Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / February 2008{OT} political compass
Several years ago Philip introduced us to The Politcal Compass, an online test that gauges your political leanings. http://www.politicalcompass.org/test I like to go back to it occassionally and see where I stand now. This time I took it and am embarrassed to say I am damn nearly right in the center of the spectrum. My score is: Economic Left/Right: 0.12 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.69 According to this test my views are in the mainstream and the most reasonable. This is rather disturbing because I have always been accused of people in this group of being a neo-con or some other radical thinking weirdo. Let's see where you stand now and if we have common ground.  Signature"Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the liberal, who wishes to replace them with others." ~ Ambrose Bierce, The Devils Dictionary Mine: Economic Left Right - 2.12 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: - .82 Almost a bull's eye--similarly, some here call me a neo-con. > Several years ago Philip introduced us to The Politcal Compass, an > online test that gauges your political leanings.

Economic: 2.00 Social: 1.33 I took the test a few years ago after Philip suggested it, but I didn't save the results. Signature"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

Where does the website say whether a person's views are reasonable or not? > This is rather disturbing because I have always been > accused of people in this group of being a neo-con or some other > radical thinking weirdo. According to the test, you're much more authoritarian than I am. > > Several years ago Philip introduced us to The Politcal Compass, an > > online test that gauges your political leanings.

Did you look at the iconochasms test? http://www.politicalcompass.org/iconochasms This is very revealing of politicians regarding what they say and what they do. > Several years ago Philip introduced us to The Politcal Compass, an > online test that gauges your political leanings.

I got 40 out of 49 right, usually by guessing and that the right answer was the person who seemed least likely to endorse authoritarianism. I knew the answer to the last question but didn't realize that GW Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, was among the people who plotted to overthrow the US government. >Several years ago Philip introduced us to The Politcal Compass, an >online test that gauges your political leanings.

If economic globalization is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations. No thanks.... SignatureScott in Florida |
