Comparitive Politics of RF Members.

[Draka]

I was wondering why there were no options for "neither agree nor disagree" because some could go wither way depending on circumstances.

True. Also, some of the questions were so loaded that you HAD to either strongly agree or disagree. If you didn't do either, you would be a jerk.

*nods* I think the chart has me a little more left than I should be.

 

[Father Heathen]

I think the questions are loaded.



Even if people think some cultures are superior to others, are they really going to refer to them as ''savages'' ?

I consider cultures that commit savagery and barbarism savage and barbarous.

[Buttercup]

Traitor!

 

[Aquitaine]

Economic Left/Right: -6.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.10

Personally though, I don't much like those types of questionnaires since the questions are usually loaded and I don't think they give an accurate conclusion, but anyways - there you go

Is it just me, or are all of us from an eastern world view- Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. more toward Communism or Socialism? LOL. I know I am

Most of the westerners who practice Hinduism are leftist or apolitical:yes: that I know personally. I have also noticed some of that with the Buddhists. I have only meet 3 people who where conservative who practiced Hinduism in America. They are welcome they just are not that common.
I have also noticed that wiccans tend to be left only not in such extreme numbers. Quakers are lefties also. None of the above comments are from studies only my personal experience so I do not the accuracy of my statements.

It looks like I'm right in the wheelhouse for the prototypical RF member:

Your political compass

Economic Left/Right: -6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.64

There is definitively a strong trend for the members that have taken the test so far.

And yes - the questions are a rather blunt instrument for determining a person's leanings.

 

[Perfect Circle]

Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.26

Seems about on par with most others..

Jeez.. did you copy my answers?

A very blunt instrument, like the question on marijuana, as Draka pointed out it is yes or no, someone who would be against it for recreational use only but in favour of it for treatment has to say they want it legalised, this doesn't necessarily mean you are liberal, imo. It seems loaded towards a more liberal result.

 

[McBell]

Where do you feel like you should have been?

I have no idea.
Some people have told me that I should be in the most upper right corner
others have told me that I should be dead center
others have told me that I should be lowest left corner.

Mostly I get told that I should be slightly off center of the funky green coloured square.

 

[The Voice of Reason]

We're definitely getting a little crowded in that lower left quadrant.

 

[Riverwolf]

Here's where I stand. I don't know if a few of the questions were wholly accurate, as my economic/political vocabulary is rather rusty. But, oh well. I ended up roughly where I thought I'd end up.

 

[Mister_T]

Economic Left/Right: -3.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.69

Not sure how much that differs from the last time I took it, if at all.

What a shocker, the majority of RF (which consists of liberal thinkers) scored out on the left side of the chart.
Un-trucking believable!
