I'm near to Stalin,

social libertarian/ authoritarian= 3.33

Interesting, but not surprising. I am in the middle on econ issues, and very Libertarian.

Economic Left/Right: -1.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.05

I show up just barely in the lower left quadrant.

When are you people going to realize that by labeling someone into a political party, you force their hands in many issues? That political parties, not politicians are the root of the problem in this country?

but go on, "define" yourself.

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -6.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.18

Just a little North of Ghandi.
Quite amusing but I must admit..My hatred of politics nearly had me quitting at page 2

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.05

Economic Left/Right: -1.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.97

wow, it looks like a lot of the members got minus on both ! Nelson Mandela and DalaiLama

I had taken a similar test a few years ago, but it was much more vague.

What I find interesting after reading all the other posts is the "general" propensity of people landing pretty much where they thought they would. It says a lot about the type of people who frequent this site. Free thinkers, but comfortable with their own beliefs, willing to discuss important issues. Actually, the fact that we took the test at all supports that idea, regardless of your results. Go ATS and welcome to all opinions and outlooks.

Oh, my score: Economic -5.12. Social -3.28, fairly Ghandi-est of which I am proud.

Libertarian Right

Economic Left/Right: 5.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.85

I hate quizzes like that. Clicking one of 4 radio buttons is not an acceptable way to answer those questions. The wording of some paired with the available answers created an awful lot of "damned if you do" forced answers.

Personally I would say I am a little deeper into that lower right quadrant than the quiz placed me.

I took the test and landed right where Gandhi is, maybe a little closer to where they put the communist-left square. (Red Square! Commrades!)
Proud of it, too.

my results:

Economic Left/Right: -0.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.38

That seems pretty close to being true
