[SteppingRazor]

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.62

:P

[mvd]

3. I'm shocked by how far below even McKinney I am

Makes me worry about some of the answers they gave, though. :hi:

[SteppingRazor]

4. I appear to be in almost exactly the same spot as the Dalai Lama.

O8)

[Beausoleil]

27. Me, too!

Except I'm a little to the left.


Economic Left/Right: -6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.23


Edit: my numbers

[sazemisery]

5. here's mine

Economic Left/Right: -7.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.62

[Dervill Crow]

6. Interesting!

Economic Left/Right: -4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.10

[Lost-in-FL]

7. I cannot believe this!!

My score is...

Economic Left/Right: -3.5
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.4

... and i am pleasantly surprised!

[rucky]

8. -8.38; -6.72

Total pinko.

[MadrasT]

9. I'm still about where I was a few months back

Economic Left/Right: -5.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.28

[kick-ass-bob]

15. Almost exactly alike.

Economic Left/Right: -5.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.13

[grantcart]

26. -5.88/-4.72

[joop]

39. very closs to you, kick-ass-bob

-5.38 (exactly!)
and -4.82 - puts us right around Nelson Mandela I think...

[Yes We Did]

10. Mine...

Economic Left/Right: -7.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.54

[LeftishBrit]

11. -7.25 economic; -6.92 social

I always get something close to -0.7 on both scales.

[TheKentuckian]

12. I didn't see myself so leftist, maybe it didn't have the right

questions to gather my more conservative side

Economic Left/Right: -6.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.21

[mvd]

16. I think it makes sense for me, but I didn't expect..

all the candidates to be more conservative. I mean, questions like "I'd always support my country, whether it was right or wrong" are such an easy "strongly disagree" for me. I got my score while just putting "disagree" for the death penalty being appropriate sometimes and schools' primary objective being getting our children in jobs.

[bevoette]

13. ack! i'm scared to post my results...

y'all might want to kick me outta here, LOL

Economic Left/Right: 0.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.90

just remember...

i'm supporting Obama because reality has trumped my ideology :)

[Greyskye]

38. It's a big tent.

:hi:

[IndependentDem]

14. Economic Left/Right: -6.25 : Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.51

sounds about right.

[Mojorabbit]

17. Mine

Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.62

[Peacetrain]

18. Me and Ghandi..

The Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: -3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.46

[Hellataz]

19. To the left... to the left...lol

Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.08

I'm right around Gandhi and the Dalai Lama..so I'm cool with that.
Enlightenment and peace!

[spaceturkey]

20. mine are

Economic Left/Right: -7.50

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.72

[vanderBeth]

21. I think mine is wrong. I put the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela to shame.

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -8.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.05

:hide:

[iiibbb]

22. I've yet to meet anyone who falls outside of the bottom-left quadrant... even Right-leaning friends.

I think that test doesn't reflect much.

[mvd]

23. I wonder if they really gave the candidates the test or are estimating?

[TexasObserver]

24. I always end up near Gandhi.

Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.92

[Secret_Society]

25. -5.00/-6.51

[ContinentalOp]

28. Economic: -7.50 Social: -8.51 -nt-

[freestyle]

29. Well into libertarian left territory with Mandela and the Dalai Lama.

And also Nader and McKinney, neither of whom I will be voting for. The U.S. political map is shifted well to the right, but ability to lead and to govern still matter, so I will vote for the Democratic ticket to the right of my personal views.

[goodgd_yall]

36. Yes,

Ralph Nader is who I'm closest too and I wouldn't argue that, but, as you say, ability to lead and the ability to govern a population with diverse political and economic views matters. Obama fits the bill.

[alwysdrunk]

30. Thanks for posting this

Economic Left/Right: -1.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.56

Now I can stop my ultra-liberal friends from calling me a right winger. I'm both ways left.

[SmokingJacket]

31. It's weird there's no one in the Libertarian Right Quad

This test always makes me feel so radical!

Like everyone else here, I out-left the Dalai Lama...

[goodgd_yall]

32. Economic: -7.25; Social: -4.56

I'm about where Nelson Mandela and Gandhi are. That's good company as far as I'm concerned. Oh, also, as far as composers go, I'm a close match with Prokofiev.

[Cali_Democrat]

33. economic: -5.25 social: -7.38

n/t

[zingaro]

34. Economic: -8.50 and Social: -7.54 nt

[deoxyribonuclease]

35. Economic: -6.50, Social: -2.87

Very close to where Gandhi is placed on the graph.

[Greyskye]

37. Economic: -7.25 / Social -6.46

[Lucy Goosey]

40. Economic -8.88, Social -8.51

But then again, I am Canadian.

I'm well to the left of any of the Canadian parties in our upcoming election, but at least we have an option in the lower seft quadrant.
