Hello TV!
I have found a pretty useful tool to determine your standings on the "political compass". Check it out: http://www.politicalcompass.org It has an explanation of the results when you have taken the quiz! I am: Economic: -2.62 Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.60 This thread is for the purpose of discussing the various questions, results, and explanations in the political compass, and your opinions on it! Rock on! This post has been edited by Glunny Wootness: Aug 18 2007, 07:04 PM -------------------- QUOTE(Benjamin Franklin) Some people die at 25 and aren't buried until 75. |

Economic Left/Right: -1.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.28 I'll say the questions are a little left. I sure didn't expect to fall in where I did. One point left and south of the mainstream? -------------------- The only easy day was yesterday....

Economic Left/Right: -1.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.92 Some strangely loaded questions too but agreed... it was fun i also thought I'd be in a different quadrant. But again I think some questions may push you there. This post has been edited by boopme: Aug 18 2007, 08:43 PM |

Economic Left/Right: 2.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.28 And people say the questions are only a little left leaning? try a lot.

Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world." Colossians 3:5

Economic Left/Right: 0.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.82 Interesting. On a straight Left - Right scale, I always end up being just a little right of center. By this quiz, I'm right in the middle economically, and a little bit authoritarian. I think that would translate into just a little right of center. -------------------- Lib. Free or Die

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -3.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.49 I have to admit some of the questions I had to read more than once. LOL I am not very politically savvy I guess. I don't like to express opinions much because I don't always understand or know the facts, to be honest. |
