So anyone done this test?

http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

My results are:
Economic Left/Right: -9.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.41

pretty much what i thought i'd get.

Bit surprised at how far libertarian I am, expected to be down their but maybe not that far. But on the left/right scale I'm where I expected to be at.

the test is flawed. for example

"A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system."

well it IS a significant advantage. whether or not i think its desirable wasn't the question

questions like "Our civil liberties are being excessively curbed in the name of counter-terrorism." put words like "excessively" in there. what's "excessively" mean? and what if its not done in the name of counter-terrorism?

terrible

well it's pretty spot on for me.


you're just afraid of getting left authoritarian or something.
