Just wondering which of the four quadrants on the traditional compass best describes where you would fall? Here you go - here's a link to the actual test. https://www.politicalcompass.org/test On 11/9/2017 at 3:13 PM, ALF said: Where would John Kasich fall on that graph ? I supported him . I want bipartisan statesmen in Congress and WH The old "what would John Kasich do?", eh? I posted the link above. Take the test, post your results honestly. I'll bet you're not as centrist as you think you are. The last time we did this, a few people were surprised at learning what category the fell into. edit: I just took the test myself, and am pretty much the same as a couple years ago when we did this before: Economic Left/Right: 5.5 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.0 Edited November 13, 2017 by Azalin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I personally don't love that test. The wording is vague in some questions, and obviously slanted in others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 if i answered strongly agree to five of them I'd fear the thought police would be climbing up the outside of my office building to kick in my windows and arrest me. one professional audit exam asked if it was okay to slap someone in the face to get them to cooperate and answer questions.

But I take issue with some of the questions. E.g. "One of the benefits of a totalitarian society..." Well, yeah, the speed at which decisions are made is a benefit...the problem is that a single benefit doesn't make the entire system beneficial - that one benefit is far outweighed by all the other **** that goes along with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. The test could be more detailed and specific, and there were a question or two that I rolled my eyes at, but for 5 minutes spent it's pretty accurate.

row_33 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 HItler supported the arts to a huge extent. I'm assuming that strongly agreeing with the public funding of arts and other useless things questions are meant to tilt to liberal views....
