just to more visibly "see" where posters in politics fall, can there be a politics plane test that everyone takes and post only the results to?

http://www.politicalcompass.org/index this is moderately good

i like this one better, questions are better, clearer

good idea?

bad idea?

I'm a social libertarian, but not a libertarian on what the government should/can do for its people.

Gee...big suprise...I'm all the way to the left...and almost all the way libertarian.

The only thing I answered in a more conservtive note was the idea that children should sometimes be spanked.

But I hit the bottom left corner on the chart.

Amazingly, George W Bush is a polar opposite to me...who would ahve thought that...and I am actually more liberal than the Dali Lama and Nelson Mandela...who would have thought that?

you guys miss what section of the forum this was in?

but thanks for responding...

took the first one? i tried it too and answered the same as you on that one. Agree, but not Strongly agree.

The things I'm thinking about now would require a new set of test parameters...

when i took the second test several months ago, i thought the result was close enough, obviously it represents a general area you'd likely put yourself in.

like what?

I'm not even sure what to call it yet.

oh, and should this just be moved to politics instead of forum feedback? haha

I don't like to be 'pinpointed' by these, since the questions are still too general, IMO.

Me : 'You are a center-right moderate social libertarian. Right: 1.54, Libertarian: 1.22'

I think I would be farther off center (more right, more libertarian) if the questions were more specific.

It's a snapshot.

exactly. it's just a basis to show a general area.. could be used to direct conversation or to "try to think from their POV". why this thread was started in forum feedback.

almost dead center.

Compass:

You are a far-right social libertarian.

Right: 8.43, Libertarian: 7.07

Some of these questions are still poorly worded.

yes

I didn't take the test ........ but I did lock and load.

Compass:

You are a left social moderate.

Left: 3.87, Libertarian: 0.16

First one has the red dot in the lower left...

http://www.politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=-4.88&soc=-4.56

Economic Left/Right: -4.88

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.56

The second test says:

I am a left moderate social libertarian

Not sure how to get the graphs to display.

from august 09... but i'm thinking i might have done it a tad before that...

thought the questions back then ...some were vague at best.
