Political Compass Test

But only a little

 

[Augustus]

Thomas 'Leviathan' Hobbes near the centre of authoritarian/libertarian? Thomas "by definition, all acts of the sovereign/monarch are just" Hobbes a centrist? Thomas "democracy leads to anarchy" Hobbes is significantly less authoritarian than both candidates in the last US Presidential election (as is Fidel Castro)?

Mussonlini on the economic far right?

 

[Enoch07]

A moderate /gasp!

Slight left lean this time, sometimes a right lean. I've taken this same test over the years I usually range from +2 or -2 from the center.

Youre almost all the way over here with me! Why stop now?

If you actually look at Trump's words from the horse's mouth and not taken out of context by so-called "journalists" wanting clicks and retweets, he's a pretty middle-of-the-road guy on most things. Even his stance on the border and foreign policy are pretty standard 2000's Democratic fare.

Trump now basically has Bill Clinton's politics as President from the 90's. Hell Bill wanted to build a border wall and the Democrats gave a standing ovation!

Didn't see that. It's a pretty lame disclaimer though. "We didn't really bother to look at their views, but thought it would look pretty with some faces on it. We hope we got them in the correct quadrants at least [*Narrator: they did not*], and have put them in some kind of approximate order within these, but it's not our fault if they are wrong. It's basically clickbait, who cares if it's misleading?"

You've basically summed up all of advertising. Who cares ehn it gets people attention?

It would appear I've move a bit farther to the left than the last time I took this.

Economic Left/Right: 0.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.77

ETA: Hmm...just .25 more to the left, so not as much as I thought, though I have moved more Libertarian by 1.08. Political Compass Results

"While the caricatures have been placed in the quadrants appropriate to their political views, we have not attempted to place them accurately within their quadrants. Aesthetics took priority over ideology in this instance. So before you write to us to complain that we have Sanders to the left of Mandela, or that Ayn Rand believed in libertarianism only for the élite, consider that the certificate is designed to start conversations, not to settle bets.". -Pol compass website

Ayn Rand actually despised Libertarians.
I don't recall why...but it doesn't strike me as something worth knowing.

There should be a Groundskeeper Willie avatar right under Friedrich Hayek
(looking right up his skirt)....mid way between Milton Friedman & Ayn Rand.

Hey!!! You copied mine in Post #2. That's cheating!

Sorry. I was grumbling about the 'celebrity results' on the picture.

Uh-h-h, ... I don't think Willies avatars are allowed anywhere in RF, what with all the laws against indecent exposure, no?

Find a family friendly pic with me kilt draping downward instead of the usual.

I disagree. Enquiring minds wanna know. Probably a disappointing affair or romance behind it. I hear that the reason there's no Nobel Prize in Mathematics is because Nobel found out that his wife was having an affair with one.

For anyone who dislikes the quiz, I'm happy to take recommendations of better ones. I just wanted something free and relatively short we all could take. Isidewith is much worse IMO.

Ackkk! That explains the cause for my puzzlement. Thanks!

[Thank goodness there's always at least one person in the crowd who reads the fine print.]

I am always in the red square. Tumah and I seem to be the only ones there though.

Depending on the issue being asked about, I flip hard red. But they ask about a mix of issues on the quiz and then generalize you to a single point. Authoritarianism is the only way, for example, that the human-induced ecocide will get resolved. Humans will not do this on their own, even when they start running themselves into the ground as they have. I'm not the only environmentalist that has observed this sad truth. Most of us hope it isn't a truth.
