If you want to ask whether the one-party system is fine, word the question accordingly.

Or my favorite, this one:

Abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all.

This is a semantic question. Do you mean whether it should be legally allowed or be given government funding?

Here I go:



Seems like I have moved towards libertarian axis, used to be dead in the center.

It wouldn't just primarily need only one fiery nuclear dimension ?

Actually I'm pretty sure that's a lie rather than an axiom, but then again I have a significant interest in the history of one-party states and they don't.

Eh, I think too much into the questions.. so I choose more neutral answers as I'm not sure exactly where the question is going or how it's meant...

[Molybdenum]

I took this test a few years ago and now it seems my views are getting more polarized. I was way more centrist back then. Now I've drifted both further left and more towards Authoritarianism.

Of course some to the questions are pretty vague and open to interpretation but I feel that this tests isn't entirely meaningless like personality tests.

I didn't land exactly where I though I would land nor where I wanted to land.

[Dragon]

Near the center, though somewhat on the libertarian side. That's about right.

[Bob-san]

Economic Left/Right: 6.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.08



And that's me.

[Nuke]

would be interesting to take the test every 3 months and graph the data over the course of several years. i bet you would see a lot of repetitive oscillations and flipfloppyness, even for those with highly polarized views.

i think i ended up at -4,-2 (left and down) on the x,y axes. i think all my "**** corporations" answeres were misinterpreted as wanting more government, which is entirely not the case. i dont trust any large group of people whether it be for money or power. my compas most definatly has a misanthropy axis. a measurement on how much you tolerate the existance of others. there most definately would be a reason-insanity axis, as i dont believe that most people are reasonable individuals, which goes against the usual assumption that people are usually reasonable. of course there would be a nuke happyness axis, of which i would be on the nuke the site from orbit end of course.

[sigtau]

Well, this doesn't surprise me.
