Where do you belong?

Check this A good site to test what your place is in the political compass. This is not horror related and I believe we are mature enough to not start arguing over this. If I'm wrong, please moderators take care of this thread.
It is an interesting test however that I would like to share with you.

BTW I would like to point that I'm around the center (-1 economic/0.46 liberal)

Way off the center for me:

Economic Left/Right: -6.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.15

I guess Cartman would say I'm a hippie

I didn't know it could get so far to the left

You are even more leftish/libertarian than my father!
Don't you think you should act more like a middle-aged conservative?

Spiteful Crow · Post by **Spiteful Crow** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 8:21 pm

Economic Left/Right: -4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.00

I'm the perfect balance! Woohoo! Time to start my bid for the presidency!

You think you're well balanced? I get 0.88 on the Economic left/right, and -0.41 on the Social Libertarian/Authoritarian front.

I think this must meant that my various extreme political positions just happen to cancel each other out, because my politics strike almost everyone I know as really wacky...

Yeah, that's what I think of my "balanced" position. I usually get labeled as "Conservative" for my politically incorrect statements I frequently make in public, but I can find plenty of ways to offend conservatives as well.

I'm Econmic Left/Right -5.25 and Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -4.21. This puts me close to Gandhi, the Dahlai Lama, and Nelson Mandela's dots on the graph, so I think I'm in good company at least.

Charlatan: A good company? Do the brutally murdered people that you have left in your way feel the same?

To All: I checked some things. If you put "I strongly agree" to all questions you end up as Le/Ri 0 and Li/Au 4.36

If you put "I strongly disagree" to all questions you end up as Le/ri 0 and Li/Au -4.36

So it is balanced.

Also take a look of the FAQ It is very interesting.

Economic Left/Right: -8.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.33

Right there with Charlatan and Joel...and my dot seemed to share the same place with Nelson Mandela. I can live with that.

Balanced? According to this, I'm pretty much dead center:
Economic Left/Right: -1.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.44
Just slightly left (I'm somewhat sympathetic, but not a lot), and slightly authoritarian (I am a father & grandfather, and supervisor of 30 people at work, after all).
Does that make me 'main-stream'?

Economic Left/Right: -7.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.03

Apparently I'm dead close to Ghandi. Then again, I do go to a university where the campus president does not wear shoes. Good test Alhoon! I won't be surpised if we get more negative numbers on this forum.

I'm sensing a pattern in the examples the survey ahs chosen.

Let's see, Ghandi and Nelson Mandella represents Left Libertairanism
Hitler, Marget Thatcher, Steven Harper (Candians know him), and [ugh] George Bush represent right wing authroitarism.

Gee, which side do you want to be on?

Indeed, there are not many examples of centrists leaders - no de Gaulle, Clinton, Trudeau, Kennedy, etc.

And you are right, the ++ side has many people we would think twice before inviting to a party

However, you are not supposed to see this graph before getting your results. So, I think the test is working well too see where you are in this compass, it's just the shown examples afterward that are not well balanced.

Interesting, I thought I was more Capitalistic than that.

From the FAQ

You can't be libertarian and left wing

You've got liberals on the right. Don't you know they're left ?

When are you guys gonna learn to spell ?

The makers of the site must have monumental patience.
