Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.23

You’ll have to take the quiz to understand what it all means, but suffice to say that I’m surprised to be in the company of the Dalai Lama, Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela.

  • I’m not surprised, because–

    –you’re a social crusader, like Darth Vader, bringing justice to the lowest common denominator!

    Or, something like that, anyway.

    1. I’m glad to see you don’t lack faith. I wish I could say the same for myself. 😉

  • Economic Left/Right: -4.75
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.67

    You have a Social Libertarian/Authoritarian rating of -3?

    Facist!

    1. Oh yeah… well your -4.75 Economic Left/Right proves that you’re a corporation loving laissez-faire freemarketeer. ;p

          1. So I’m old… what of it… I still got a lot of anti-globalism fightin’ left in me!

            I was out canvassing with Katy… and no one has called since I got home.

    Ha!

    Though a lot of those questions are pretty horrible. The test was pretty obviously written by someone on the left.

        1. So… you’re hard right on Economics and a social Libertarian? Which places you squarely with Michael Badnarik (if you look at the US Elections link on the same site). 🙂

    Socialistic Libertarian Man, away!!!! 😉

  • What does it all mean?!

    Economic Left/Right: -6.00
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.69

    1. When you were done with the test it should have shown an analysis page along with your score… If not, you can simply go back to the website and click on the Analysis link on the left. That should lead you to some interesting reading. You may also want to read FAQ. 🙂

        1. Yep… basically… but keep in mind that there is a great deal of variety in possible scores on the lower left quadrant (or in any quadrant). Your Economic views are pretty far to the left, but your Social views seem fairly moderate. Someone with truly extreme views could also be in the lower left quadrant and their beliefs would be nothing like your own.

    1. That’s strange… I haven’t touched any of the comments. I’ll send a note to the tech support people to find out what’s up.
