The other test put me at 95% Gerald Ford.

I can understand what you meant, but I always tend to answer based on how I wish the world was. In practice, I'm really not as communist as I would appear. I just really enjoyed The Dispossessed.

I can understand what you meant, but I always tend to answer based on how I wish the world was. In practice, I'm really not as communist as I would appear. I just really enjoyed The Dispossessed.

I haven't read that, or any of Le Guin's books. I'll have to check it out.

De-railing my own thread here, but, YES, you must. It's great. While you're at it, read The Lathe of Heaven too.

Political Compass

Your political compass

Economic Left/Right: -0.63

This worked out to be 1 block off dead center --which is pretty much where I consider myself--a moderate--


The other one was harder to figure out what my score meant?

Your scored -0.5 on the Moral Order axis and -6.5 on the Moral Rules axis.
Matches
The following items best match your score:

1. System: Liberalism
2. Variation: Economic Liberalism
3. Ideologies: Progressive NeoLiberalism

If forced to define myself--I tend to say I am a Conservative Independent>

In reality my political viewpoints are entirely in question, If I am a Left Libreterian or Anarcho-Syndicalist, I have no idea, both ideologies interest me dearly.

I answered this test through an Anarcho-Syndicalist perspective.

First one is the more accurate of the two.
Your political compass

Economic Left/Right: -0.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.51

I lean slightly to the left in terms of economics and I hate authoritarian governments.
