Political Compass Quiz: What's your Real Position?

There should have been a broader range of questions in my opinion.

Economic Left/Right: -5.88
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -3.95

Very predictable.

what a lively topic this has become! Great job echelon on the graph!

Any explanations why the results are mainly left/liberal??? (besides the alledged bias of the quiz)

Could it be that, because of the nature of ATS (site about conspiracy theories), it attracts more lefties/libertarians than right wingers??

Or something else???

Maybe the republicans haven't taken the quiz as yet...

TheBandit795, just a question.

If I'm an authoritarian leftist, could you explain :

- why I vote for the right,

- Why I hate the left, the far-left, the ecologists and the far-right,
- why I believe in God,

- Why I'm pro-Israel,

- Why I hate taxation,

- Why I'm anti-abortion,

- Why I'm anti-gay marriage,

- Why I'm anti-adoptions children by gays & lesbians,

- Why I think that Reagan was a so good president,

- Why I agree with Bush when he want to remove terrorism from earth surface.

- Why I'm anti-EU,

- Why I hate minority dictatorship,

???????????????????????????????????????????????????

What do you think TB795 ?

I got my girlfriend to take the test, the sad conspiracy theorist that I am (she loves it really), and she was -2.62 libertarian and +4.00 to the right. I found this very unusual.

What other famous figures have these sort of views, and are they that unusual?

"- why I vote for the right,"

People should vote for whatever the party stands for and for what they're prepared to do when they're in office. NOT for if they're left or right.

"- Why I hate the left, the far-left, the ecologists and the far-right,"

Why should you hate anyone. I don't hate anyone. I might dislike, but I don't hate.

"- why I believe in God,"

Lot's of leftist believe in God. And I think there are right wingers who don't.

"- Why I'm pro-Israel,"

Because you're pro-Israel makes you a right winger?
Go to the country north of your border and you'll see that lots of left wingers hate muslim countries and like Isreal. They just don't show it.

"- Why I hate taxation,"

Cmon don't you want good roads, a good police force, good infrastructure etc???

"- Why I'm anti-abortion,"

I have no comment on that...

"- Why I'm anti-gay marriage,"

no comment either

"- Why I'm anti-adoptions children by gays & lesbians,"

and again.

"- Why I think that Reagan was a so good president,"

I was a kid when he was prez.

"- Why I agree with Bush when he want to remove terrorism from earth surface."

Of course, we all want terrorism removed. That's not only wanted by right wingers...

"- Why I'm anti-EU,"

What's the difference between the E.U. and the U.S. 240 years ago???

"- Why I hate minority dictatorship,"

Which probably happen more in conservative countries.

Konta bai Bandid ? Tur kos ta bon ?
LoL, well I supose your avatar is where you live right ?

Si, di eynan mes mi ta...

Di unda abo ta??

Excellent Job Echelon,I think as not so many people visit the Political Forum you should put your Graph up in Chit Chat but give some credit to B-T for starting the thread.It really does make me laugh to see Thomas Crowne and Bob so close together like Siamese twins almost.

I think maybe it has turned out a little left but I think where people are relative to each other is fairly acurate.

That was really clever!

Anyway I was wondering about right wing libertarians, are there any out there!

Bandid, korsow pero mi ta biba nu hullanda.


Echelon, I thank you too.

I think Echelon put me on the line, whereas I should have been down into the libertarian quadrant on the right side. So, yes, FD - the test showed me as a right wing libertarian.

I'm a leftwing Librarian.......SSHhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Oh ? You just " dislike " ? Me, I don't " dislike ". When I don't like, I don't like. And when I hate, I hate.

What do you mean by " conservative countries " ? Countries who don't want to sold their past, history , cultures, traditions, race, ethnie ?

If this is what you mean, damn, I'm proud to be a conservative guy !!!

Economic, 4.88
Auth/Lib, 1.03

You and my chick would get on great then! Echelon, can u put FD's chick on the next compass:

+4.00 right
-2.62 libertarian

The difference between, dislike and hate is this.
When you dislike someone or something. You pay it/them no attention or rarely any attention. You can be in a good mood and stay in a good mood when you see them.

When you hate on the other hand. You're obsessed by them. You get this sickening feeling in your stomache when you see them. Your whole body trembles with rage, they are always on your mind and you think about ways to destroy them, kill them, murder them. It goes on and on. You get stressed out about them. And when your angry an stressed out, your blood pressure goes sky high.
Till your body can't take it anymore. You may develop a disease because of the negative, sick feelings in your stomache. You may get an aneurism, a myocardial infarct, cancer, an infection. Serious complications just because your terrible hate someone or something. You're in fact, killing yourself while you hate.

Just go to your doctor, he'll tell how people can make themselves sick or kill themselves with their mind.

Why else would you think that there are speculations that OBL has serious kidney disease???

This is just one reason why I don't hate...

As for conservative, I think dictatorships happen mainly in those kinds of countries.

Although being conservative isn't bad. Just everyone their own thing.

So, I'm not worry for my health and I'll have a long live.

I'm not obsessed,I'm not stressed,I'm not feeling sick in my stomach, my body doesn't tremble when I think or see them ( my ennemies ), they are not allways in my mind and I'm not allways looking for a new way on how to kill them.

In fact, I can kill my ennemy without any nervous breakdown, trembling or hate. I can do it by cold blood and going back sleeping without any problems. That's great !
