The Political Compass

Tearsong found a remarkable new site today - it's called The Political Compass, and basically, it measures a bunch of your political viewpoints and places you on a map along with other notable politicians.

This would be neat enough on it's own, but the authors of the site have gone a step further and abolished the traditional left-right scale and replaced it with a 2D left-Right x Authoritarian-libertarian matrix. It's pretty uncanny in it's accuracy, and my results certainly shocked me a bit! So much for being left-middle!

My Score:
Economic Left/Right: -7.25
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.62
 Basically what that means is that I'm a hard line lefty as far as economics go (industry must be regulated, corporations will NOT do the right thing if left to themselves, etc...) BUT i'm very libertarian when in comes to the personal freedoms of the individual - basically, if you're not hurting someone else, it's none of my, or the government's business. Some of my more radical views about the well off individual's responsibility to help those lost in the generational cycle of poverty landed me way in the corner of this little graph.

Find out where you lie on the political compass
