So, what does my political compass say?

So, what does this really mean then...?

Economic Left/Right: -2.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.26

It means you're a boring, middle-of-the-road person who probably believes in regulating business and having some form of universal health care for the basics but not a whole lot of crazy government spending, and you're a social moderate...or worse, a flip-flopper. You are what NS General would call a "moderate conservative", most Americans would call "boring", and what most American politicos would call "electable."

It means you need to make up your own mind as to what your political belief system is and not worry about what an arbitrary set of numbers means.

lol I like Kanabia's response.

I really don't like these tests because I don't think it really does define me, and I see others as seeking refuge in these numbers to say 'Hey, look, I'm so and so.'

I'm at school, so I thought I'd give this a shot. Last time I did it, I was almost a Hitler. Of course, that was two years ago. My politicalness has changed a bit, but eh...sure.

x2. Getting caught up in letting other people tell you what you are will likely only confuse you in the long-run. You are whatever you want to be, and dont let anyone ever accuse you of being a hypocrite because of multiple opinions you dont conform to their structures.

It means that in the near future, luck may come you way, but beware of that which comes too easily.

(Well i just got:

Economic Left/Right: -7.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.64

which seems about right)

And Ice Hockey Players's response basically sums up your question

think of yourself as just a less extreme version of me:D
