Political Compass Test I figured it was about time for another run-through of this. It's been a while since the last one, and with mod elections coming soon, it's important to know where everyone stands. If you've taken the test before, please take it again. I know my results change somewhat every time I take the test. My new results: Economic Left/Right: -6.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.28 -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered. One falls down when reasoning is destroyed."- The Bhagavad Gita. Posts: 1798 | Registered: Sunday, October 5 2003 07:00 |

Economic Left/Right: -7.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.97 Further to the lower left than when I last took it. I predict this to be slightly lower and to the left than the average Spiderwebber's score, which will probably still be in the third quadrant. -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0...

Economic -2.88, social -3.64. Among normal people this makes me some kind of pinko-wacko. Among academics, and apparently also on Spiderweb, this makes me Attilla the Hun.

Similar to earlier results: socially moderate, economically liberal. Economic Left/Right: -4.50 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.92 By the way, the compass mislabels their vertical axes. They call it authoritarian/liberatarin, while most of the questions deal with how socially conservative the respondents are. For example, while social conservative frequently support more governmental regulation, so do some social liberals. (for example, racial quotas in hiring and school admissions) -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

What I got before, roughly: Social -8, Econ -6 I'm sure it's still accurate. —Alorael, who has lost faith in his ability to take the test without compromising his results by having taken it before and having definite expectations. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I think that there are some serious problems with that test. First of all, some of the questions don't really have a place in a political test. Sure, one posistion may be common in certain types of governments, but it could either be a coincidence, or they may just be using it as an excuse in order to take power for thier real main objectives, but the position itself doesn't indicate a direction on that scale. I also am confused by some of the question which seem to contain two different statements (likely with a "but" between), where I find myself agreeing with one part but disagreeing with another. -------------------- Warning: Posts may contain misspellinks and typo.s Posts: 409 | Registered: Sunday, March 31 2002 08:00 |

In general, questions phrased like that are designed with the expectation that you'll answer "Disagree" unless you agree with the whole statement. The FAQ explains this. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

But which of the two parts you disagree with will determine weather it goes to the left or right. -------------------- Warning: Posts may contain misspellinks and typo.s Posts: 409 | Registered: Sunday, March 31 2002 08:00 |

quote:What you have to remember is that the questions aren't meant to be "questions" in the strictest sense. They're leading statements. You're meant to feel as if some of them are trying to manipulate you into giving the answer they want -- and when you feel that way, you disagree. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!
