Mercer Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Wondering if anyone has played with this before, its a method for gauging where you lean as far as main stream political ideology. The vertical Axis defines where you sit on the Totalitarian VS Libertarian spectrum , the horizontal axis defines where you stand on the economic spectrum (redistribution, vs private property rights). https://www.politicalcompass.org/test Not really accurate considering I'm an anarchist, and should fall somewhere outside of, or at least below libertarian: My wife answered some questions different than I would have but scored almost identical: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrasivesaint Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Damn near Noam Chomsky. Edited July 24, 2019 by abrasivesaint Wait, i just remembered it said the positioning of caricatures wasnt accurate, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrasivesaint Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Interesting positioning though, i thought i’d be more towards the low center of the graph. I guess it makes sense though. I started fucking with Chomsky at a very young age. While kids in class were struggling with concepts in Animal Farm i was reading Media Control, Profit Over People, and The Umbrella of US Power. Edited July 24, 2019 by abrasivesaint So i guess this is pointless if the positioning is pointless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 I don't think the test is all accurate, and also don't agree with the placement of some of the people on there. Not a huge Milton Freeman fan (not a hater either) thought I'd place all the way to the bottom right, and imagine that's where Ludwig Von Mises belongs as well, hands down favorite author up there.

abrasivesaint Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Also that whole Animal Farm/ Chomsky comment came off way more snobby than i meant, i’m still a moron. So there’s no confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) I’ve got a feeling nobody on this forum rises above the authoritarian side of the political axis. It would be entertaining to watch the mental gymnastics of a boot licker rationalizing their love affair with rap letters.

Fist 666 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Close enough. I thought I'd be closer to the vertical line. I didn't like phrasing for about half of the questions, but what are you gonna do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 We are probably all answering most of the questions with either 'strongly agree' or 'strongly disagree'. Would imagine if taking this test again and limiting responses to only 'agree' or 'disagree' the plot would be in a different quadrant. Maybe. I would describe myself as libertarian right based on this thing. There wasn't even a single firearms question on this survey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, dont remember that.. that would definitely stir the pot a little bit. I was actually using agree and disagree a fair amount. There’s some issues i have my opinions on, but i’m not whole hog and will consider a valid argument against my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 This test is skewed to towards the bottom left because of the way many of the questions are worded. As an ancap (Very Rothbardian) myself, I should be as far as possible towards the bottom right off of the chart. All Anarchists probably don't belong on the chart at all. The test put me and my wife next to Milton Freedman (lib right) which is close considering he's a Libertarian Economist, but he's from the Chicago School, which most Austrian School economists like myself dismiss as too mainstream/compromising. I don't think it's possible to make this truly accurate but it's fun to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
