11 here... This quiz was quite US Geared though. I mean the presidents question I didn't have much idea about. If you live in the UK then www.politicalcompass.org is quite good. It work on a sort of x/y two dimensional system. One dimension is liberal/conservative, the other is left/right.

That's a far more interesting (and accurate) example.

I scored:
Economic Left/Right: -7.62
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -6.97

(Pretty much as expected)

Definitely a good one there, quisja--much better than the one I posted. But no one should be thrown off by the "if you live in the UK" part--the test is more or less free from national bias. Anyway, I scored -2.25 on the econonomic left/right scale, and -2.67 on the authoritarian/libertarian scale.

It's almost an honour, until you read the Iconochasms page?

quote:
The Dalai Lama who, in 1982, granted several audiences to, and received a donation of more than $1 million from Shoko Asahara, leader of the Supreme Truth cult of Japan, and spreader of sarin gas in the Tokyo subway.

Nelson Mandela who, in October 1990, six months after his own release from prison, travelled to Indonesia and received a $10 million donation from dictator Suharto to help party funds, while avoiding criticism of Indonesia's repressive policies, including political imprisonment.

And Mahatma Gandhi who, in May 1940, said : I do not consider Hitler to be as bad as he is depicted. He is showing an ability that is amazing and seems to be gaining his victories without much bloodshed.



Strange how these small discrepancies get brushed over.

Even Mother Teresa of Calcutta (already of dubious reputation with the right eyes)

quote:
was an enthusiastic and uncritical guest of the dictatorships of Haiti and Albania, and the phalangists in Lebanon.



Politics... the only thing, apart from religion, which I never hold against anyone.

I think that political compass thing IS a better deal than just a 1-dimentional line.

Economic Left/Right: -6.25
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -6.31

That puts me in the same quadrant as:
Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, The Dalai Lama, Naomi Klein, Eric Schlosser, Thomas Paine, Noam Chomsky and Ralph Nader.

yep...that's about it.

SOme of the questions arent really about politics though. It shouldn't be called the political compass if one of the questions is whether abstract art should be considered art or not.

"whether abstract art should be considered art or not" is actually a pretty pertinent political question.

I don't know about that second one...seems it's even more off than the first one -

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -3.25
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.97

Looks like another Dali Lama...
I begin to suspect that if you click 'strongly agree/strongly disagree' one or more times, you get branded a liberal.

Ok, I'm a little late on this but:

I got a 27 on the first quiz which puts me between a man I hated, George Bush the elder, and a man I absolutely idolize, Jack Kemp. But this is a very crude and inaccurate quiz and I think the second one is much better...

...and on that one I got...

Economic Left/Right: 1.88
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -1.95

This makes me "just right of center" like my Asylum location. But I don't see any famous people in that quadrant. Interesting. So I guess I'm a mild manored right wing libertarian

[edit]

I was just reading this page A Few Words about "The Extreme Right". I guess in the UK I would be considered a liberal democrat !!! Can you believe it??? What a complete opposite meaning that would have here in the states! Hilarious!

I have no idea what that means for me, but it must be something good, because bad things rarely happen frequently.

I understand precisely.

It's just that the rate of their occurrence is rarely as high as the relative infrequency of their non-occurence when compared to the somewhat exiguous frequency of their frequent occurences.
