Where are you on the spectrum?

Moomin sorry, post above was address to you!

Not just Nelson...hello Sister!

Economic - duh

Econimic Left/Right: -9.0
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.3

I love doing these daft quizzes. I've sent it to my youngest daughter to see if we are similar. DH says says talking to my daughter is like talking to me. We can be almost guaranteed to have the same point of view.

Was just right of left! In the bottom section, does that make me a slightly right wing libertarian.

Let's look on the bright side - surely our results are the same because we are all kind, compassionate, intelligent and all-round lovely people!

Hopefully the test was reliable and valid but, yes, questionnaires are always limited.

Did wonder if the test was devised with the USA in mind and that might account for the sameness of our positions.

In the middle more authoritarian!

Leftie Libertarian
"Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44"

The questions were a bit obvious - fun to do though!

I don't think a compass is a very good way of mapping political outlook. Extreme right is very close to extreme left. I think a Klein bottle, or even a Klein bagel would be better. It would be about as useful anyway

My result? – bang in the middle of the bottom left quadrant. But I thought the questions were loaded and there were some which didn't have an adequate answer for me. Limited, then.

Leftie libertarian.

It would have been more sensible to do the test before posting the questions above. It would also have been more sensible to check what my answers showed me to be before returning to this page. I don't think I am properly awake yet. [dunce emoticon]

Could you be a left-wing authoritarian (like Lenin, for example) according to this test? Or a right-wing libertarian (lots in the current Conservative party support libertarianism)? Does it actually define left and right? (I haven't done it yet.)

Leftie lib too. I answered honestly and thought I would come out nearer the middle. I see Obama and Cameron come out very close together!

Makes me wonder why we all have such different opinions when we're all in the same quadrant. Or as greatnan said would anyone dare to admit to being a right wing authoritarian?

does this make us all social democrats then?

Don't know how that happened, but I am also a leftie libertarian

Left libertarian, but a bit more left than libertarian.

me- left hand corner

Just noticed that my post didn't appear immediately after MiceElf ! I meant 'ditto' I'm in the bottom left hand corner too

I am on the left hand side, fourth line from the bottom and third line from the left. I am definitely a Leftie Libertarian.

What bias - you have a choice of agreeing or disagreeing with all the statements.

I'm in the same position as Gandhi

I wanted to see all the questions first to see whether my suspicions were right about their bias. Having completed a couple of pages, my suspicions were confirmed.

Me too
