Political: Are you a Lefty or a Righty ?

[jrydberg]

Now that I think about it, Indyman, I think we're in pretty good company if no political figures are anywhere near us on the chart

 

[oogieboogie]

I got L/R = -0.88 and L/A = -2.56
Pretty close to the middle.

 

[Saffron]

LOL! jrydberg.

What the heck does that make me?

 

[Melora]

I'm in good company!

No surprise here!

 

[PoohnPglet]

Hope you don't mind if I join in. I do not often get a chance to post.

Economic Left/Right: -7.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.21

Closest to me is Nelson Mandela and The Dalai Lama. I like the company.

I sent this to my dad and my DH and they were both in the same area that I am in....

thought that was interesting and not too surprising!

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -1.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.62
Authoritarian

Just what I though. Pretty much right in the middle leaning slightly left and a little to the Libertarian side. In other words:
Moderate.

Hello, just call me dead center!!! Surprising, since I usually vote conservatively...

All those years growing up in San Francisco rubbed off somehow.

Like many others, I feel I'm in good company. Mandela and the Dalai Lama are certainly men I admire. Good to know I'm learning from them, too.

Thanks to the OP for the link!

Wow- I actually thought I would be a bit more moderate!

Economic Left/Right: -8.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.54

My father will be so proud (and my grandfather would surely disown me)!

Great site- thanks!

I've taken this test in the past, and for the record, I hate it.

Rather, I hate some of the wording of the questions.

Like "Our race has many superior qualities, compared to other races." What other races?? Kryptonian?? Vulcan??? (yeah, I'm sure it's referring to Caucasian, Asian, and African, but still ...) Other questions seem like really broad generalizations, and I really don't like the lack of a "neutral" answer choice. There were several I would have answered neutral or maybe on and that would have impacted my score.

I ended up with
Economic Left/Right: 5.1
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.10
Probably about right on the Economic scale, but I feel I'm closer to the Libertarian side than just right on the line.

Personally, I prefer The World's Smallest Political Quiz. Similar graph as the other but only 10 questions. I scored Personal 90%/Economic 80% -- right in the middle of the Libertarian area of the graph.
