Just for Fun: Take the Political Compass test and post your results here.

I'm one of the many who hadn't heard about this site until Markos announced the purge. Clearly most people over here are further left and less authoritarian on average than the people at the GOS, but I thought it would be fun to see just where people are on the Political Compass test. I'm guessing most people here will be pretty close to where I'm at. (I took the test in December 2014, but I don't think the test has changed and I certainly haven't.)

Take the test here.

Here is where they put the 2016 candidates on the graph, but I question the accuracy of Bernie's placement. The candidates didn't actually take the test. The site owner(s) guessed how they would have answered. Since I listened to Bernie for years on Brunch with Bernie and our views almost always aligned, I think Bernie would be further left and more libertarian if he actually took the test.

-9.13 x -7.23

I feel like I've seen exactly the same spot on the graph at least once in these comments.

That was fun and interesting!

Hi Ken --- thanks for introducing the political compass test --- damn, can't remember my score lol --- 8.?? economic and 6.?? social --- I agree, I think Bernie is probably way more left/libertarian.

ROFL, I posted this in the wrong thread

You folks made me dig up mine again but now I'm afraid I'm going to be voted off the island.

Do I still get to post here or do I need to go back to TOP?

A lot of wanderers in the U.S. political desert recognize that all the duopoly has to offer is a choice of mirages. Come, let us trudge towards empty expanse of sand #1, littered with the bleached bones of Deaniacs and Hope and Changers.
