    We've done this before on the political discussion board, but it's always fun to see where our scores fit relative to what our feelings about where we fall on the political spectrum are. So everyone feel free to take it and share your results.
     
    It's interesting to plot the responses to see the results altogether (there's a 'build your own chart' link on the political compass site). So here's a MAP map:

    The dominance of 'left libertarians' and the complete lack of authoritarians jumps out, but it's early days (this is just 27 responses) so perhaps it says more about who's signing up here initially than anything else. Or maybe authoritarians just don't like taking political compass tests? :unsure: But I imagine there'll be a broader spread as time goes on, I'll update this as we get more responses if there's interest.
    Maybe they’re just waiting for fim, direct orders
     
    Your Political Compass
    Economic Left/Right: -3.88
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.51

    I used to be much closer to the middle. It is interesting how this Trump presidency has shifted me farther left and down a few squares.
     
    My closest compatriots are Lapaz and Andrus. Who'da thunk?

    I think it’s a loaded survey.

    Question 1.

    If a global economy is inevitable, should it be modeled after human rights or corporations. How do you even answer that on a sliding scale and how can that question give an accurate depiction of one’s core beliefs?

    It seems very, very simple to me. What's more important, people or profits? You've got a middle of the road choice, too, but it probably will not "put" you where you want to be on that map. It's one of many questions, not the definitive question.

    I’m with you it just seems to me that everyone would put strongly agree to the human side. Which in my opinion is the reason for the overwhelming leftist scores. I think it is set up that way purposely to skew the outcome.

    If the question was how important is a healthy economy in a global market compared to social welfare, you would get a much different answer.
