Someone should post a list of everyone's scores... and update it when someone new posts his/her results.

Any takers?

Political Spectrum Quiz

From the website of The Political Compass - which is the graphing on which this quiz was based

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.


Also this thing was originally developed in the UK, so I'm not sure how likely it is that they were biased toward either of the main US political parties.

"You are a centrist moderate social libertarian.
Right: 0.38, Libertarian: 1.44"

for example, it said news on the radio should be unbiased but what about TV news? they said radio bc the most popular radio shows are rush limbaugh and other republicans.

I think the way that quiz words things makes it a little biased towards one party....

Cool.

Diana's banana babies are awesome.

OBAMA: Bring back the Bluth frozen banana

That took me a minute, too, Doni.

I don't think there's a show out there called Animal Farm or 1984, or is there?

Arrested Development

What show?

I know, isn't that awesome, Heidi?!!

Ha...I love that show, Nools...

"STOP. You're starting to scare George Orwell."

:)

Is this the right thread?

No matter. My political views/demands:


So proud to be an American. : )

yay?

Yay Angabel.

I think the fact that most of us are going "But! But!" to a lot of these questions proves that we're intelligent. I know that most people who live in my hometown, at the very least, would take a quiz like this out-right, rather than see the complexities in things.

I can't help but think that we are what we read in these cases, and most of us on goodreads might lean more towards distrusting the government because of the books we've read. I mean, what am I really supposed to think when I read statements like "People with a criminal history should not be able to vote"? I don't automatically think something like "so if you kill a person, you can't vote" and then agree/disagree with that, I think, "Well what is considered a "criminal history" and is this likely to prevent a regime change in the future by labeling former revolutionaries as criminals and thus allowing the state to remain stable and corrupt?"

hey - i need a glomp sometimes heidi

and no real damage from this thread yet. fire away TC

The stepping on one's own crank one is a good place to start, RA!

I just wanna glomp you, Kevin. :) I mean that in a purely platonic way.

yeah well get em in now because i am leaving in about a half hour for home and won't see anything until tomorrow morning :)

I count at least four metaphors in message 109, and I can't decide to which I should respond.

:::cranks up her crossbow, gets Kevin between her crosshairs:::

(but thanks Bun)

i have very thick skin (and i am not bragging about a physical trait). i am perfect fodder for everyone here waiting to pounce because i can take a joke and i def step on my own crank enough for you guys to get your shots in.

If it starts to bug you let me know, and I'll stop.

Bun is always yanking my chain.

But it did make it MUCH more interesting and challenging, so there's that.

yeah, jacked that up LOLOLOL

i think you all got my meaning but i didn't have to sound like Yoda when i said it

Maybe its something, you know, absurdist and existential, like

Never let a bicycle wear your watch, it will only make the petunias envious.

Because that's my best guess, but maybe not. It might be some sort of Dadaist advice. "

I was hoping that was the take too, because I didn't understand it the way he wrote it.

I see the wisdom in that. Thanks Kevin

Michelle - I always say if you can't move forward and least lean that way. Then you are not going backwards

Sorry you're not feeling well Michelle, glad you can chuckle at us.

True enough.

Thanks Larry. You have got to feel the blues sometimes to know what happiness is.

Sorry to hear that.

A little under the weather these days. I check in when I can and get a little smile,I don't always reply but I get chuckle.

I believe that your valid excuse went out the window Larry when we found out you were in CA not CAN

Michelle: Where have you been. Do you have a valid excuse?
