Political Compass Test

Few things more devious than hiding your secret socialism behind a right wing record.

 

I believe the "analysis" page is based on an international scale, and it's no real secret that the United States is politically pretty right wing when compared to other Western nations.

Not possible. Obama is a left-wing extremist.

L/R- -1.5

Social- -2.62

 

Based on the other charts posted here, I am the most middle ground. So I have that going for me.

Haha! knapp and carl, buncha commies, you are

 

It's a wonder I agree with you so much.

So, to summarize about 14 posted responses; 10 left of center & 4 right of center, O authoritarian and 14 libertarian.

With the random application of 4.5 off axis being considered extremist, we only have 4; tschu, carl, and junior to the left and canttakeitanymore to the right. Seems to fairly well match my experiences around here.

Why is 4.5 considered extremist? Convenience?

Yep. Somebody has to stir the pot around here once in awhile.

Is this for reals or did you intentionally try for an extreme result? I would only guess you at maybe 75% of that, worst case. Those are Bill Ayers weather underground type numbers I would imagine.

No worries, I think you're ok and isn't that what's most important?

 

The thing I didn't like about the questions was that there were no options right down the middle. I found myself wanting to pick a neutral response on many questions but was forced to go to one side or the other. Plus some other questions, where I felt rather strongly, were worded such that I could not select the stronger position. Words like "always" and "never" will usually make me moderate my stance because they are just too absolute.
