I just found out I'm more left wing Economically then Kusinich and Socially then Biden (which shows you how little this test is worth)
Economic Left/Right: -2.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.41
Well that's utterly ridiculous because who is going to write the damn test, tea baggers, who can barely comprehend anything more than the 10th Amendment (and actually don't do a very good job at that). Herman Caine who can't understand that you can not demand religious tests or ban the erection of religious buildings because he doesn't like a particular religion? Ron Paul who thinks that it is a violation of peoples rights to not be able to discriminate due to race, creed or national origin? Christine O’Donnell who believes that the Constitution is a covenant based upon "divine principles"?
Spare me before I vomit.
Nobody said anything about a test. Get off your partisan high horse.
Say if a government were run this way, what kind would it be:
Government paid healthcare for all citizens, strict immigration and border policies, capital punishment for any PROVEN crime that falls into a severe category, College education paid for by government along with possibly making a mandatory 2 year service duty, abortion allowed, gay marriage allowed, limited outsourcing in business to make American made more of a priority, higher taxes which go back to making everyone able to have equal medical/college funds.WHile also donating to less fortunate countries when they are in need. Is that a socialist?
I've taken the Political Compass test many times over the past few years and I always get about the same thing (except for when I know I've changed positions on things...then I expect a reflection in the results). I always come up to the right (about halfway between center and right) and a little above the middle line leaning toward authoritarian, which always surprises me.
The other links posted here all gave me right leaning libertarian results.
I would like to say the Political Compass is more accurate b/c it has more questions to go off of, and it's certainly consistent. But whether it's actually valid or not is a different story, considering I got the opposite results (on the libertarian/authoritarian spectrum) on the other tests.
My personal opinion is that I am more libertarian than authoritarian. I'm definitely conservative so that aspect is correct on all the tests.
To the OP, are you getting any kind of consistent results on any of the tests, like in my example above?
