'The Political Compass' Test

[Mike]

A friend recently sent me this test to take. I thought the questions were decent and it took about 5-10 min. I wasn't surprised by my results.

"Welcome! It’s timely to stress that The Political Compass has been on the internet since 2001. The uniqueness of our take on politics is reflected in the gratifyingly enthusiastic reviews we’ve enjoyed in the national media of many countries from our earliest years — as well as from many teachers and academics who continue to use our work"

Did this a few months ago. I'm Libertarian/Left, but closer to the middle than you.

I'm not really into politics or social issues. Some of these questions I've not encountered or thought about before. Some I thought, "I don't really know, I need to research that." So I had to make my best guess.

For some, the wording really mattered, like the few alls and shoulds. Maybe I overthought some questions.

I'm kind of surprised at my result:

Just did mine and had to laugh as I came out far left 9.5! And social Libertarian/Authoritarian -4.1!

I don't and wont vote ever - but the idea of it! Me! A raging pinko-commie, post modernist fascist!

 

[Kaigen]

Interesting, 6 pages of questions.



Looks like we are all in Green

Quite interesting. A test that confirms my ’suspicions’ about my political coloring. Although I stay away from politics as there is no social construct I dislike more, it seems that being strongly opinionated, by default, attaches political baggage.
my results
Economic Left/Right: -7.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.49

What I liked Most was the Certificate. I will print it and frame it.

Well, I did it and here are my results:



However, the questions did not really include anything that would reveal conservatism. They were written by a Left/Libtard who had a limited imagination. The result was that some questions could only have one answer if the individual was remotely human. There were no options for neither agree nor disagree either.

Some of the questions were not very well worded, but here I am.

I tried but I still don't understand what the numbers mean?

Economic Left/Right: -3.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.05

 

[thorbiorn]

I tried but I still don't understand what the numbers mean?

Economic Left/Right: -3.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.05

It is like a coordinate system with an x axis and a y axis. With your figures, it would be like saying (x,y)=(-3.25,-2.05) which is located in the third quadrant, illustrated below:
