Interesting that!
4.75 left, 1.18 Social Libertarian. Given that it's out of 10 each that is actually a lot closer to being in the middle than I'd have said! |

That test was total bobbins. I gave every question considerable thought and answered each one honestly. My result put my dot virtually dead in the middle of the chart - 0.11 on the left/right and 0.05 on the libertarian/authoritarian scale - which is absolute nonsense. It placed me near the SNP politically which is laughable! I answered strongly agree for capital punishment, strongly disagree shirkers should get benefits, strongly disagree BBC should be public funded etc. Test absolute nonsense IMO.

Have you taken the test, Anxious?
|
|
By:
Anxious doesn't like it that the test says people like me have centrist views and his ilk are extreme lefties!
I'm warming to the test now! |

Economic Left/Right: -4.63

By:
anxious would be authoritarian left
I know about these things My authoritarian right status was screwed by me being kind to squirrels. |

By:
If Anxious took the test they're gonna need a bigger chart!

when we did the test at college in 1917 or some when like that, I didn't fit on the graph to the left - honest - we didn't give it quite enough squares!!! I am somewhat gutted at my current performance.

I read -4.13 for economic and 1.69 for authoritarian, not sure what that says about me and probably contradicts most that have an opinion about my posting.

Very close Blackbarn as is DStyle.

I always enjoy contributing to these threads as you pick up an understanding of where people you debate with are coming from.
I post with the caveat that I don't agree with the placings of the political parties on their graph. I suspect I may be quite lonely if we plotted all the results here onto a graph. Your Political Compass Economic Left/Right: 6.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.28 |

By:
It would be an interesting graph to do.
I think you would have company if those on the politics forum also contributed their scores. |
