Check your political compass
Left, Rightl, Up, Down?
[link|http://politicalcompass.org/|http://politicalcompass.org/]
My political compass
Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.62
Which puts me in the area of Ghandi and Nelson Mandela

All I can say is that a closet liberal should score
something like this...
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.12
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.33

Why, think of everything you've got.

What, again?
Just to verify, I took it again and am still to the left of Ghandi
Economic Left/Right: -7.25
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.85
-----------------------------------------
It is much harder to be a liberal than a conservative. Why?
Because it is easier to give someone the finger than it is to give them a helping hand.

Re: Check your political compass
Left/Right\t\t -8.25
Lib/Auth\t\t -2.62
I scored less in the libertarian area because some things, like gays adopting kids, I feel to be wrong. I've become tremendously more anti-corporate in recent years. I've drifted from bottom center to middle-left. But, I was about where Ghandi and Mandela were, and that's nice. I'm also the polar opposite of Bush :)

My scores have changed a little.
I think some of the questions are different from the January version.
L/R = -0.88 (vs +0.75 in January)
A/L = -2.77 (vs -4.21)
<looks at the graph...>Jean Cretien?!?!
Cheers,
Scott.

I broke down and took it
Economic Left/Right: -2.25
Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.56
Close to hitting the middle. Slightly to the left by two spaces and authoritan by one space. I am a moderate after all on my viewpoints. Close to Pope John Paul II on that chart. Of course I am Catholic and follow the Pope. :)

OK, then
Your political compass

Not nearly as extreme as I (or even Marlowe) might have thought....

Moving right 1 whole click, and Libertarian a smidgen.
BeeP's having an effect on me......I'm melting...

Pretty much as expected
Economic Left/Right: 5.38
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.77
But wow, reading through the thread the last we did this, I've moved right and down quite a bit.
I still don't like a lot of the questions.

Fine, I'll pitch in.
Economic Left/Right: -7.12
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.72
Ghandi, the Greens, and I all get along quite nicely.
The universe makes no sense until you accept that God uses base 13.
Even then, it's still pretty dodgy.
