Upload the resulting image somewhere and post it here. As for me, I'm generally rather liberal, so I guess the results accurately portray me. I hope nobody thinks I'm a radical, though I just think we all should be allowed to live life as we see it as long as we don't affect the lives of others or the environment.



So, what are your political views and where do you fall in that compass?

Where would "apathetic" fall? :p I feel uneducated for not following even my own country's politics but its so boring to me, I guess. I listen to issues and stuff but the whole...difference between parties and wings and whatever is too confusing. I just go with whatever sounds best

Well, the test is there so you can get a view of your political ideology. It's obviously not perfect since nothing is, but I think it's quite accurate.

I like this test, I've taken it many times.

-3.12 / -8.00


This is a fairly typical result for me. I'm extremely liberal, so naturally I fall near the bottom of the liberal/authoritarian scale. On economics, my views on personal taxation are once again extremely left, but my views on corporate taxation are pretty far right. This averages out to on the left, but not the extreme left.

Yea we did this before the election.

Don't use a biased test to prove what you believe in.

There needs to be something in between "agree" and "disagree", like "meh".

I have trouble with these because I always can think of circumstances where I would give either answer.

Keep in mind that I didn't even understand half of the questions

Similarly I have no idea what the result means, all I know is that I actually don't care much about politics

The closer you are to Libertarian means the more freedom you think people should have, the extreme would be an Anarchist that thinks that there should be no government. The contrary applies for the Authoritarian, which an extreme would be associated with Fascism.

The more you're to the left, the less you think the government should be involved on the economy, a radical left would be associated with communism which is a political ideology that promotes the establishment of an egalitarian, classless, stateless society based on common ownership and control of the means of production and property in general. The contrary applies for the right, which think the government should have more control over the economy and corporations.

I may need correcting on some things here since I'm no expert in politics.

You got left and right mixed up, but yeah, more or less.

Top/bottom: +/- personal freedoms
Left/right: -/+ economic freedoms

Yeah.
