Yeah. Go green people. I thought I'd be more left than this, though to be honest I'm not exactly sure on what that means.
It seems like a large majority of people here are around my result
Maybe that's why we come to this website, because this website appeals to people in that region; imagine the implications if we did this for every person and then tracked where they went, we would probably see people cluster around each other with similar results without them even consciously knowing about it.
SCIENCE BECKONS TO BE DONE!

Well, I never really think about politics much, beyond demonising corporations that is, so my result didn't particulaly suprise me.
Still I didn't quite expect to be quite so authoritarian but I do have a belief of "one should be free to act as they see fit, so long as they are willing to accept the consequences of their actions".

Here's mine

Although, I found that most of the questions weren't "cut and dry" in my mind. Too many factors go into each decision. Fun little exercise though. Affirms my theory that the internet is populated by radical liberals, lol

Here's a hint: 80% of the users on this site will be in the green.
Me? I don't really have any political opinions thus I prefer not to let a computerized compass express them for me.

I was alittle bit more to the right, but I was pretty much the same as yours there.Matt-Sama said:Wow I must be the only person so far to be like this it seems.
Economic left/right: 3.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.33
According to thier list, that puts me somewhere between Francios Hollande [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Hollande] and Ed Miliband. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Miliband]
Predictably, this. I've always liked this way of thinking about politics, actually, it really doesn't make sense unless you think of it as two seperate scales.
Also the massive crowd of dots in the upper right on that example one is so depressing to me.
Last time I took it (a few years ago) I was in the same area. A bit more in the middle of that quarter but same general area.MellowFellow said:Well it looks like I'm part of the minority in this thread.
Economic Left/Right: 1.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.59
I think this maybe an American thing I'm considered pretty far right authoritarian in the uk and was bang on the line in this test. Also a lot of the question seem pretty counter productive or at the very least too vague.
I really wouldn't say its a good representation of my political compass.

The results in this thread are tiresomely predictable.
As for myself:
I am pretty centrist, which is about right, but I think these questions skew to the left side of things. For example I like business, but I hate multinational corporations. Not because they are unfair to average people, exactly, but because they are more powerful than many governments.
So I like business and people being allowed to become wealthy... (which should put me to the right) but the questions often took that sentiment and phrased in a way that I suspect was counted as leftist. Kind of odd.
Oh, it's also strange that there weren't more neutral answers. I honestly don't care about some of those things.
