Originally Posted By: Lilith just so you know most people around here score about (-8,-8) on the political compass Again, according to Aran's stats, the average is actually around (-5, -3). Perhaps the median is further in the third quadrant, but not by that much. Jack Chick: Niven's Sixteenth, everyone.

Quote: Your political compass Economic Left/Right: -9.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.03 This is quite a big shift to the left from the latest graph Aran plotted me on ('07), but not much of a change from when I took the test sometime last year.

Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Are these questions even fair? Granted, I ended up where I thought I would be, but I can't help but feel that this test leads most people towards the bottom left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I took it and ended up surprisingly close to where it says Ron Paul is...and I know I have serious disagreements with Ron Paul, so I'm not sure how accurate it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Yup, time for a new thread. I don't feel like taking the test right now, but I have drifted down and left a bit over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the problems with the test: it leaves out issues such as monetary policy and gun control, which means it's a really rough approximation. Also, not much different since the last time I took this test: Economic: 10.00 Social: -7.79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Fascinating. I'm really curious if the people who play Jeff's games as a whole are so overwhelmingly from the lower quadrant of the compass, or just the the group that populates these forums... And whatever the answer to the above questions is, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Economic Left/Right: -3.12 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.10 I'm not surprised by these results. Most of the issues I could come up with a middle ground. Honestly I think this isn't the greatest poll; I noticed several questions that were loaded one way or another, but for being free I'm not going to complain.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 If Will will let me hijack one of his wikis, I might copy over a nifty bit of code that allows me to plot political compass results onto a unified grid. It's great for comparison of different results, and it even gives averages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been through it question for question with a couple of people, and found that on several of the questions their understanding of the meaning of the question was completely different to mine. So different, that it was as if they were answering a completely different question. Maybe that is intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
