Where do you stand on this political compass?
Where do you stand on this political compass?
One of the better tests I came across that plots your position on a Left-Right and Authoritarian-Libertarian axes. It's also one of the oldest on the net.

Almost every other question reminded me of a forum topic or discussion we've had here. So you you might find it engaging too.

Here's my chart

I couldn't get past the first page.
Re: Where do you stand on this political compass?
Coordinate (-5,-3). Economic left and social libertarian (not extreme in either view).

Hi!
Try this link:
https://www.politicalcompass.org/test
my result:
They didn't have 'don't care' as responses. Guess that makes you take a stand!

Re: Where do you stand on this political compass?
Do I win??? What do I get?
As for no "don't care", on a lot of these I felt saying "Disagree" was more like a "neutral" than a, "I support the opposite of what this says and think this statement is wrong."

Re: Where do you stand on this political compass?
left/right: -3.38
libertarian/authoritarian: -4.72
Naturally the libertarian axis in this test is not the same one as the "Are you a Libertarian?" poll posted earlier this year, where I wasn't even remotely Libertarian.

About this question:
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.87
About this question:
I said yes but I wonder if their test took that to imply that I thought a one-party state was a good thing. I mean, it is more efficient but I've come around to seeing the lack of efficiency in democratic political systems to be a good thing (for the most part, in the end, etc).A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.

There was also something in 3D for political stances.

Re: Where do you stand on this political compass?
Last time I checked, I was +1,-3 or thereabouts.
What's interesting is to compare to the various parties and politicians (and apparently musicians) in the left sidebar.
Unless my memory is gas-lighting me, there's been a very significant shift to to the authoritarian-right for all parties over the past 10 years or so. Note how the test appears uncallibrated with almost every professional politician (left or right)(*) in the same quadrant. That did not use to be the case. The world is very much a monoculture currently when it comes to socio-economic issues that matter cf. the distractions they like to disagree on to "entertain"/split the [m]asses.
(*) The traditional left/right scale falls on the y ~ x diagonal here. This is why the scatter plot of all professionals fall there ... whereas amateur politicians (musicians for example) are somewhat more all over the board.

Re: Where do you stand on this political compass?
The FAQ on that site description the various systems is nicely succinct/handy when trying to label the form of government based on observations. Almost like descriptive personality typing.
Re: Where do you stand on this political compass?
Economic Left/Right: 1.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.56
Some of the questions were too binary but I guess they have to be in order to pigeonhole people into a category/coordinate that perhaps is more fluid depending the circumstances.

Re: Where do you stand on this political compass?
No kidding.. I don't even know how to interpret (how they mean) the very first question: "Each individual enjoys bodily autonomy and have rights that no other individual or group may violate."
Re: Where do you stand on this political compass?
@bryan, I was also confused. I think it is related to abortion and drug use.

100% Right, 80.6% Liberal. a more liberal Milton Friedman.
Re: Where do you stand on this political compass?
Fairly close to Ghandi.
Economic Left/Right: -1.5
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.03
I didn't like having to choose agree or disagree for most of the questions. Felt they were way too broad for that specific of an answer.
