Just wanted to add in my new Political Compass test result:

Economic Left/Right: -9.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -10.00

Getting a -10 social means you believe in astrology (one of many reasons why the PC is terrible).

Actually, I think that makes you more authoritarian. It has to do with predetermined destinies of something ridiculous like that.

Which is an even better reason why Political Compass sucks.

A thread about Political Compass was a non-political forum I visit. It was depressing to see people take the results as gospel.

It makes sense to me, actually. Faith in astrology is irrational, reflects a lack of independent thought tempered with efforts to actually go fact-hunting, and thus a vulnerability to the smoke and mirrors demagoguery and manipulative rhetoric that social dominators use to win over hearts and minds of authoritarian followers. The more libertarian types of folk tend to be are more skeptical, seem likelier to see through such rubbish, and carefully build their own worldviews rather than just trust someone else.

The trouble here is that some self-described libertarians are very susceptible to authoritarian ideas but it just so happens that their trusted authority figures and sources of moral authority have told 'em that the government is untrustworthy, that American values include self-reliance and U.S. exceptionalism, etc. Positions matter, that is to say but so, too, do the underlying rationales for them.

On the whole I have to agree with you that it isn't a great test.

As a left-wing American, I cannot say that these results surprise me. Despite some various shortcomings, I'd be a pretty reliable Labour voter, which is exactly how I would vote in the upcoming election.

euprofiler says Labour is to the right of Conservatives and even BNP! Meanwhile the Lib Dems are the most "socioeconomic left" of the the main parties. They must be stuck in Cleggmania mode.

What is your Political Quotient

I got 26.55, which according to this image puts me a bit to the right of Charlie Stenholm.

12.4



On most of the abortion related matters, I voted with the Republicans because of the fiscal impact, not because I'm pro-life. Other than that I agreed with Republicans on all but three things (Paycheck Fairness Act, DC and Utah representation, and shutting down Guantanamo Bay).

the test is from 2009. They need to update it and make it more accurate. The charts, esp. the 7-dimensional polar coordinate system, are pretty cool.

My PQ was 66.96, to the left of Kennedy a bit. My favorite thing about that "graph" is that it shows Barney Frank from Mississippi, but I guess that it is expected coming from the author of "Left Turn: How Liberal Media Bias Distorts the American Mind".

My PQ is 94.93.
I don't know how one gets a score over 100; I thought I took the liberal position on almost all questions.

I voted against Obamacare, cap and trade (I'd rather not create another gigantic economic bubble, thanks), increasing cigarette taxes, etc.

Horrible Test, how am I to the left of you?

My PQ turned out to be 73.73, though I think the reasons I opposed several of the bills were different than the quiz-maker may have anticipated.

I got a 31.3 on PQ. A bit surprised to find myself so centrist, but that's the American spectrum for you. A couple of the questions were just outright obstructionist viewpoints.

I got Green 50%, Labour 30%, Lib Dem 20%.

Like all these things, it's fairly easy to pick holes in.
