[mainegreen]

13. Gee, what a suprise

Economic Left/Right: -8.88
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.87

A communist libertarian.

Well, I'm near Gandhi and the Dalai Llama. Except more communist (?) and libertarian.

Can't we replace the communist tag with socialist?
There is a difference!

I pity the fool who gets any positive number from this test!

[JohnKleeb]

15. It is called

A libertarian socialist.

[Vikingking66]

14. I came out

Economic Left/Right: -7.12
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.97

which according to this chart means I'm more left than Gandhi, Mandela, or the Dalai Lama.

[amlouden]

19. pinkos

you're not a comie unless you're left authoritarian

[mzmolly]

40. Shit, you must be spinnin in circles

;)

[lastliberalintexas]

16. Hmmm,

Why is the left the "negative" side I wonder?

Economic Left/Right: -9.78
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.38

[Tommy_Douglas]

63. I'm with this guy...

Left to the 9's!!! :D

[Rainbowreflect]

17. I am to the left & down from Nelson Mandela, The Dalai Lama & Gandhi.

- 8.38 / - 7.33
Is that a good thing?????

[DuctapeFatwa]

18. I'm in good company - with Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama!

No wonder I'm right so much of the time.

People should really listen to me more than they do.

on edit, forgot the numbers

Economic Left/Right: -8.25
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.67

[Selwynn]

20. Me too! I knew there was a reason I particularly liked you :)

Maybe we'll get adjoining cages down in Gitmo!

:toast:

[JohnKleeb]

32. see you there

Anyways I called the top bunk in the ocean view area bunk 11, and I am head of the teenage escape commitee. :D

[mainegreen]

21. Where the Dem Candidates Stand

http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/usprimaries.html

Um... Scary?

[elfwitch]

22. a little bit...

But I'm not entirely surprised. To get to the national stage you almost have to be where they are on the scale. Otherwise they would freak out the straights!

[mainegreen]

24. It'd be interesting

to see that chart with a percentage representation so you could see the population distribution of the US on that chart.

Everyone would probably be crammed into a tiny corner at the top right!

[mainegreen]

25. It'd be interesting

to see that chart with a percentage representation so you could see the population distribution of the US on that chart.

Everyone would probably be crammed into a tiny corner at the top right!

[mainegreen]

26. It'd be interesting

to see that chart with a percentage representation so you could see the population distribution of the US on that chart.

Everyone would probably be crammed into a tiny corner at the top right!

But I bet there would be some interesting distibution points!

[mainegreen]

28. Sorry

My browser freaked out.

Opera can be kinda weird

[amlouden]

23. test

i think you have to take this test with a grain of salt. i've never heard how accurate this test is, and i've known about it for a year or so

[Hawkeye-X]

29. I think that's wildly inaccurate.

But let the candidates take the test themselves and see.

My compass:

Economic Left/Right: -5.75
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.77

[THUNDER HANDS]

35. Like I've said

Outside of Sharpton and Kucinich, Kerry is the most liberal of them all. Why, he's even practically a libertarian!

[mzmolly]

39. I've seen other tests that score them differently.

Shit, there's no way our guys/gals are like Thatcher! ;)

[Nazgul35]

27. I think I passed Nelson and the Dali Lama

here's my scores:

Economic Left/Right: -5.25
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.90

too bad we live in a universe that is more than two dimensions....this test really means nothing as the questions are simplistic and do not fully test ones dimensional belief system...but it is fun to say that the Dali Lama and Nelson Mandela are too moderate for me....republican-lite bastards!!!!

:evilgrin:

[progressiverealist]

30. me: -8.75 and -7.03

So I guess I really am a lefty.

[samsingh]

33. leftwing all the way - proven

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.38
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.79

[THUNDER HANDS]

34. I am

Economic Left/Right: -6.12
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.64

Whatever that means.

:)

[mmonk]

36. I'm

-1.75/-2.97 That would be what, center left?

[JohnKleeb]

37. near centrist

[mzmolly]

38. Left Libertarian

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -8.00
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.46

Same spot as Ghandi... Also I'm an idealist on the kiersy werner.

[Dr Satan]

41. cool

Economic Left/Right: -8.88
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.79

[RedEarth]

42. Next to Gandhi

I've taken the test three times over the last 6 months and each time I basically come in with the same score. Seems to be accurate for me.

[donotpassgo]

43. Guess I'm a moderate liberal

Economic Left/Right: -5.88
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.46

[spindoctor]

44. Too centered for this crowd

Economic Left/Right: -2.12
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.85

I agree with the others above though that the quality of the questions is so so.

Would like to see test scores of the candidates though.

Maybe someone can take the test for them?

[spindoctor]

45. Duh is me

All I had to do was open my eyes. That information is right there.

http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/usprimaries.html

And no wonder I like Kucinich and Sharpton. They are right in my little corner.
Maybe this test isn't so bad after all. lol

[JohnKleeb]

46. Youre that centrist and we share candiates

:wow: spin may be moderate in comparsion to some people but you and me share candiates. Ironic isn't it lol that people with high negatives wont support Kucinich because heh cording to them hes unelectable ad nasuea. I am far left by british standards :wow: that means I could be oh my gosh and :) a socialist or a communist here heh. If Kucinich is only slightly left of center then wow.

[spindoctor]

48. Absolutely

people with high negatives wont support Kucinich because heh cording to them hes unelectable ad nasuea

That is ridiculous. If he comes closest to your ideas and ideals, then why not support him? Nobody is unelectable.

If we do not support Sharpton and Kucinich, our "liberal" candidates will shift further and further to the right, until we might as well disbandon the DNC all together. Then what?

[tlcandie]

51. I found that interesting as well that Kucinich was not that far left

according to this chart! VERY interesting...

We only have two possible candidates to chose from .. Hmmmm PLUS, it says we are greens living in a dem world.. go figure :hi:

[Loyal]

50. Here's mine:

Your political compass:
Economic Left/Right: 1.88
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.28

[mainegreen]

52. Hey!

I think you got the first positive value!

[Loyal]

54. Haha

yep :P

[_NorCal_D_]

64. Republican spy!

B-):bounce:

[elperromagico]

53. Left/Libertarian

Economic Left/Right: -7.38
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.64

I took a quiz like this back in high school. On a scale of 1-30, 1 being extremely liberal, 30 being extremely conservative, I came out as a twelve. At the time, I was deeply surprised. I took it a couple of years later to see if anything had changed. I came out as a 5 that time.

I'm not so surprised any more. I have too much of a conscience to be a Republican.

[rasputin1952]

55. I expect Ashcroft to be knocking on my door...

right after he gets some of those other pinko's that scored lower than me.

Economic Left/Right: -6.88

Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.08

At least I'll have some good company when they come to get me. Great minds think alike.

:bounce:

[GreenArrow]

56. Leftward Ho!

-8.50

-7.18

Guess I have a lot of compromising to do.

[not systems]

58. took it last month

Economic Left/Right: -2.0
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.0

Pragmatic anarchist I guess.

[Northwind]

59. Do I really need to take this every other month?

Economic Left/Right: -8.88
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.56

[QuestioningStudent]

61. Hmm....Interesting.

I feel...alone. Still, that's why I love this place--interesting discussions with those who don't agree with me on everything. What better way to figure out the validity of your beliefs, right?


Economic Left/Right: 9.12
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.38

[_NorCal_D_]

62. Here I am.

Economic Left/Right: -4.50
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.28

B-)

[durutti]

65. -8.75, -7.69

[Shyriath]

66. I feel proud...

Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.92

Though, compared to others who've posted their scores in this thread, I feel almost Bush-ish. :7 :shrug:

[burr]

67. sorry...

how can anyone answer questions on a test which do not have logical or "subject related" answers? I got a zero on my test! Does this make me unpatriotic?
