Meh. I was hoping for a point outside the bounds of space and time. Maybe next time...

So that makes me slightly Libetarian Left, but I have no idea if that answer is how I really feel or due to the loaded questions and the lack of a middleground answer.
Some of the questions are slanted
Most of them are slanted ! Some right-wingers accuse us of a leftward slant. Some left-wingers accuse us of a rightward slant. But it's important to realise that this isn't a survey, and these aren't questions. They're propositions - an altogether different proposition. To question the logic of individual ones that irritate you is to miss the point. Some propositions are extreme, and some are more moderate. That's how we can show you whether you lean towards extremism or moderation on the Compass.
Some of the propositions are intentionally vague. Their purpose is to trigger buzzwords in the mind of the user, measuring feelings and prejudices rather than detailed opinions on policy.
Incidentally, our test is not another internet personality classification tool. The essence of our site is the model for political analysis. The test is simply a demonstration of it.
You should have a "don't know" option
This makes it too easy for people to duck difficult issues. By forcing people to take a positive or negative stance, the propositions make people really evaluate their feelings. Often people find they wanted to select 'don't know' mainly because they'd never really thought about the idea.

Interesting little thing. Does seem to favor the Left/Libertarian quad around here though.

Some of those questions are a little too restrictive, I think.

That means I win

I’m one unit off from The Origin of All of Politics.

I'm glad we're all in the same quadrant.
Uhhh, I'm an authoritative communist according to the chart.

I would have gotten a more positive authoritatian score if more of the questions had phrases like "what is/will be the preferred method" as opposed to "what should be the preferred method."
So I put on my magical-hippy-we-live-in-a-utopia-should hat and answered them like a stinky hippy.
I believe everyone should be treated mostly fairly, but only I should be allowed to think. I AM THE BRAIN AND YOU ARE MY PIKMIN.

Like Gandhi

Much more left than I thought, considering I'm much more conservative than most of my friends, but I guess that's what you get for living in California.

I used to be more in the middle. Then again, I used to have my brother around to explain some of these politics words to me.

I've drifted to a more radical view. I'm kind of glad this was revived, I had completely forgotten about this.
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.95
i'm not sure where that puts me, kind of close to ghandi, but leaning towards communism and anarchy.
communistic anarchy, does that even make sense?
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.21
Also kinda like Ghandi.
I think? Doing it from memory.
It was madness, though, I tells ya.
Really close-to-anarchy madness.
