As an agorist, I'd probably place myself somewhere about here:



Honestly, probably along the bottom edge of that box somewhere.

[Slushpuppy]

As bottom right as it goes

Depends on how much sleep I've had.

jjames88, it's unfortunate that you used the terms "left/right", which have different meanings to different people.

I'm guessing your intention is that the vertical axis reflects personal freedom (bottom is completely free, top is completely un-free), and the horizontal axis reflects economic freedom (left is completely unfree, right is completely free).

[ribuck]

myrkul, how can an agorist like yourself not lean more towards economic freedom? That does not compute.

You should take the whole test at www.politicalcompass.org before posting a result.

Just took it and basically got the same score as you, about 2 boxes further to the right.

This one's cooler

I'm not an ideologue so this chart doesn't apply to me.  It is titled (obviously) in favor of modern day precedents regarding what people think the political spectrum is, rather than what it once was and what it should return to being.

In addition, you should make the chart 3-dimensional, because it would actually reflect how these decisions are actually made - with the following metrics:

The X-axis would be:  Stupidity  -->  Intelligence
The Y-axis would be:  Ignorance -->  Wisdom
The Z-axis would be:  Moral Depravity -->  Moral Virtue

This would make a much better chart where the entirety of the ideological spectrum would be a quadrant tending toward the primitive and irrational area of thought.

Well, I actually took the test this time, and came up much more "right" than I placed myself.... I think the difference is in the definition of left/right. I view left as being radical, and right as conservative, where clearly they define it more along the lines of economic freedoms.

Some of those questions are really not relevant.

This sub-forum really makes me appreciate the value of political frontiers.

A lot of the questions were misleading...

For example, I came across far more economically leftist in this study than I should have. Questions like "is it okay if profit is the only goal for a corporation" and I said no since it depends on how it generates those profits: justly, or unjustly? For example, a cult or MLM scam harms many people even though it's a business in the free market.

But just because I think corporations do have social responsibility, it doesn't mean that I think the government needs to be involved. I don't even think corporations should exist as they do now anyway; they're an invention of government. In the end, I basically desire some of the same end-results that a lot of the left wants (good medical care for everyone, etc.), it's just that I believe the only means to get there is through freedom, not big government.

Finally a fellow left-libertarian

Here's mine.

I think I was slightly more in the corner a couple of years ago.

Where I turned out to be, because of ambiguous questions:

Yeah... This quiz is BS. Almost all of these political quizzes are.
