This test is notoriously simplistic.

Your Political Compass (http://www.home.no/noodles/politicalcompass/resultat.JPG)

Economic Left/Right: -8,25
Social Liberatarian/Authoritarian: -5,03

[The Garbage Disposal Unit]

Economic Left/Right: -10.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.90

I'm an authoritarian bastard.

[RedAnarchist]

This test is biased and is not the best indicator of your political alignment - if you do it enough times you can select answers so that you get something like -10, -10, which is whta i got last time i did it.

[The Garbage Disposal Unit]

Aye, but selecting your answers to get a particular score is silly. I answered truthfully, according to how I feel the world ought to operate, and what I personally believe . . . not for the sake of getting MAD LIBERTARIAN-LEFT POINTS!
It just so happens that there was only one statement I wasn't in complete agreence with or opposition to - the one relating to pornography.

[RedAnarchist]

when i answered truthfully, i would be iun that area, but my results were closer to -7, -7 than -10, -10.

[Non-Sectarian Bastard!]

Why would you do something like that, to aim for a certain score? :S

I usually get something around -9 -9

[CaptinAnarchy124]

The test is biased towards some affiliations, namely Anarchism. But I think it is still a good tool to see where people generally lie, it helps me start political conversations, and I use it to show people that they're more Syndicalist/Anarchist than they'd believe.

When faced with the options in a simple point-for-point questionaire, humanity is anarchist-biased. It's only when things are obfuscated with political language and lies are piled upon lies that people begin to reject freedom and equality.

[BOZG]

This test is shit.

[TrotskyHunter]

Economic Left/Right: -9.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.64


The test is very anti-authoritarian and pro-liberal/anarchist.

It's obvious against human nature to be hierarchyless. All of the greatest human societies have been created under mass bureaucracies and/or hierarchies.

[CaptinAnarchy124]

>>It's obvious against human nature to be hierarchyless. All of the greatest human societies have been created under mass bureaucracies and/or hierarchies.

Oh please. What examples? Rome? Rome fell and under its rule, 100,000 were killed by the tyrannical government.
Russia failed and Lenins and Stalin's crimes were aweful, any rational human being would tell you that.
It is in fact Anti-Authoritarian areas that have created the best equality and freedom, essential to human development.

Also, don't confuse Liberal with Anarchist, they are very different things.

[TrotskyHunter]

Russia failed and Lenins and Stalin's crimes were aweful, any rational human being

If by "rational human being" you mean a wall street businessman then yes, you are right. But Lenin and Stalin's government's were the greatest humanity has ever seen i my opinion, proving that the state, if controlled by the masses, can benefit humanity.

By the way, what inventions and innovations have happened in lawless societies? Compare the achievements of organized societies with unorganized ones as seen in remote parts of Africa.

[Non-Sectarian Bastard!]

Weird, even Trotsky (or whatever hierachial god you worship) believed that eventually people would self-govern.

And who said anything about comparing us to traditional human societies, we are talking about a completly different outlook. Not a society based on warfare, class oppression, greed. I wouldn't give a fuck about the achievements of Emperial Britian, would you?

[Latifa]

In my sig =D

There was a question "The enemy of my enemy is my friend"

What does this gauge?

[Commie Rat]

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -6.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.82

is that good or bad ??

[Zingu]

In my sig as well.


I still haven't figured out what that affects either.

[h&s]

The lower, the better ;)

[Commie Rat]

fuck , i love your avatar.

Thanx Fidelbrand

ur looks like Vader to me is that right ?

so obviouly a -2 in social libertarian / aurthouritorian is exellent ??

[RadioRebelde]

(first post..)

Well, looks like my compass only goes leftier as time goes by. :D
I remember taking this test 4 or 5 months ago, and these were the results:

Economic Left/Right: -4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.26
see graph:
http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalc...X=-4.75&Y=-6.26 (http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/questionnaire.pl?page=printable_graph&X=-4.75&Y=-6.26)



And I just took it again, and moved further into the left:

Economic Left/Right: -6.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.87
see graph:
http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalc...X=-6.00&Y=-6.87 (http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/questionnaire.pl?page=printable_graph&X=-6.00&Y=-6.87)


So on economic views, I moved 1.25 to the left..
and on the social side, moved on 0.61 to the left

I can't call myself a socialist, communist or marxist yet since I'm still 16 years old, but I'll keep reading... and informing myself, specially if I get money this christmas it'll mostly go into books.

So I'm also looking for someone who is very well-informed about socialism and/or communism and marxism who doesn't mind answering a few questions. :)

....other than that, I'm glad to be posting on this forum, it's a great resource and I've found many things of intrest.

This looks at how authoritarian/libertarian you are. If you answer the question 'yes' it will determine that you are more authoritarian than if you said 'no'.

[BOZG]

Which is ridiculous.

I agree.

That you view one enemy as less dangerous than another and treat them as such does not make you authoritarian, it makes you rational.

Or perhaps Anarchists made the questionnaire.

[stitch]

Economic Left/Right: -3.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.90

right around nelson mandela, gandhi and the dalai lamba. I'd say not bad, I guess I just believe in some different things than some of you guys.

[Conghaileach]

Economic Left/Right: -8.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.33


I think that the "enemy of my enemy" option is concerned with accepting that the rule is generally true, as opposed to accepting it only in certain situations.

[EGisJUICE]

I got a B+


Economic Left/Right: -6.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.95

no probelms, man~ Welcome to che-lives. :)

[American_Trotskyist]

Yeah this thing is way to bais toward the anarchists and Stalinists. There is no medium, if you are left wing, but not a stalinist you are an anarchist if are left wing and more centralist you are a stalinist.
-9.87 -8.7

[Djehuti]

Did it today accually, last time I did it was some years ago.
I got something like:
Left/Right: -9.7
Anarchist/Authorian: - 8.4


All left/righ scales and tests sucks. This is bether then most, but still faaaar from sufficient. You really dont need any test except if you are a total political noob.
Its rather messes stuff up then helps.

If showing a friendly gesture for a newbie who thinks he/she might be "different" from us is bullshit, then you are worse than a piece of bullshit for bullshiting for bullshitting 's sake. :D

[I've Defected]

Economic Left/Right: -8.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.10

i used to be around -6,-6 a couple months ago.

[Dysfunctional_Literate]

The test isn't very accurate. I had my ultra right-wing cousin take it and he scored something like -3 economic and 1 authoritarian.

[RhetoricalAbsurdity]

Whether it's inaccurate, biased, pointless, whatever, here's my score:

Economic Left/Right: -9.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.00

[trex]

mine's stuck in my signature.

The test was fun. I like how they pointed out that Jaque Chirac is actuallly really conservative in the world samples.

THis test is defenitely a little biased towards anarchy/left.

[Dysfunctional_Literate]

Hey Trex, I just thought I'd let you know the address in your signature it should read www.politicalcompass.org not .com

[Jesus Christ!]

I've done this test so many times on different forums and I always end up around the same area. Economic Left/Right: -7.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.00

[Tycoon4aLL]

I got a -6,-8
i dont really care if its baised i did it to get some kind of an idea on where i stand.

[Wurkwurk]
