Default Political Compass Test

I took this test like a year ago, I thought mine might have changed. But it seems to be around the same....

You can take it over here...

These are my old results from over a year ago...

Economic Left/Right: -7.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.13

Not much has changed, graphically it is around the same area....

I seem to have moved a little further right on the economic scale but further libertarian(?) on the social scale.

I believe the questions have changed some...

Whattya know, my graph looks almost the same as yours.

It feels great to be in the same corner as Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama images/smilies/biggrin.gif.

Economic Left/Right: -7.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.95

What I don't understand about you hippies is that you complain about government interfering in the social aspect (censorship, stupid drug laws, etc.), but you're fine with the government interfering with the economy (ie. spending the toils of your labour from January to June on whatever it pleases). images/smilies/dunno.gif

I'm almost right in the middle, I guess I'm wingless. Probably becasue I don't really keep up with politics.

Nothing to do with politics? A lot of those "things" mentioned in the test aren't really meaningful unless you look at it from a political standpoint, especially the first few pages. I don't follow polotics enough to know where I stand on "economic globalisation" and "predator multinationals" images/smilies/biggrin.gif
