Likely no where. My political views are, to say the least, atodds with modern basic assumptions. As a result, and sicne both the COnservitives and the Liberals share those basic asusmptions but intepet them differnelty, likely I'd not really be the sort of person the questions are addressed to, and my answers wuld be misleading.

Still, I'll give it a go tomorrow.

Nevermind, I had soem free time and did it tonight.

My results.

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -1.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.49

I am apparently a left leaning sort... odd.

But the questiosn where...difficult to answer.O tink they need a neutral option, somethign besides "Strongly Disagree" and "Dsagre" and "Agre" and "Strongly Agree".


I'm nto really all that Liberal economicaly. Nor as indicated here. Then again the Econoic modle I propose is boudn in my Monarhcism and Neo-Fudal sort of thinking, so not relaly associated with how rhe test is designed.

Hehe, I always show near Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and the Dalai Lama on these tests. I wouldn't reject the notion that this test is reliable...

You know, I wonder what those questions about religion were about. "Some people are naturally unlucky", for example. How does that question translate to an axis of the political compass?

yea I wondered about that too. liberaterians are very mixed up anyway. what they have done si tried to consract a Johari window for the political spectrum. so they are mixing interpseronal communication theory with political stcuture.
