Are you Left-wing or Right-wing?

I'm left. :)

Left wing & left handed.

I'm chicken wing.

really quite left, me



do the test here: http://www.politicalcompass.org/
it gives a pretty decent indication of where you stand, and includes an extra dimension (libertarianism vs authoritarianism)

most people put their political compass scores in their signatures... mine's -8.88 (communist) and -6.67 (fairly libertarian)

Generally left.

Leaning Left.

Not everybody is one or the other. Considering liberterianism is so, like, in right now.

I'm almost completely to the left. I haven't done the compass test in a while but I'll do it again and post my results. I estimate I'll get around -8 on the economical and about -5 on the social (I have some strongly authoritarian social feelings, such as punishment of criminals, but the rest is liberal - I'm no Stalinist :D).

This is not a true reprasentaion of the world at large not everyone is a lefty?

Screw the left-right spectrum
www.politicalcompass.org

I took the political compass test a while ago… apparently I'm fairly left economically, and only the tiniest bit socially libertarian. That's probably because I'm for wide political freedoms, but I'm quite authoritarian in some places at the same time.

Economic Left/Right: -8.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.44

I'm right. Extremely right. I'm somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun.

I'm kinda like a Superhitler, except that I like jews and I don't have a stupid mustache.

I'm uber-left.

sig says it

leftyleftisism

I'm right. Extremely right. I'm somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun.

I'm kinda like a Superhitler, except that I like jews and I don't have a stupid mustache. That bloody moustache annoys me. It's hard to take a twisted, vengeful German emperor seriously when he has a bloody toothbrush below his nose.

Are you Left-wing or Right-wing?

Neither. I'm ambidexterous.

Centre-left.

Right Wing Nut!

Right Wing Nut!
Harlesburg:
Economic Left/Right: -3.75

You look decidedly on the left to me.

Only left and right?
Then I'm left.

From two weeks ago:
Economic Left/Right: -8.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.59

I'm glad there is more lefties. :)

Economic Left/Right: +9.0
Libretarian/Authoritarian: +1.2

So far right, I'll probably fall off the edge

Very, very far right. It scares me to see how many lefts there are here.

Left in everything I do and say.

Centrist. :)

I'm a right-wing liberal in America where that doesn't make sense.

I prefer this quiz to the political compass: http://www.orgburo.com/pofoquiz/pofo.php

You scored 63 out of 100 on a scale of Individual vs Social.
You scored 68 out of 100 on a scale of Theist vs Materialist.
You scored 39 out of 100 on a scale of Big Government vs Small Government.
You scored 64 out of 100 on a scale of Nationalist vs Internationalist.
You scored 45 out of 100 on a scale of Protectionist vs Free Trader.
You scored 62 out of 100 on a scale of Absolutist vs Non Absolutist.
You scored 19 out of 100 on a scale of Controlled Market vs Liberal Market.
You scored 43 out of 100 on a scale of Marxist vs Non-Marxist.


Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you a socially-orientated, materialist, big-government, internationalist, non-absolutist, controlled-market kind of person.

These characteristics would put you in the overall category of socialist.

Left I guess then... :D

Liberal Left

Economic Left/Right: -1.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.54

I'm Thatcherite and proud!!!!!

Economic Left/Right: 7.38

*I support fair trade over free trade.

Far left. I think the last time I took the Political Compass test I scored Social -8.62 and Economic -8.38, but I bet that's changed a bit by now.

I'm also thatcherite and proud. Very proud.

[QUOTE=L-rouge]I prefer this quiz to the political compass: http://www.orgburo.com/pofoquiz/pofo.php

I took them both--the political compass came out like this:

Economic Left/Right: -9.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.77

This puts me in the same category with people I respect, so I'd say the test is pretty accurate about my opinions regarding government and economics.

----

The other one came out like this:

67 out of 100-Individual vs Social.
29 out of 100-Theist vs Materialist.
55 out of 100-Big Government vs Small Government.
68 out of 100-Nationalist vs Internationalist.
33 out of 100-Protectionist vs Free Trader
65 out of 100-Absolutist vs Non Absolutist.
27 out of 100-Controlled Market vs Liberal Market.
46 out of 100-Marxist vs Non-Marxist.

Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you a socially-orientated, theist, internationalist, protectionist, non-absolutist, controlled-market kind of person. These characteristics would put you in the overall category of social conservative protectionist with a hint of socialism.

---

In other words, the second test was WAY OFF...

In both tests there were many questions that I had trouble answering. They still assume too much to accurately measure freaks like me.

The political compass has the right idea, but it needs more dimensions to it.

Right.

I like my little dictatorship thankyou very much ^.^

Extreme leftist.

I don't much like the Political Compass test, but I tend to get in the -9s on Economic Left/Right and the -7s on Social Libertarian/Authoritarian.

Definitely Left wing: Green rules!

I'm left! Handed! Ha. ha. ha.

Are you Left-wing or Right-wing?

I'm left. :)
Specious, forced-choice poll. I'm neither left nor right and hate labels with a passion. :p

Economic Left/Right: 2.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.64

Just as I expected. A bit to the right on the economic scale and very much libertarian (left?) on the social scale. Which would make me a... social liberal? Hm, guess I'm a bit of both :p

EDIT:
Took the second test :)

"Individual-Social: 42
Theist-Materialist: 70
Big Gov-Small Gov: 93
Nationalist-Internationalist: 71
Protection-Free Trade: 53
Absolutist-Non Absolutist: 71
Controlled Market-Liberal Market: 62
Marxist-Non Marxist: 60

Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you a materialist, small-government, internationalist, non-absolutist, liberal-market kind of person.

These characteristics would put you in the overall category of borderline internationalist. Your natural home at PoliticsForum would be the International Relations area."

I have my doubts at some of these results, but oh well. I'm very pro-EU, so Internationalist sounds right to me.

Look at the sig...

I probably could actually win for being the most liberal person in my town... It's kinda weird, but cool at the same time :p

left

All you lefties out there, there seems quite a few, left wing people are generally poorer than right wing people, so there.

All have access to a computer. Can't be doing that bad.

Maybe it's because rich people generally do pretty well in right-wing idealogy.

Mmmmhmmm, sure... I live in one of the richest counties in the entire country, so come talk to me when you live in Aspen or some place like that...

First time post,

Using both polls this is what I got:

Economic Left/Right: 6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.85


Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you an individually-orientated, small-government, free-trade, non-absolutist, liberal-market kind of person, who doesn't sound like a Marxist.

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

Pretty libertarian as I would have guessed. I'll never damn well get the government I want.

I'm quite to the right on economic issues, but socially I'm more or less centrist (when it comes to libertarian/authoritarian).

But overall I consider myself a right-winger.

Conservative

The poll explains the content of a lot of discussion threads.

Well, yes. Study your history. Socialism originated from working class poverty.
