Well, while we're being all political here's something worth looking at:

http://politicalcompass.org/index

Go to "Take the test".

Here's mine:

I'm a leftist bastard, lawl

[Gio]

I don't agree with my results all the much........some of those questions i thought were sorta off the wall but it was pretty interesting

[Eugine]

http://politicalcompass.org/printablegraph...38&soc=0.51

I sort of agree with the results. I am center-right. Pretty cool that I am sorta close to Thatcher - one of my favourite political figures... I tried reading Milton Friedman Wiki, but my brain exploded.

[Gio]

Apparently you are pretty close to me on the graph.

[Nosferatu]

http://img378.imageshack.us/img378/841/pcgraphpnghw6.png

Almost right in the middle. Sounds about right to me.

[Someone Else]

Gio and I are nearly opposites.

[Eugine]

Thank God I am not one of those left-wing nuts.
EDIT: I love Ghandi though...

I didn't understand some of the questions. I'm going to re-take the test later.

[Nosferatu]

Thanks to WD I have come to this conclusion: If it wasn't for my opinions on sex, I'd be probably perfect middle, meaning I don't give a ****. Sounds right.

[Ironsight]

Some one explain "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" for me please.

[Eugine]

It's a marxist principle which states that a person must work as hard as he can, but consume only as much as he needs regardless of how hard he worked.

I sort of agree with it. I think it should be more of a personal responsibility rather than government forcing you.

[Toasty]

I misunderstood that one then. I figured it meant something like "take from a person according to his abilities, give to him according to his needs" which would be a socialist statement.

Same

Anyway, I'm slightly unsurprised by my results. Amazingly, I'm even more neutral than WD. :D

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/4161/pcgraphpngap2.png

Nos and I are almost the same, just leaning to a different side of the isle.

[Ironsight]

Ah, ok.
http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/9527/pcgraphpngnv5.png
I took the test again, but there was only a slight difference.
What's up with that astronomy question though? Is it asking that astronomy can explain fate? I guess so, since it's in the religious section...

[Toasty]

I believe it's talking about horoscopes. In which case, even if it's meant as an "Are you religious?" question, I say no. Horoscopes don't explain ****.

[Ironsight]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[Toasty]

I thought I was gonna be farther to the right. But hey, now I have some ammo to throw at GL if ever tries to call me a hardcore conservative (as in I'm heavily biased). :D

I think the wording would be a bit different though.

Huh, I'm just a little communist. xD

[Caael]

i'll take the full thing later, because theres 6 pages of questions.

i'll probably be really communist or something though

[Nosferatu]

http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/240/pcgraphpng2tn4.png

A friend of mine's. I showed the test to her and I saw this result coming.

[Blue]

Anarchy ftw.

[Mallick]

Nobody cares.

*eets the reply button*



jaykay, but quizzes like that are lame.

http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/2470/pcgraphpngphpzc2.th.pnghttp://img263.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif

About the same as WD. And I completely agree with the results.

[Saturos S.]

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j168/sstriker_photos/pcgraphpng.png

There are no famous people in my part. :D

[Legolastom]

If you were all the way to the right you wouldn’t be a hardcore conservative you would be fascist.

[Mallick]

Remember children, if it's not the right way http://www.ushmm.org/lcmedia/photo/lc/image/73/73495.jpg it's the wrong way.


I got slightly right and slightly authoritarian

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc152/bookking99/Images/pcgraphpngphpec-1.png

Hmm...

EDIT: That's weird...the image uploaded with the dot in a different place than my results showed...and I can't fix it. The dot should be lower than it is.

Well, here are my numerical results.
Economic Left/Right: -1.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.59

[Someone Else]

WTF I thought Toasty would be all the way in the top right.

[Moonear]

http://politicalcompass.org/facebook/pcgra...5&soc=-1.18

Hmm, about the same as Blue. I expected to get in the middle, but I guess this is pretty close.

EDIT: Weird, mine was about 2 more lines to the right.

[Saturos S.]

Meh, I knew I was right, but never thought I was that liberal.

... I guess I'm not that big a fan of social security as I thought.

I'm a neo-liberalist.

[Golden Legacy]

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n297/TerraSeraphim/pcgraphpngphp.png
Economic Left/Right: -4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.69


:D I want to be a neo-liberal. I'm taking this exam again later.

[Caael]

http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/4511/pcgraphpngphpjt3.png

Thought so

I'm close to Stalin and Ghandi :\

I'm pretty communist really

[Golden Legacy]

Wow, we're just about alike there Caael.

[Caael]

Except i'm a little more anarchist. Well, great minds and all that ;D

[Eugine]

I am close to Thatcher :D. Yeah!
She imo, is the greatest politician alive.

[Golden Legacy]

To disect my results a bit, it's understandable that I'm more liberal on economic and domestic issues than social issues. Having been raised extremely conservatively when it comes to things like sex, drugs, etc., I can see why I would be more moderate in that area.

Still glad to see I'm leftist, and in the same realm as Nelson Mandela, absolutely love the man.

[Eugine]

Come on. Thatcher is by far better than Mandela.
EDIT: I don't even see Mandela on the graph >_>
EDIT 2: I do now =)

[Caael]

Nelson Mandela one of the best voices of any person in the world, after Patrick Stewart

[Golden Legacy]

Nelson Mandela spearheaded the rise of the ANC to take down the apartheid regime after 40 years of racially oppressive rule. He spent 26 years in the Robben Island prison and yet still singlehandedly organized global support and initiative for his people and was the defining leader of the fall of the most radically racially crushing regime in the last half of the 20th century.

EDIT: here it is.

http://www.politicalcompass.org/images/internationalchart.gif

[Eugine]

Blah. I'm reading his record as President on his Wiki. He has no economic record. His story is excellent... His record sucks.
EDIT: His work for black freedom is excellent though.

Though honestly, I answered all the questions truthfully. Though there were two or three that I didn't quite understand.

[Legolastom]

Then take it again!

And what the hell Caael? You nowhere near Stalin.

[Saturos S.]

Y'know... that's why the world is f'd up. There are no Liberal neo-libertarians.

This world needs more people like me. That's some real change for ya.

[David]

Ok, I retook this test, and I finally managed to get the image right. Here are my real results:

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc152/bookking99/Images/MyPoliticalCompassResults.png

Hmm...Economic Left/Right: -0.50, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.44. They've changed a bit from last time...I wonder what's different...

[Laharl]

Economic Left/Right: -4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.31

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z254/laharl_the_slayer_07/pcgraphpng.png

similar to WD, GL etc

[Golden Legacy]

Very similar, nice results Laharl.

[Someone Else]

I think I might be the most extreme on this forum. XD; Besides Legolastom

[Caael]

Yeah, but Tom has a picture of Karl Marx and Stalin next to a box of tissues and tub of vaseline.

[Legolastom]

And Jebun krishnakanakanakanakanakawoowoo.

[Caael]

And Baba Tunday?

[Legolastom]

no.

[Caael]

D:

[Caael]

Bump for joy.

Retook the test after reading up on ****loads of stuff; formulating my own theories and the like and this is what I've got:

http://www.politicalcompass.org/facebook/p...5&soc=-4.97

Economic Left/Right: -7.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.97

Seems about right; while I'm all for Liberalism, in this day and age it's hard to give people freedoms without them exploiting them. Since the world is so heavily focused on individualism instead of collectivism, everybody is out for themselves and nobody else so restrictions are necessary.

[Legolastom]

Stop trying to beat me Tim you lose.

[Caael]

You were the one who got me interested in communism, but it's not a competition?

Hey you look like me earlier in the topic.

I'd take it again but I'm feeling lazy now, and I doubt my political views have changed that much. Maybe a little, but not much. I choose not to think about politics too much these days...

[Toasty]

What the hell. My original disappeared from the topic.

Either way, I still stand pretty much neutral, and this time I fully understood all but one or two questions.

The Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: 1.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.51

And now I'm:

So, I'm pretty much the same as before, bit more left wing apparently, but still largely right wing.

It means you can't use dynamic links in [img] tags. Duh.

The website displays the image with a PHP script. You input the coordinates of the dot on the graph, and it'll render the image accordingly. The guy isn't going to use an individual image for every possible result. That'd require 1,000,000 different images.

Therefor, the image is rendered, and no link to a solid image is provided. So really, you're not putting an image between the [img] tags, you're putting a PHP script there.

[Split Infinity]

If he doesn't know how to host images, I'll be darned if he understood any of that.

[Golden Legacy]

It was quite a good explanation nonetheless.

[Split Infinity]

True.

Also, lulz at calling my political stance nice. You're only saying that because we're in the same ballpark. xP

[Caael]

[Ironsight]

I'd try taking the test again, but I don't understand all of the questions, and the ones I don't understand sound the most important q:

[Golden Legacy]

That's probably what separates this test from others, the fact that there is no "neutral" option for any question you aren't sure of. It's either (strongly) agree or (strongly) disagree. What I've found though is that if you take the test several times and answer as best you can, you should still get the general area where you should be. Even if you aren't consistent with a few answers, it won't radically change your results.

There is a problem with it though. A lot of the questions (most of them, actually), can be interpreted in multiple ways. Some left, some right. Therefor, whether the answer to the question is deemed to be left, right, libertarian, or authoritarian is actually left up to the test designer. And thus, the test is flawed until the designer gives his viewpoints and insight into the meanings of the questions.

I'm pretty sure that if I knew what their stance on the questions were, I'd be more up and to the right on the scale.
