What's Your Political Compass? Test and Analysis

Before taking the test:
Please note that this isn’t a survey, and these aren’t questions. They’re propositions.

Snip...

To question the logic of individual ones that irritate you is to miss the point.

That’s how we can show you whether you lean towards extremism or moderation on the Compass.

Your responses should not be overthought. Some of them are intentionally vague.

Snip.. more...

I love it's in so many different languages.

And...

We're almost Exactly the same!

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.49
I'm just a wee bit more libertarian than you.

No surprises there! Hey?

Knew it would come to this, clicked the link anyway took the test, then closed without knowing because there’s no effing way I’m giving out my email.

Do the rest of you just not care who you give out your personal info to?

I didn't have to do that or pay. I'm getting some replies with really different issues here and I didn't encounter one.

I'm sorry that happened to you, Arthur_Frain.

I usually find these these things a bit reductive and not representative of my politics (not many questions on the environment. Not even one on animal welfare.) But at least more on corporations than in the past.

Economic L/R -5.88

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian - 5.28

On a few questions I kind of felt I could agree, or disagree (but not extra strong)
depending on thinking about certain aspects within the issue

Too bad I deleted the test which came up on a different tab.
So maybe I'd do it again trying remember how I answered the several more ambiguous ones for me, then switch those particular ones to the opposite answer. And see how much it changes.

I've become more liberal as I've grown older....at least since I last took this test!
