Find Your Political Compass...NOW!!

[SLAW]

Allright, before we go any further on this forum, we should have a politcal quiz thread so we can know where everyone stands, thus making it easier just to label everyone and write off what they have to say. Just kidding, or am I? There's a lot of these things out there, but I found this one to be a nice thorough (without being too thorough and long) enough to recommend. If anything, it's pretty fun stuff to see where you mark in a graph among political leaders of today and yesterday.

The tests results show four areas: the Authoritarian Left, the Authoritarian Right, the Libertarian Right, and the Libertarian Left.

As for me, I reside on the Libertarian left just a bit below Gandhi. I am for the individual value for all people above all else.

I took that thing a couple of months ago and got it RIGHT on the center, I was happy. I'm a true independent.

[flowrchild]

I was on the Libertarian Left part of the spectrum.

[Benny]

Just what I thought, I'm a Liberal Libertarian.

[Fisting Ackbar]

Economic Left/Right: 1.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.97

Expected to be a little more libertarian than that I must admit.

[JCPhoenix]

Economic Left/Right: -2.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44

Liberal Libertarian apparently. The famous figure I'm closest to is The Dalai Lama, then Nelson Mandela.

[QUENTIN]

Economic Left/Right: -7.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.00

I'm about equadistant from Mandela and The Dalai Lama but much more to the left and much lower, I'm pretty far down/over on the lefthand side, which makes sense I suppose. Neat site.

On the second site:

Left-Liberal, etc...

I'm a LEFT-LIBERAL. Left-Liberals prefer self-government in personal matters and central decision-making on economics. They want government to serve the disadvantaged in the name of fairness. Leftists tolerate social diversity, but work for economic equality

The only bad thing about that quiz is that it's an extension from a libertarian website, so they always end up putting that you're a libertarian as your second or third choice. So basically ignore anything you get except for the first answer.

I like this test, taken it many times before, though the propositions are too vague.

The closest ones I got to were Gandhi and the Dalai Lama, not surprised.

My political stance is more independent, as I swing both ways economically and my beliefs I like to think aren't black-and-white.

[JCR]

Economic Left/Right: -3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.08

I think I'm further right on the left/right scale than that, though the Social Libertarian/Authoritarian score seems about right.

Libertarians are self-governors in both personal and economic matters. They believe government's only purpose is to protect people from coercion and violence. They value individual responsibility, and tolerate economic and social diversity.

As expected, the test results show me to be a left-liberal. I'd consider myself mildly left wing, though I'm most comfortable viewing things from the centrist camp.
