Do you think you lean left or right?

Here's a little quiz that will help pinpoint your political leanings. Take the test then share your results. I ended up right square in the middle on the crosshairs. Go figure!!

I lean so far right I often tip over and fall on my side. :D

Just a smidge to the left. So I guess I am a centrist.....

After posting on here for the last few weeks, I thought the same thing. Boy, was I wrong. Everyone I work with came in close to Ghandi, so I stuck out like the conservative from Hell.

I lean slightly left of center and very libertarian.

The political compass is a horrible test, like almost all of the other tests of such nature online, but for what its worth, I'm 9.12, 4.77

Interesting test. I'm exactly in the middle on the left/right axis, and slightly to the libertarian side of the authoritarian/libertarian axis. Just about where I would have expected to be, by the way. :)

I'm ever-so-slightly to the left, with a moderate-to-strong libertarian streak. Pretty much how I see myself.

I took this a long time ago. Socially, I am Libertarian & economically I lean left, according to this.

LOL, I take that test every month or two. I took it most recently last week and got about -8, -8. I'm surprised because I wouldn't think I'm THAT leftist. I know I'm very liberal and I am left of center, but I would expect to have started scoring further in, maybe a -4 or -5.

What's funny is that when I talk economic politics with my liberal socialist friend and my Libertarian friend, they end up both yelling at me instead of each other. Sheesh... if any of us had different social views, I can't even imagine!

I took it again & it appears I'm starting to lean farther & farther left, economically.

I was shown a pretty good one at http://www.okcupid.com

The site is some online dating service thing but I do not think you have to sign up to take it. The test is more indepth and the results are more descriptive.

I was on the line between capitalist and libertarian.

It has some bad questions like the one that says: An advantage of a one-party system is that it avoids delays of a democratic process. That's undeniably true; the question is whether or not it's a good thing.
