    YAAAY THIS THING AGAIN

    https://www.politicalcompass.org/

    Where are you now and where were you previously, if you can remember or have a reference?

    Don't complain about the questions Wocky, Darth Guy et al - we know they're not perfect, they're not meant to be.

    I am:

    I used to be 0.25, -0.25 so I've shuffed a bit left since I last took it 10 years ago.

    Bonus points if you're "left wing by American standards" and fudge the results to get a green or red square.

    I gotta be honest, Ender. This is a left-wing by American standards sort of test.

    What did I say about the questions? Do you want a drone strike aimed at innocents? I'll launch one I swear.

    I’m kind of into those pointlessly granular new ones where they give you a little Reddit-style meaningless string of identifiers and like 37 axes. One that I saw even did this cute thing where it generated a garish little flag for you.

    That’s 1.5 points of presumably crypto-Bordigist sympathies on that vertical axis, woof.

    It certainly is left-wing by American standards. The contextualization is hidden but evident when living in a country with different issues and an actually socialized economy :p

    Those are soooooo scientifically accurate... :rolleyes:o_O


    I like this one better, it has fun labels:

    5 Dimensional Political Compass:
    http://www.abtirsi.com/quiz2.php

    Looks like I've morphed from this:
    Communist World-Federalist Humanist Libertine
    Collectivism 100
    Authoritarianism 0
    Internationalism 100
    Tribalism -50
    Liberalism 100

    to this:
    Communist Anti-Government World-Federalist Bleeding-Heart Libertine
    Collectivism 100%
    Authoritarianism -17%
    Internationalism 100%
    Tribalism -100%
    Liberalism 83%

    Sort-of automatically wrong results, considering this is clearly a USA-centric binary questionaire I filled as a Frenchman, but amusing nonetheless :p

    You are a: Left-Leaning Authoritarian World-Federalist Cosmopolitan Traditionalist
    Collectivism score: 33%
    Authoritarianism score: 67%
    Internationalism score: 100%
    Tribalism score: -33%
    Liberalism score: -17%

    Some of the questions are kind of silly for someone from Scandinavia (I mean, even the most conservative nutcases here don't bother with being anti-gay anymore).
    We recently had our elections here and I did several political compasses this summer, but those were harder than this as they were a lot more nuanced than some of these elementary school level morality questions.

    Somehow all our results look similar although we have quite some controversial discussions on the board here.
    I'd be interested in seeing the result of e.g. @J-Rod or @robert martins or others that like to discuss on the senate thread.
    Anyway, I think that the categorization of the test does not fit with non American understanding of left / right and lib. / aut.

    I am also apparently a “Communist Authoritarian Isolationalist Bleeding Heart Liberal,” according to the five-dimensional political compass.

    That quiz cracked me up. “We should just nuke our enemies, it’s a waste of time to try to deal with them.”
