On the political compass. Interesting site I saw linked on another board and thought I'd share it here http://www.politicalcompass.org/ It has a test you can take (look on the menu for Take the test) and it plots your views on a compass. Surprisingly enough, when they show the presidential election candidates, the great majority are all on the right of the midline, interesting tie in to our other discussion about what party stands for what http://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2008 For what it's worth, my "dot" is about midway to the right, about half way down into the libertarian side.

I'm a Libertarian Left...interesting. My dot is basically on top of Gandhi's dot and others in my "square" include Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama - I guess I'm in good company :-)

That's exactly where I fall, and Ghandi too. I'm feeling pretty good about myself ;-).

Ha ha! I am a right wing economist with liberal social views, which actually does sound about right (except healthcare ;)

Well, I'm new here and, this is my first post. But, I have taken that test and, also had my youngest (16yrs) daughter take it for homeschool.


I came out Libertarian Right. Now, I have to go look up who Friedman is or was. I look pretty close to Authoratative, which surprised me. I didn't understand some of the questions, though.


My actual score is


Economic Left/Right: 4.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.56

Thanks for reading
