Ok, this is always fun- The political compass!
Your political compass!
These questions are very ambiguous and up for interpretation. You don't need some survey to tell you your own political views, just start up a conversation.
"Oh dear -apparently im a cross between ghandi and stalin - go me!I'd love to see a mutant Gandhi-Stalin.
I'm about symmetrical with you, BoG, although a little lower.
I'm very close to the Dalai Lama..

If I remember, and counting each grid as one space, the coordinates for me were (-4, -5)"
"These questions are very ambiguous and up for interpretation. You don't need some survey to tell you your own political views, just start up a conversation."^This.
I never considered these things accurate anyways.
You guys are all pretty free spirited by the readings of this- im coming off as a bit of a dictator :s

"These questions are very ambiguous and up for interpretation. You don't need some survey to tell you your own political views, just start up a conversation."Well of course they reflect your views to an extent. I'm not now going to tell all my friends, "I'm just like the Dalai Lama!"
It's proposing views and you choose what you think. It's just a survey on the internet, it's pretty close for what it is..

I'm just calling it as I see it. =P
"Does financially conservative just mean you don't want to be taxed higher because you have money?This is really not accurate for me. Im really more left than that, i am socialy liberal and finacialy conservative. I am much more of a libertain. But it was fun, and i anwsered some on the questions the wrong way....so put me 2 ticks left and that about were i am."
"Pibo47 said:Um, yeah. Because thats called stealing from the rich. And some other things to, its not just that. But thts a big one."Does financially conservative just mean you don't want to be taxed higher because you have money?"This is really not accurate for me.

"A lot of the questions I wanted to have a "Neutral" option simply because some of those things I didn't really have an opinion either way, or I just didn't care about it. Other questions were kind of... ambiguous and I wasn't sure how to answer them. Whatever.Like the "should retards reproduce?" question.. I was kinda startled by that one.

"PureRok said:I never had that question. o.O I had one asking if people with diseases should reproduce, but nothing about "retards"."A lot of the questions I wanted to have a "Neutral" option simply because some of those things I didn't really have an opinion either way, or I just didn't care about it.

It looks like there's a lot of Left-wing Libertarian's around, too. I'd guess that the majority of the internet culture follows suit, though.
Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.21
hmmm.... tbh, I think it's way off... nvmI took it, but I didn't quite feel as represented as I had hoped. Most of the the test weighed heavily on semantics, or the interpretation of specific keywords.
I think that the test would have been better weighted, if there were 100+ questions and consisted of the structure of a personality test. I don't know.. I could be wrong.
"I took it, but I didn't quite feel as represented as I had hoped. Most of the the test weighed heavily on semantics, or the interpretation of specific keywords.I agree. It needed less ambiguous and (slightly) confusing questions and more straight forward questions. There were something like 32 questions? How is that enough to place you (even slightly accurately) when it didn't cover hardly anything?

If I could convert America into a dictatorship, I would. (As long as I'm the one ruling it.)
Today, whenever a crisis comes up (much like our economic crisis) the government just sits around and debates pointlessly, wasting their time and our time. We haven't done much to fix our economy because of this. If I were leader, I'd fix the problem as fast as humanly possible without the silly discussion.
You may think I'm crazy but I'd actually make a great dictator. I wouldn't murder, however. I would be a dictator/ruler who cares for his people.
