The Political Compass!

[eclipse]

If this has been made before, it's probably buried deep enough to count as necroposting.

A random chat session inspired this. Here's what to do:

1. Go to http://www.politicalcompass.org/ and READ THE HOME PAGE!

2. Once you've digested that, take the test at http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

3. Scroll down to find your graph.

4. Right below the graph, there will be a link to the graph, in the guise of "Click here to print this graph" or something to that effect.

5. Copy that link address and post it!

6. (optional) Go ahead and compare yourself to someone else.

Here's mine:

LEFT 8.25

LIBERTARIAN 7.38

I don't really know where I am. Probably in a libertarian militia killing the Tools of the Man. I share this place with CJ Wilson, a man more left-handed than you, with no concept of false modesty at all, and Gandhi, who's ... Gandhi.

I appear to have swerved somewhat more left-libertarian compared to a few months ago, where I sat at (-8, -6.something).

Oddly enough, despite clocking up more Leftist than Libertarian, I feel I care far more about the latter than the former. I can't really come up with a better ... thing than comparing PJ O'Rourke to Robert Mugabe, so I'll leave that for a later date.

I guess I'm the guy right between the above two people.

http://www.politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=-5.75&soc=-3.95

Moderate in both leftist government interventionism in economics, with a moderate amount of skepticism for established authority. I apparently seem to be quite close to Nelson Mandela, if their estimates of him are to be believed.

I seem to be only slightly more right than Gandhi... Huh.

Woo. A little right.

I'm close to the center though so that's nice, I guess.

[BEST TRYNDAMERE PLAYER]

Lots of people who shares distrust in the market here.

Last year I was closer to Gandhi, this year I'm closer to the Dalai Lama. Cool.

Well, I almost hit center. Slightly Authoritarian and Right, so I'm still not an extremist!

My cmopass.

I seem... to be there. I don't think I would quite think alike my individual's point of view if I was in a position of great power. Always for the ultimate perseverance, but the means... might not be exactly moral or just. And I am a believer of "the end does not justify the means". It's a complicated matter, it seems.

Most gamers are left-wingers, thanks for proving that SF.
