The potus candidates aren't up over there yet but I will be checking back every so often in expectation of seeing them.

[wildhorses]

1. okay

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -7.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.59

[Nite Owl]

2. Think I took this a while ago

and still in the same area

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.69

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. I took it a few years back. It has changed several questions, so I think that is what

what pushed me down and over even further.

[EFerrari]

17. That and BushCo is radicalizing the heck out of some of us.

:shrug:

[baldguy]

4. Right next to Gandhi

Economic Left/Right: -5.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.54

[silverweb]

5. New questions.

Interesting, but no real change from before:

Economic Left/Right: -6.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.00

[More Than A Feeling]

6. Mine.

Economic Left/Right: -4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.49

Now THAT'S fair and balanced!

[SteveG]

7. ok, here's mine

Economic Left/Right: -7.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.15

left Libertarian (no I won't vote for Ron Paul)

[pnorman]

10. Ron Paul would be considerd a RIGHT-libertarian.

But he's HONEST, which makes what he has to say, worth listening to. But an awful lot of people call themselves "libertarians" these days; it's sorta fashionable. But underneath, they're not only RIGHT, but AUTHORITARIAN. Crypto-Fascists!

[Warren DeMontague]

44. As long as Ron Paul is anti-separation of church & state & wants to put women in jail for getting

abortions, I have trouble buying him as ANY kind of "libertarian".

[pnorman]

47. I didn't know that.

If correct, he can no longer be considered a "Libertarian" in my books. But he's brutally HONEST, and for that reason alone, he should be listened to.

pnorman

[Warren DeMontague]

48. For a Republican, he makes sense-- on Iraq. But he's still anti-choice, etc.

[pnorman]

49. Thanks for the informative links.

No, Ron Paul is NOT a "Libertarian" as you or I might construe that term. And I stand corrected. But HONESTY trumps almost anything. That includes our attempts to sort people into neat little boxes. I've been doing such "sorting" all my life, and will continue to do so. But I need occasional reminders of its limitations.

8. Here's mine from about 3 years ago:

Economic Left/Right: -7.50
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.92

I believe that with tests of this nature, only the FIRST test is really "meaningful". And that should be taken BEFORE reading the rest of the webpage. Otherwise, your perceived self-image might subconsciously "color" your answers.

25. Try it again anyway. A lot of new questions have been added.

But I agree, there is always a risk of skewing your results. :)

[hellbound-liberal]

9. Looks like were all in the same quadrant. here are my scores:

Economic Left/Right: -7.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.26

The only surprise is that I seem to be to the left of Gandhi and more Libertarian than he was. I don't have much use for any of the people found in the first two quadrants.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

11. Economic Left/Right: -5.50, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.31. I'm The Dalai Lama LOL

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

31. Yeah, me too.

I wasn't expecting that.

[Warren DeMontague]

42. Ditto.

I'm in the same neighborhood.

[MuseRider]

12. There are different questions.

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -8.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.87

[HawkerHurricane]

13. Same place I was in 1999

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.92

I think it was 1999 when I first took this.

[Odin2005]

14. Economic: -8.50; Social: -5.95

n/t

[nosmokes]

15. Economic Left/Right: -9.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.23

low and outside, ball one? ;)

[EFerrari]

16. Just a LITTLE outside, ball two.

Economic Left/Right: -8.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.00

:)

[Pushed To The Left]

18. I think there are some new questions! Here are my results this time:

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.92

[TahitiNut]

19. The supermajority of DUers are to the lower left of Kucinich!

How's that for irony??? :eyes:

Here's the distribution from a DU poll I ran a couple of years ago, gathering between 200 and 300 DUer's scores.

[GreenPartyVoter]

26. I remember when you scored that for us. Yah, crazy how people won't vote for what

they really believe in.

[sanskritwarrior]

20. Just left of Center

Exactly where I thought I would be.........Being in the military makes me a tad authortarian, I freely admit it, but that's exactly where I thought I would be.


Economic Left/Right: -2.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.00

[GreenPartyVoter]

35. My RW family all complain that this test is skewed. They get so mad that they are not

where they thought they would be, up in the upper right hand corner. LOL

So kudos to you for knowing where you would show up. :)

[magellan]

21. Economic Left/Right: -8.00, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.87

Not surprisingly, many of us seem to be the polar opposite of where Bush** is on the graph.

[Solon]

22. I think I'm the leftist most person on the board...

Economic Left/Right: -10.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.41

I was going for -10/-10, but some of the questions have to do with PERSONAL opinions that have no relation to policy, which I find rather stupid.

[hfojvt]

23. and I am almost the rightist

but still left of center

-3.63; -2.26.

I remember last time being -7 on economics, so I am not sure how I slipped to the right on that. Maybe by not being freaked out by bottled water.

[Solon]

24. I'm not freaked out by bottled water, I just find it to be a waste of resources...

I never did understand the point of buying the same water you get from the tap separately in little plastic bottles. They claim its "mountain spring" or whatever BS they are peddling, but it goes through the same treatment as tap water, so what is the gain?

Not to mention the many residents of areas whose aquifers supply these bottled water companies are having their water being rapidly drained to meet demand, much faster than the hydro cycle can replenish the aquifers.

[GreenPartyVoter]

40. Yes, that is the case here in Maine. Too much water leaving the area

[davekriss]

39. No

Your two scores total -18.41. I scored -9.5/-9.03, which totals -18.53. I've got you beat by 0.12 points!! ;)

[MedleyMisty]

27. Bottom Left Represent!

Economic Left/Right: -9.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.51

[LeftishBrit]

28. Economic - 7.0; Social/Libertarian -6.62

Similar to when I took it a couple of years ago.

[NeedleCast]

29. Least Left? I guess I am so far

I'm only -1.50, -7.13

About what I expected. I'm the diet coke of the left. I didn't look very hard, but was there a scoring system discussed on the page (how far each question moves you on the chart)? I used agree/disagree a lot more than I used strongly agree/strongly disagree.

[devilgrrl]

30. Economic Left/Right: -8.25 • Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.21

Dang, I'm farther to the left than Ghandi! :wow:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

32. -9.3 & -9.3 Anarchist.

I guess I'll keep my avatar.

[Jonathan50]

33. Don't remember the numbers..

But me and the Dalai Lama, we're bestest buddies..

[RB TexLa]

34. Economic 1.63 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -3.74

[Liberal Veteran]

36. I'm pretty left.

Economic Left/Right: -7.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.13

[davekriss]

37. -9.5/-9.03 here (nt)

[GreenInNC]

38. -7.50, -7.54

pretty good company

[ulysses]

41. heh - I was worried that I might have gotten more conservative.

Still moving the other way. :)

Economic Left/Right: -8.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.44

[Warren DeMontague]

43. Economic Left/Right: -4.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.97. left-libertarian all the way.

Nevermind that some folks here react like you waved a poo sandwich under their nose when they hear the "l" word...

left-libertarian! left-libertarian! left left left left...
left-libertarian!

[slackmaster]

45. Left/Right -.25, Libertarian/Authoritarian -4.95

Very close to my historic scores on the test.

[porphyrian]

46. -6.5, -7.28 today. - n/t

[mondo joe]

50. Economic -2.63; Social -6.77 -- close to Gandhi, but usually closer.
