Take the test to see what you are.

This is me

it's in my sig. I have always wondered though if there was a way to plot some of the most popular NSer's on the same graph so we could see where we all were in relation to eachother (I bet it's simple, but I just haven't put too much thought into how yet)

Two things:
1) The bottom link is broken, just tell us your score and most of us will know what it means
2) This same thing was posted not 5 minutes ago. Look before you post or it is spamming

You right-wing-conservatives :rolleyes:

I'm long way down in the left corner.. ;)

There is (or at least was) something like that. It was in some users sig. I can't quite remember his name (it may have been swimmingpool), and he hasn't posted for a while. The majority (about 2/3) of us where in the third (bottom-left) quadrant. Probably 1/6-1/5 in the fourth quadrant (bottom-right). Only two people were in quadrant 2 (top left) and the rest were in the top-right.

cool. I would like to see where I was in relation to some others......curious as I am....

I hope you aren't talking about me. You'd have to have basically a -10 on both to be lefter than me :cool:

we should do it again. i have some time off over the next few days so i could spend some time on it. look out for a thread tomorrow asking for everyone to post their recent PC scores :)

and i know i have the full thing on my other computer, but its off, i'm tired, and all i can find so far is this (http://www.hlj.me.uk/UDCP/PC/Political%20Compass%20scores%2015'05'05%20small_scale.jpg)of the old one (actually its something quite seperate but...meh... its related)
will keep looking

My politics are kinda odd I guess. I don't fall into any of the ready made categorys.

Numbers in sig.

Economic Left/Right: 10.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.90

Yes you can join. I used to be closer to the center (Econ/Social: -8.16/-7.00) but I retook the test about 3 days ago and found my ideals had apparently become much more radical in the last 3 months.

hehe.. brilliant.. :)
I wonder if I've been any more radical in... hmmm... 0,5 - 1 years. :rolleyes:

Mmkay ... I'll explain this again.

Take someone you know who is left, the leftiest lefty who ever lefted things up - like LaRouche or Kucinich - and put me just to the left of them.

Political Compass doesn't go all the way to 11.

Economic left-right: 1.75
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.26

Geez, there's not a single listed world leader in my quadrant....

mine either (we are in the same quadrant)

I sometimes wonder if that's why the world is so screwed up.........

Economic Left/Right: 0.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.31

I still find corporations and socialism equally repulsive, however I have become slightly more socially libertarian.

Seriously. Where is the combination of logic and liberty? Is everyone a religious authoritarian or a socialist? It's bloody depressing, is what it is....

You forgot secular socialist dictators (ex. Stalin) :p
If I remember right there is one historical person in your quadrant.

Left/Right: -3.00
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.08

Funny, I've drifted a little left since my last test. I was something like L/R: 1 and L/A: 1 previously...

Left/right: -6.13
Libertarian/authoritarian: -3.74

Surprisingly close to the Dahli Lama.

I think I misidentified my quadrant as being the same as his........

there really is nobody (http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/images/internationalchart.gif)in my quadrant :(

EDIT: I did not misidentify, my sig is wrong it should be -0.31

oh and Stalin (http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/images/axeswithnames.gif) isn't in our quadrant.

I didn't say Stalin was in your quadrant, I said he was in the secular socialist dictatorships quadrant.
And if you would look at your own link (the one with Stalin) it shows that there WAS a historical person in your quadrant, his name appears to be Friedman. Checkmate.

yeah, I need to go to sleep............checkmate? oh nevermind that doesn't make sense either. LOL *falls asleep on keyboarda;oghba*

EDIT:

Okay so I looked that guy up,we would get along great

"I am in favor of cutting taxes under any circumstances and for any excuse, for any reason, whenever it's possible."

"The business of business is business"

"The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem."

yep, he makes sense. I like him....

Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.72

Why does in the States religion go together with Libertarianism? It makes absolutely no sense!

Economic:-3.35
Social:-1.25

Yeah, it would be interesting to see where the N.S. posters of today stack up. Quite a lot of the folks in that graph are no longer active.

Here I am.

Economic Left/Right: -1.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.23

Friedman’s religious? Doesn’t matter, I’m still voting for him. A jewwish cowboy as governor of Texas, yehah!:D

These compasses are absolutely worthless to me. My politics follow what is in my personal best interest at the time. Currently that happens to be undemocratic libertarianism, because I am not lacking for money and the majority is comprised of fucktards who aren’t willing to leave my money alone.

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -9.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.00

No suprise there...

*blinks at the NS Chart * No one is where I am on this thing.....

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -7.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.77

Edit:
Interesting, my previous score on Swimming Pool's chart was
Economic Left/Right: -5.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.15

I've become more left wing, but less libertarian.

Friedman’s religious?
He's quite conservative. My lecturer once wrote a letter to him wondering about the hypocrisy with that (not in those words, but still), but Friedman responded but avoided the issue and talked about something else.

But whatever you want to say about the guy, he has always taken the time to answer letters and questions from anyone. Once, there was a little girl who wrote to him to ask why a Barbie doll was so expensive, and he replied and explained it to her...:)

No, I was more wondering about Smunkee in this case - she's quite religious and pretty conservative (or that's the drift I'm getting), but she still has this anti-government cramp that so many Americans seem to have, especially when it comes to economics.
It's a strange combination, but a very common one.

Economic Left/Right: -4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.62

A little less left, and more Libertarian! :)

Zero on the left-right, -3.06 towards Libertarian n the up-down.

I am not anti-government, I am pro-government leaving me alone.

The purpose of government is to do for people what they can not do on thier own.

(ie defense, build roads, ect.)

NS posters are way outside the mainstream of any Western nation. You don't need a political compass to figure that out! :)

I hope you aren't talking about me. You'd have to have basically a -10 on both to be lefter than me :cool:

Like me? I'm soooo lefter than you. :p

Which surprised me, actually, when I took the test again a few weeks ago. Apparently as time goes on I edge toward being a full-blown communist :eek:

Economic Left/Right: 6.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.28

i guess i'm fairly close to Milton Friedman (according to them)

(except cannot is one word. hehe)

Damn I love my political orientation:)

Hate the political compass for 3 main reasons-

1) Everybody turns out left-wing (Look, even Eutrusca, that bastion of the Republican Party is left of centre in that old one)

2) It doesn't demonstrate anything. An anarchist, trotskyist, fabian socialist and social democrat could all be placed on the same point despite having huge differences in opinion

3) Several of the questions don't actually refer to politics- If I don't believe in astrology does that make me more authoritarian or less?

exactly!

(except cannot is one word. hehe)
yeah. I usually add something on the end that I decided to leave out but didn't go back and fix my cannot

You right-wing-conservatives :rolleyes:
