According to the politicalcompass.org I'm way over to the left and quite libertarian. Weird, as I usually react strongly and in the negative to libertarian views, but I did feel like I was being pushed towards more libertarian views by slightly disingenuous questions.

Your scored -3.5 on Moral Order and 5.5 on Moral Rules.

System: Socialism Ideology: International Socialism Party: No match. Presidents: Jimmy Carter 04' Election: David Cobb 08' Election: Dennis Kucinich

No surprises there I guess. And I too felt that the questions were disingenuous to some extent. Also, why is this about Moral politics?

Edit: Hm... while the "ideal moral order" seems to be a matter of personal conviction, I am quite certain that the Moral Rules, being tools to reach a goal, are subject to SCIENCE: surely whether they are effective in reaching either sort of order can be empirically determined, yes?

Thiso ne I tend to find to be a good example

Now that's more like it!

Conservative leaning Centrist.

(Since you are close to the center, the "signal" may be lost in the "noise.")

That looks accurate. I'm not happy with status-quo, so the description was inaccurate. "Conservative leaning Centrist" is spot on, however.

Approximately 6% of the takers of this quiz scored in this area, 36% for all within the centrist circle.

What? Only 6% are similar?

What? Only 6% are similar?

The test has 20 sections.

Yeah... well...

I tend to expariment with my views ont hat test and tend to fluctate between Radical Libertarian and Left-Leaning Libertarian.

Your scored -4 on Moral Order and 4 on Moral Rules.

The following categories best match your score (multiple responses are possible):

• System: Socialism
• Ideology: Social Democratism
• Party: No match.
• Presidents: Jimmy Carter
• 04' Election: David Cobb
• 08' Election: Dennis Kucinich

Why thank you, quiz, for telling me everything I already knew.

I feel that the linked initial test was "detailed", but the details were not particularly accurate.

Your scored -5.5 on Moral Order and 2.5 on Moral Rules.

The following categories best match your score (multiple responses are possible):

• System: Socialism
• Ideology: Activism
• Party: No match.
• Presidents: Jimmy Carter
• 04' Election: David Cobb
• 08' Election: Dennis Kucinich

Of the 661,117 respondents (11,708 on Facebook):

• 5% are close to you.
• 74% are more conservative.
• 5% are more liberal.
• 4% are more socialist.
• 14% are more authoritarian.

I've been skewed left, from the look of it.

Interesting... Not only does it tell you where you belong on the spectrum, it gives you stuff that might interest you. God's Welfare System seems like a hilarious idea to throw at religious conservatives]], although we had a more advanced version in Islam.

Lolwut edit: hey, it actually is not so off...

edit: generic US-centrism rant

That holistic politics stuff seems quite interesting. I admit social welfare is not as codified in the Bible as it is (as far as I know) in Quran, but it's interesting to know there've been quite a number of left-leaning Christian politics.

Calling them left-leaning would be like saying cathedrals are OHSA compliant. Technically true, but don't apply new labels to olds tuff...

The tests are better than the standard "Are you Blue or Green?" one-axis ones but many internet tests are made by (and at least unintentionally biased towards) either right- or left-libertarians, The Enhanced-Precision Political Quiz or The World's Smallest Political quiz are examples of the first and The Political Compass an example of the latter. The Moral Politics test seems fairly non-biased but the questions are somewhat vague. In these cases I've found useful to do the test twice, taking the extreme of what you could agree with in one direction and another extreme at the other (on a traditional one-axis system) and marking the resulting square. This doesn't show a single spot as conclusively but is more effective at avoiding inaccuracy due to vague questions. It requires understanding the underlying mechanics of the test though. (ie. which answer is in which direction and how strongly)

My own results are

Your scored -6 to -2.5 on Moral Order and 1.5 to -2 on Moral Rules. (Capital Democratism, Social Democratism, Progressivism or Activism)

Personal 59.8 to 94 and Economic 45.7 to 68.7 (Liberal-Leaning Centrist, Left-Leaning Freedom Lover, Libertarian-Leaning Centrist or Social Liberal)

And I agree with Ardiente; the methods used in government should be subject to scientific inquiry so we could debate only on goals and know how to get there. Unfortunately Blues and Greens alike have a lot of money and status in being Absolutely Correct in Everything and thus unbiased research is all but impossible and implementing the results of said research even more so.

Are you Blue or Green?

I'm not into chariot racing.

@Ardiente: well, if we're to be honest, for me the only meaningful definitions of Left and Right are Progressive/Radical vs Conservative/Moderate as during The French Revolution. I was using the term colloquially, as a stand-in for some variety of socialist.

My results:

Your scored 1.5 on Moral Order and -3.5 on Moral Rules.

1. System: Conservatism 2. Ideology: Capital Republicanism 3. Party: Republican Party 4. Presidents: Richard Nixon 5. 04' Election: George W. Bush 6. 08' Election: John Mc Cain

Why does "socialist" sound like an insult when Americans say it?

Perhaps because, more often than not, they are using it as one?

Oh well. Red Scare scars, I guess. In France, from the sixties up until the nineties, saying you were "right wing" out loud was aoutside the Overton Window. They don't talk about it much today, but it's amazing to see those documentaries where you see eminent right-wingers such as Chirac and Sarkozy making one Suspiciously Specific Denial after another along the lines of "We are not right-wing, Gaullism is revolutionary, and anyone who says otherwise is an ignorant tit".

Here's mine.

You want government out of your personal life, at least to some degree. But you want more government in your economic life. Politically, you appear to be a solid Democrat, though you might also find the Green Party appealing.

This seems about right.

My results.

You want government out of people's personal lives, but you appear to desire some continued government control over people's economic activities. There is no political party that represents your views. The Green Party does run many candidates with similar views, but the overall Green Party platform is much more socialistic than you are. You would need a mix of Democratic, Green, and Libertarian politicians in office to get the balance of freedom and social justice you desire. The ratio between these depends on how high up your dot is on the chart.

Approximately 12% of the takers of this quiz scored in this area, 18% for all liberals outside the centrist circle.

Not so very far off, I guess. Hated those questions, though. Very US-centric, options way too specific for me to answer accurately, and too much emphasis on issues that I see as trivial.

Also, the BBC being given as the extreme opposite of uncensored TV is laughable.

admittedly I didn't get the whole BBC thing I don't know how that works but the programs i've seen come off as pretty uncensored. If anything i'd think Australia and Germany were far worse.

My views tend to be pretty left-libertarian, yet I scored a -3.5 on social order and 0.5 on social rules, which makes me a Social Democrat.

Did two runs through, one "practical" and one "ideological." The first, I had (-5.5, 5), the second (-7.5, 7.5). Jibes nicely with my Political Compass score, which is somewhere around (-9, -9).

So, yeah. Extreme left. Shocker.

I like this test, though. More sensible than most.
