However, the chart shows most people in the left libertarian area by Gandhi. I would think most people graphed would be by Margaret Thatcher and Jerry Eichenberger.... Hmm, weird.....I smell a government conspiracy..... Maybe this is an eye opener for many people not sure where they lay politically. Well done, Paladin! |

Title: Re: Political Compass Post by Jay on 01/02/09 at 18:23:24 Well, the test is biased to the left. Questions like "The businessperson and the manufacturer are more important than the writer and the artist.", made as an absolute statement, leave no room for middle ground. No thinking person would place greater importance on the economic side without a balanced view of the need in a society for the arts. Similarly, a society that focused solely on the arts would soon find itself full of starving artists! Equally biased is the question "It is natural for children to keep secrets from their parents.". Of course it's natural, but that doesn't make it right or desirable from the parents view; or necessarily in the childs best interest. Questions like those on the test are designed to skew results to a more liberal bent. Now that I've gotten off my soapbox, my scores are as follows: Economic Left/Right: -5.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.18 I've always considered myself to be a social liberal and economic conservative. In other words, do whatever you want; just don't expect me to pay for it! While the results may be interesting/surprising, I'm not sure if such a flawed test will really tell us anything about ourselves or each other. |

Who needs them? Frivolity,thats all that is. Business makes the world go round. |

Title: Re: Political Compass Post by Jay on 01/03/09 at 21:07:22 "Jay, a poll with 2 answers kinda has to have the questions worded that way. If there are only 2 answers to choose from where would "middle ground" fit?" Well, you've answered your own question really. "Niether agree nor disagree" would have been a good start towards the middle. We only had "agree, stongly agree" or "disagree, stongly disagree" to choose from. The addition of "strongly" in either category merely gives the illusion of greater choice, and was unnecessary. Having to choose between two absolutes negates any middle ground, and will skew results in one direction or the other, as we've seen in this poll. Several who've taken it have intimated that the results were not consistent with their core beliefs. That type of result can only be due to skewing in the poll itself. Had the answers been only "agree" or "disagree", it would have been easier to spot the defect in the poll. Hence, I imagine, the addition of the two similar and, in my opinion, unnecessary answers. |

I took a couple classes in college on puplic opinions and how to make, and give surveys/polls, and a survey can be designed to look for absolutes leaving out the bailout answer of "neither agree or disagree." Sure, a poll can be designed to direct the responses in a particular direction. I don't see that here since the choices are consistant. However, I pause and realize I'm defending a poll that I have nothing to do with. So why waste the time? Maybe just look at the poll as fun and a way to kill a little time. |

Title: Re: Political Compass Post by serowbot on 01/04/09 at 10:42:19 I don't think the questions are biased....You can go right or left, and the conservative wing is more black and white in their thinking, generally, than the left... But, the question for me is,...where did he determine the center to be?...That strikes me as being somewhat to the right, and therefore is skewing the results to the left on the chart. Fun to see the spectrum of our group though, anyway... |

Title: Re: Political Compass Post by forrest on 01/04/09 at 13:27:05 One other thing about surveys. Generally a "no opinion" answer is rejected and not used in the equation; other than changing the number of answers factored into the survey. |

True; but were talking about core beliefs here. To revisit the statement "The businessperson and the manufacturer are more important than the writer and the artist.", I don't personally believe either is more importatnt than the other. I belive we need both in a balanced society. To have only artists and writers would likely lead to starvation; whereas to have nothing but business and manufactoring would render us well fed, but souless. Yet I wasn't given the option of stating what I really believed, I merely had to choose from the offerings given to me by an outside influence. An influence whose true agenda is rather murky to detect, at least to me. Granted, given a ""worse case scenario" I suppose I would pick the business/manufactoring angle (I need to eat), but again that doesn't address my core beliefs, just what I would do if faced with a survival situation. That doesn't tell us anything about what we belive makes up a healthy, balanced society; just what we fall back on if that society breaks down. In fact, some of the questions, to me, did not even make sense. The one which stated that all children keep secrets from their parents left me thinking "Well, duh!" What does that teach us? Every child keeps secrets from their parents. In the end, I suppose it's best to ascribe to this what has already been said, it's a fun way to waste a little time; but I wouldn't put too much wieght in the results. |

I read fiction, and I write technical papers. And I look at art (mostly what the L reaction) and mechanical art (that's what appeals to me, go figure) So you currently have 100's of cars to choose from, which one do you choose? You can narrow it down by price, performance, fit and function. Then it comes down to looks. Would you rather be seen in a Rolls, or a Lambourgetti? |

Besides the greats works of visual art Michelangelo has created, he also invented machines of war. And he did this to be employable. Writers and artists must eat just like the rest of us. If their art does not provide, they will search for a job that makes use of their talent. |

Title: Re: Political Compass Post by mick on 01/06/09 at 02:52:00 I am a art lover,in fact on my trip to Paris I spent most of my time in the "Musee de Orsy" that have nothing but impressionist paintings, Degas,La Trec,Vincent van Goch,and many others,while I appreciat all of there works and realy enjoy looking at them, I got much more enjoyment at the model engineres exibition in Earls Court in London,and at the science musium ,also in London. That being said it was a difficult question for me to answer,I chose Art for the simple reason I see art every where,the beautiful lines of a Ducati,the simplicity of a Manx Norton,to me are art forms, art is a combernation of business and pleasure. If you go into a coffee shop and order a piece of pie that is exactly what you get ,if you order the same thing in a 4 star restaurant ,you get some thing that is not just tasty but some thing with eye appeal. I don't know where I am going with this ,but I'm sure you get the idea. |

Title: Re: Political Compass Post by Jay on 01/07/09 at 23:22:52 Part of the problem with this poll was its insistence on drawing its participants into deciding between two, often, diametrically opposing points of view; as with the bussiness versus art question. It reduced core beliefs to opposing sides, with out the consideration of the possibility of a third. The shade of grey, if you will. So instead of this, A vs B an opposing viewpoint (the poll) you can get this, A (best) + B (best) = C(ab) a triangulated viewpoint that can draw from the very best of both "A" and "B" (life) |

We can use statistics to create categories to partition people, but there is always more variation within the categories than there is difference between the categories. Lets just rejoice in the fact that so many diverse individuals all love to ride the same machine. |

Title: Re: Political Compass Post by Hard Corps on 02/16/09 at 20:45:08 Economic: 0.0 Libertarian: -1.64 I guess I'm pretty centrist? I'm may be the most open-minded gun-toting, religious, humanitarian, environmentalist you've met. But I know what I think, and why. Prove me wrong through logic (not rhetoric) and I'll change my mind. I am extremely conservative morally, but believe the government should butt the h377 out of our personal business. For example, I personally believe homosexual activity (not feelings/orientation) is immoral, but only as much as heterosexual promiscuity is--nothing to judge or shun, just one choice people make in life that I happen to think is less than the best (but, again, how many "less than ideal" choices of lifestyle do I have? too many) [my gay friends know this about me and accept it, because I accept and love them- sexuality is personal and should stay that way]; but it's certainly none of the governments d@mn business what goes on in your bedroom. Likewise, I don't smoke pot, but I don't think possession of small quantities for personal use should be a crime. If you want to strip naked, paint yourself blue and sit in your basement eating daisies and watching Bollywood movies, while you reload shotgun shells, hey, it's a free country, brother. I am against globalization for the most part, and also believe the government should butt out of our commercial business. America first, and the little man is the big priority. Get rid of the USDA, OSHA, the FDA, the DEA and the BATFE. Let the buyer beware. If I fry my donuts in motor oil, I'll go out of business soon enough. If I want to buy steel from China to make knives, they'll be a great price point, but won't compare to American blades. If I put my employees in hazardous conditions, eventually I won't have very many employees and my business will fail. ATFE should be a convenience store. The market will decide. I am generally opposed to the actions of most large financial institutions, and conglomerate corporations. I avoid buying unnecessarily from WalMart, Microsoft and a host of others. I like to keep my money local. But I'm a strict capitalist. If you don't work, you don't eat. And charity work is none of the government's business, either. Americans donated more out of pocket to help the Tsunami victims than the US Gov't. did. I've worked for the Salvation Army, donate my time regularly to a plethora of charities and give money to support overseas medical work in India and clean water in Africa. I am a "Nazi" for education. I think reading, writing, and arithmetic are foundational, but rote memory is worthless without the ability to critically analyze and debate logically. On the other hand, I think compulsory public education is a sham. I know people with Master's degrees who can't spell. This used to be called illiteracy. I think murderers, rapists and child-molesters should be put to death, but I don't think SWAT teams should be able to raid organic food co-ops for violating some obscure FDA regulation. The cops should have the right to shoot known felons who assault them, but they shouldn't have the right to search my car or my house without the governor's signature or senate approval. I think our military should be the most well-equipped and most-powerful on earth, but I don't think we should go sticking our noses where they don't belong. I'm all for killing terrorists. But I'm against creating more by camping out in the sacred territory of their holy land and running over their goats and children with tactical vehicles. I'm in favor of using force to stop oppression, but don't figure we need to try and make every nation on earth conform to our way of thinking/government. I believe in fiscal responsibility. I don't use credit. If I don't have the cash, I guess I'm not buying it. I'll build a cabin on a small plot of land with my own two hands, and pay for it a nail at a time. So why should our government force its citizens into indebtedness for the next innumerable generations? If a company fails, it fails. Let the chips fall where they may. If someone can't afford a $500k house, let them rent an apartment. There's no constitutional right to an oversized SUV and McMansion. Why should anyone be bailed out? On the other hand, someone has to take care of the disabled, the injured and the dispossessed; especially the veterans who have sacrificed their limbs and mental health on the altar of unconsitutional "police actions". If you think government run health-care is the answer, look at the miserable excuse we call the VA. If you think government can educate us, look at the dropping test scores. If you think government can fix the economy, who do you think got us in this mess in the first place? If you think the government can protect you, wait 9 minutes for the cops to arrive when a thug is in your house with a gun. (And I used to be a cop...) If you think the government can protect the food supply and regulate medicines, look at the peanuts, the melamine milk and the side-effects of half the pharmaceuticals on TV. From driving around in Missouri, I'm pretty sure they can't even do that well building roads. So what are they good at? Lying and stealing. Any surprise? I guess I'm a strict Constitutional, Capitalist, Charity-driven, Small-government, Libertarian Environmentalist. I believe in voluntary socialism. I give to friends in need and don't turn away from a brother who asks for help. But governmentally coerced socialism is theft and discourages personal accountability and responsibility. I have a military mindset, but was raised to question authority. I believe that authority and respect are earned not granted. I hate partisan politics and think both the Republicrats and Demogogues are spineless fascists, with no shred of concern for anything other than their own wallets and sense of power who want to control every part of your life from your income to your education, your healthcare and your retirement. Who needs the bums? Throw 'em out, I say! It's supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. Maybe we aren't free anymore, because too few are brave enough to face the consequences of life and fend for themselves. I would love to see a third or fourth party sweep these yea-hoo's out of Washington and blend the commonalities of the hippies and the Amish, with the writings of the Founding Fathers. That would be change I can believe in. My $.02. Adjusted for hyperinflation. |

Title: Re: Political Compass Post by ineclipse on 03/12/09 at 09:57:20 anarchism is on the graph, but there are no questions on that test that should distinguish an American liberal from an anarchist. every question presumes the existence of a state and law. you cant trick an anarchist into agreeing with hierarchy of command by saying something like, "Do you believe it should be illegal for multinational corporations to rape impoverished indigenous peoples?" Yes, I have a very earnest resistance to such actions, but I believe there should not be law to force anyone into doing anything. So you are out of context in both facets. And those businesses sprawled out of an earth tilled by an oppressive government in the first place, that granted power to those with a greater pursuit in profit than in human well being. Just wanted to point that out. /The questions in this test are too vague to depict anything more than American liberal in a free market, or an American conservative in the same boat. You goin right or left? I see it being nothing more than a way to springboard ourselves into the much more beneficial world of communication, and I commend those with a relationship to their politics and morals similar to Hard Corps. Thanks for you willingness to clarify all this test could not. but crappity smack it: Economic Left/Right: -6.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.36 Much love, Luke. |

Title: Re: Political Compass Post by Louisiana_Geezer on 07/24/09 at 08:01:51 I'm a bit surprised at my own score (that puts me in the bottom right quadrant), but near the center. I found many of the questions very troubling, especially in view of the fact that I was once involved in developing just such a test for Carnegie-Melon University. Despite their claims to the contrary, communism and fascism have similar ends. |

Title: Re: Political Compass Post by Duane on 08/25/09 at 13:15:37 Well I sometimes call myself a libertarian but that's only because most people don't know what anarchist means. Most people hear you're an anarchist and they think you're getting ready to throw a bomb at a building. ~ Robert Anton Wilson |
