It's remarkable how many of us end up in the left-libertarian square. I wonder why that is.

 

[MindFrog]

Hmm.. I'm sensing a pattern here..

 

[stygal]

My views are very left apparently

 

[Isadeth]

I guess I'm literally on the fence lol

Your Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: 4.0
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.97

Give or take where i am. Right economically, moderate libertarian socially. I have to say though, in this test its a bit hard to get an authoritarian result.

Where would daffy duck be on this ?

 

[Quinlor]

Me! More left than Libertarian but I'm satisfied .

 

[Deleted member 1465]

I felt hemmed in by not having any neutral responses, but I did it anyway and got a result that surprised me. I'm not sure this is very representative TBH.

Honestly this test isn't really that great; it seems to have a lib-left bias (e.g. you support basic human rights? Libleft then!). A better test would be using the SapplyValues test, which reduces the bias somewhat, but down to an acceptable amount. It also introduces a new scale: progressivism vs conservatism. I was a libcenter when taking OP's test but I got authleft with this one.

I've never seen this! Thanks for sharing.


It's interesting because I'm more authoritarian on this one than the compass, and I thought I would've been relatively socially conservative on the scale.

I've read up on political theory, debated politics for a couple of decades, and taken several political tests. I can say that this test de facto is flawed. (Why use the ideologically charged term "libertarian"? Why place Hitler on the left?) However, the sad truth is that it's one of the best political tests I've been able to find. I've tried to improve it by for instance adding one or more axes, but in vain.

BTW, liberals aren't left-wing, not even social liberals. They embrace capitalism and representative democracy and don't shy away from militarism and so on and so forth.

It's definitely an interesting addition, but it's not without flaws either. For instance, where to position libertarians and anarchists on this scale?

v I have the strangest political beliefs of all I guess .

SapplyValues

Results

 

[Symbiote]

Same result just about...

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Wow, mostly the same. Though this one says I'm slightly less authoritarian and more right wing.....

[Futile]

Honestly I've found it very stupid, most questions were too generic and nonsensical and didn't take into consideration a lot of factors

But anyway, I'm a commie now apparently. Where's my state mandated gf?

 

[Sensei]

Sorry, girlfriends are out of stock. We might get a new batch when the next five-year plan starts.
