Your political compass (and other political quizzes)

Post by Hunchman801 »

Welcome to The Political Compass™
There's abundant evidence for the need of it. The old one-dimensional categories of 'right' and 'left', established for the seating arrangement of the French National Assembly of 1789, are overly simplistic for today's complex political landscape. For example, who are the 'conservatives' in today's Russia? Are they the unreconstructed Stalinists, or the reformers who have adopted the right-wing views of conservatives like Margaret Thatcher ?
On the standard left-right scale, how do you distinguish leftists like Stalin and Gandhi? It's not sufficient to say that Stalin was simply more left than Gandhi. There are fundamental political differences between them that the old categories on their own can't explain. Similarly, we generally describe social reactionaries as 'right-wingers', yet that leaves left-wing reactionaries like Robert Mugabe and Pol Pot off the hook.
That's about as much as we should tell you for now. After you've responded to the following propositions during the next 3-5 minutes, all will be explained. In each instance, you're asked to choose the response that best describes your feeling: Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Agree or Strongly Agree. At the end of the test, you'll be given the compass, with your own special position on it.
I think it says it all. Take the test and post your political compass!


Here's a compass showing the politcal views of all PC members who have taken the test since 8 June 2017:

According to the ones who designed the test I have almost exactly the same political standpoint as Nelson Mandela. :)

I've put together a collective political compass for PC. It's now in the first post of the thread.

Most of us are. Maybe this explains why some of us have so many arguments with spiraldoor.

Funnily enough, I am more of a right-winger in French politics :P That's because because socialism is much more common here.
