I've seen plenty of people that have had their "political allignment" defined by a political compass. I found the site itself and thought it would be nice if other people could find and use the site themselves.

There you have it. Thx would be appreciated.

I think this test is a bit stupid in some places.

Questions like this

"Astrology accurately explains many things." How is that political?

"Some people are naturally unlucky." :confused:

It's a religious question. Religious people tend to be more socially conservative. I think you can figure out where I'm going with this one.

"Some people are naturally unlucky." :confused:

If you answer this in disagreement, you're saying that people are made unlucky by a force of higher power. Another religious question.

This one is stupid;
"A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system."

This is civil liberties. People should have the right to choose... However, if there's only one party, people will lose that right.

Yes, but you're not reading it in the right context.

'Tis another Authoritarian/Libertarian question. Authoritarian people don't want to think about things that are troubling them, such as a poor relationship or depression. They try to do other things to get it off their minds. Mind you, they don't like it when others act in the Social Libertarian sense, which is listed below. Authoritarian parents will most likely punish their children if they act in such a way (shit, my dad does that all the time).

Libertarian people do what they can to really fix the problem. They don't go about business as usual, while they slip deeper into depression. Working things out will be their highest priority.

These characteristics would put you in the overall category of libertarian. Your natural home at PoliticsForum would be the Liberalism area."

"You scored 34 out of 100 on a scale of Individual vs Social. This means that politically you are less likely to value the need for group actions and group benefit over individual enterprise and benefit.

You scored 66 out of 100 on a scale of Theist vs Materialist. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that religion and spirituality are superstitions that should not inform political debate.

You scored 72 out of 100 on a scale of Big Government vs Small Government. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that government should keep out of legislating social policies, leaving such decisions to individuals.

You scored 51 out of 100 on a scale of Nationalist vs Internationalist. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to favour international bodies over national ones.

You scored 100 out of 100 on a scale of Protectionist vs Free Trader. This means that politically you are more likely to favour free trade over protectionist policies.

You scored 64 out of 100 on a scale of Absolutist vs Non Absolutist. This means that politically you are less likely to believe that there is an absolute truth that may guide your ideological beliefs.

You scored 75 out of 100 on a scale of Controlled Market vs Liberal Market. This means that politically you are less likely to believe that there is need for government regulation of industry.

You scored 69 out of 100 on a scale of Marxist vs Non-Marxist. This means that politically you are less likely to follow the philosophies of Marx."

It's a religious question. Religious people tend to be more socially conservative. I think you can figure out where I'm going with this one. Astrology is a new age movement and therefore opposed to Christianity. I think there may even be a few verses in the bible advising against looking to the stars to predict the future. Disagreeing with Astrology should actually make you more socially conservative in the Political Compass ranking system. If you answer this in disagreement, you're saying that people are made unlucky by a force of higher power. Another religious question. This could as equally be a question of economics. If you believe some people are naturally unlucky then you are likely to support governmental intervention in the economy to maintain a certain standard of living for all people so they don't fall into poverty. However, if you believe that no one is born unlucky than you may likely favor very little economic controls since you feel that everyone can succeed under a free-market system.
