Political Compass Thread

[Bono]

Economic Left/Right: 9.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.79

The social scale is getting more idiotic each time.
Apparently, i became more conservative both economically and socially.

haven't we all:

Economic Left/Right: -3.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.03


three and a quarter is my leftmost score yet, and I got it with a clean mind in the morning, taking the test before I read any newspapers or any on-line or radio or TV accounts of current events.

It's not unusual for my economic score to bounce around, though, and I've noted that my anarchist/authoritarian score hasn't changed.  It is always around -5.  Having taken the test about ten times over the past year I conclude that my politics are somewhat flexible, responding to external stimuli, and generally are pulled rightward when I start reading the news.  My up down score remains unaffected though.

anyone else notice this effect?

I notice it the opposite way. My social score greatly varies, but my economic score stays mostly the same.

Very good job.  A lot of the questions on the compass are flawed and try to create caricatures but I usually hover around the intersection.  I am 100% free market but I guess I get knocked over because I don't trust corporations that much. 

That's kind of my problem.

I am the most liberal Republican on the board, left of center in both the social and economic spheres.

I should either be proud of that, or ashamed, I'm not sure which.

I'm ashamed for you.

Wow, Al's my mirror.
