Where are you on the political compass?

[8ball]

Silly political compass.

Hands up who isn't Tony Benn?

<tumbleweed>

Thought so . . .

Ok, http://www.urban75.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=4835987&postcount=88 is where the interesting correlation was plotted (last time)

Basically, there is no obvious {join date : auth/lib} correlation, but the economic left/right axis gets more diverse with later registration dates. Before 2005, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone over -5 on the X axis. 2005 and after, things spread across the 0 to -10 range with the odd +ve blip.

Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.05

about where I thought I'd be to be honest....

Astrology accurately explains many things.... Fucken Daily news Star charts? I wonder where they rated that question (left or right?)

**runs off to start website with it's very own "left/Right Compass" and includes questions like ...
1)Do you believe in pixies?
2)Was Princess Di really killed by Liz and Charlie or was she just drunk while sucking her new boyfriends dick in the back seat of the car and he kept screaming "FASTER" so the driver put his foot down and did 900 miles an hour round a hairpin corner?

...and makes compass show everyone to the Right up near Hitler so they will all have nervous breakdowns because they read a "political Compass" on the net and found out that their really further to the Right than Hitler!! ...**

i found this interesting. i'm a relatively lefty libertarian.

Ditto - close to the Nelson Mandela bit on the graph

 

[FiFi]

I'm in the same block as Ghandi and Nelson Mandela, and the polar oposite of Bush and Blair (Thank Goodness!)

I could not do that test. Some questions are just so vague. For example - "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." - can mean very different things to different people and I don't know what their understanding of it is.

Mind the point while you're jumping. Otherwise you might feel a bit of a prick.

That's pretty neat.

Anyways, I just did it for the nth time and got...

Economic Left/Right: -7.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.10

 

[fractionMan]

I've just searched back and I was bleating on about 'not this shit again...' in 2006 and 2005. The search doesn't go any further back than that

 

[davekriss]

-9.5/-9.03 a bit southwest of Noam Chomsky and Gandhi.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Pbman used to love that site.

 

[Prince Rhyus]

Hmm...

 

[MikeMcc]

Hmm...

You revived a 2 month old thread just to say Hmm? FFS why?

 

[8ball]

[northernhord]

Left of Karl Marx

[Larry O'Hara]

economic Left Right= -8.63 Social/Libertarian=-3.74 Seemed to place me close to Gandhi: but pacifist I ain't!!

 

[newharper]

Economic Left/Right: -9.50

Same as the last few times then.

[selamlar]

Economic Left/Right: -9.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.67

 

[Guineveretoo]

I have done this loads of times before, but I seem to be moving back towards the left as I get older!

Now, that is weird!

I am now left libertarian, when I am sure I was more middleish last time I did it...

Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.87

more left wing and libertarian than ghandi or the dalai lama

 

[Fruitloop]

Economic Left/Right: -9.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.79

Moving economically to the left, socially a little to the right, although some of that was due to the silly questions I think. Astrology indeed! Must be a right-wing thing

 

[fractionMan]

I'm the square root of -1
