    Default Political Compass

    Yeah, don't want to hear your bitching and moaning just do it so we can get a new baseline.

    The Political Compass

    Economic Left/Right: -2.88
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.41
    Faith is Hope (see Loki's sig for details)
    If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?

    I always liked you khen.
    "Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink, because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.

    4.88 / - 2.10

    I'd previously almost always been within 2 units of the center....

    Finally done it



    The legend on the right does not totally correspond to the icons on the left. Don't know why, but should be recognizable regardless.
    Did include the median and the average just for shits and giggles.

    Did he who made the lamb make thee?

    Nice, Khen.

    Still no Lewk? Come on. Either play along or don't bother showing up.

    I am on a graph for the first time in my life. Wowsers!

    Cool graph, Khen, it makes it quite a bit easier to compare the politics of everyone. :thumbsup:
    I enjoy blank walls.

    Found a better compass.

    Edit: damn it, it won't post the picture.

    Those questions were only slightly less shitty than the last compass. But I doubt anyone here would be surprised by my results:

    https://8values.github.io/results.ht...&g=58.1&s=66.4

    (A lot of this is artifact; there were a substantial number of questions I answered 'neutral' on because I disagreed with the basic premise or tradeoff implied, and knew that answering incorrectly one way or another would skew the results.)

    I like having the neutral option and more axes. But yes, the questions are sufficiently ambiguous that I had to choose neutral for a large number.

    First time I've been called a centrist economically: https://8values.github.io/results.ht...&g=64.6&s=70.8

    Not surprised to be a Classical Liberal but think I'm more Markets but not sure I like where some of the questions lead. Centrist, Balanced, Liberal, Progressive.

    59.8% is a centrist. If you got 60%, it would say pro-markets.

    Test designed to predict likely political affiliation rather than accurately characterize political views based on a deep philosophical analysis. I signal my affiliation through those answers where I strongly agree or disagree, even though I could just as well omit the "strongly". On questions where I reject the premise I'm more likely to say I disagree rather than to say I'm neutral or unsure.

    Very much geared towards Anglo-American respondents.

    Few to many absolute questions without context for my taste, but here we go

    Seemed very much aimed at Americans. And as always blanket questions without context.

    Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
