I love the Political Compass website and I retake it a couple times a year. I like watching how my views change as I learn more about politics and experience more of the world. If you're interested, take the test (it doesn't take very long) and post your results! Here is mine (BUG NOTE: The url isn't being passed correctly it seems, the y-axis value isn't being sent to the website): http://www.politicalcompass.org/facebook/pcgraphpng.php?ec=-2.12&soc=-2.62 My values are economic=-2.12, and social=-2.62. However, this thread is not for political discussions other than a short comment about someone's post. Please respect this request, and I ask that the moderators enforce this. Thank you very much! -----sig: |

I do respect your intellect, sir, but this means I have to assume your views in 2004 were fully learned or entrenched, and six years of experiences have not changed them. -----sig: |

I looked at the statistics ... am I really more liberal than democrats in office? Is that why all politicians piss me off? {"name":"statesbysenator.php","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/1\/4\/14b6566013cd58cdd995aa859606a86a.png","w":480,"h":400,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/1\/4\/14b6566013cd58cdd995aa859606a86a"} __________________________________________________ |

It is an interesting test, but it makes too broad generalisations to be really useful (for example, what is the connection between my opinion of sex and the economy/social liberties have to do with each other?) That said, here are my results for the heck of it: Quote: Economic Left/Right: -4.38

"Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races." Is this supposed to affect the outcome of the test? |

Thomas Sowell said: No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems— of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind.

A lot of the questions on this test were silly. But anyway, here's my results. Economic Left/Right: 2.62 {"name":"600890","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/f\/c\/fc1f9e2e8024deddc4af6bf56a514a27.png","w":480,"h":400,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/f\/c\/fc1f9e2e8024deddc4af6bf56a514a27"}

This thing has been posted a ton of times but I don't think I've ever done it. I must be procrastinating. Anyway ... {"name":"600891","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/9\/e\/9e4a9feb8717fd036e7c198c8c594662.png","w":480,"h":400,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/9\/e\/9e4a9feb8717fd036e7c198c8c594662"} If this were archery, I'd be winning. -- |

And there are too many liberals crawling all over this site. |

My results: Economic Left/Right: -5.62 {"name":"600892","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/3\/e3303794afe5a794685a6d805a907fb5.png","w":480,"h":400,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/3\/e3303794afe5a794685a6d805a907fb5"} I considered myself more centrist. I was surprised. Dustin Dettmer has two results implying two personalities? I would have guessed he has none. By reading this sig, I, the reader, agree to render my soul to Bob Keane. I, the reader, understand this is a legally binding contract and freely render my soul. |

I don't remember. I do remember seeing yours and thinking to myself that they were really close.

Not going to take it again, but the first time I took it I got about (-3, -6) and the second time about (3, -6). (These were a few years apart.) -- |

What are your exact numbers?
