Id link the Graph But I dont think it would work...
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 7.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.15
Also that was By far the most Liberal Worded Poll Ive ever taken.....
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude; greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
Samuel Adams
The Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: 3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.13
Much agreed. You can easily see the bias. They did need to add a fifth option of "neutral" as well.
Economic Left/Right: -3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.23
slightly Leftish and a lot liberarian it seems. Almost on the same spot with Dalai Lama:P
A friend is not him who provides support during your failures.A friend is the one that cheers you during your successes.
Looks like I am fucking leftie.
Nearly exactly same spot as Dalai Lama.
dood, i got heart and soul rolled by you! :P
Ok here is mine
The criticism of this poll though is that it does lean to libertarianism and was invented by them too.
As deckron says a neutral view is needed.
"The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur." -George W. Bush, discussing the decline of the French economy with British Prime Minister Tony Blair
The test itself was baited. The majority of the questions did not have my answer for an option. I did not agree with the answer options at all.
I was unable to get results because my answers were not on the test itself.
I agree, the options should have all had neutral options. Even still I took the test ended as a liberal lefty.

You wouldn't understand
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
I'm very far to the right I have to say. This one was slightly better than the previous one posted here: this one didn't compare by opinions with the current American laws making me get the most extreme left... The test does seem kind of inaccurate though considering that the most previous posters have got more or less the same spot.
If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.
I do not believe it is inevitable at all. It is a choice, and depending on the size of the nation and the resources in question the nation could survive separate on it's own better than the global financial structures currently in place. Even if a ountry is currently tied into the world economy, they could reverse that decision at any time. The government should not be meddling in the economy at all therfor it would have no say on this question whatsoever.
I'd always support my country, whether it was right or wrong.
disagree.
No one chooses his or her country of birth, so it's foolish to be proud of it.
strongly disagree
Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races.
strongly disagree, and am wondering why there are so many baited racist questions on this test taking up space where REAL political issues should be.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Disagree because the wording of the statement itself. The enemy of my enemy could be my ally depending on their methods and views.
Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified.
agree
There is now a worrying fusion of information and entertainment.
This may be true, but it is not the governments place to control information. Control of information isa form of mind control, and should not be tolerated by any society.
People are ultimately divided more by class than by nationality.
I disagree that it is either class or nationality that divides the people, but core beliefs. Moreso the greatest division among people today is whether or not government should control the people or it should protect the peoples freedoms. The government should simply protect rights not control them.
Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment.
The government should not be controlling either.
Because corporations cannot be trusted to voluntarily protect the environment, they require regulation.
it is not up to the government or anyone else to tell someone what they can do with their business as long as it does not infringe upon their rights.
"from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is a fundamentally good idea.
"To each his own " is a better one. People are only limited by their own ability, however humans can even overcome these obstacles and do more than they were ever believed able to.
It's a sad reflection on our society that something as basic as drinking water is now a bottled, branded consumer product.
Disagree, they pay to purify the water, if they choose to do that they should be able to sell it. If you choose to grow strawberries in your garden you can choose to sell them. If you grow flowers you do the work, they are yours and you can sell them. They are spending their time and efort to bring the bottled water to us, and they should be compensated for doing so.
Land shouldn't be a commodity to be bought and sold.
disagree.
It is regrettable that many personal fortunes are made by people who simply manipulate money and contribute nothing to their society.
disagree, why would I care what someone else is doing with their time/ efforts. Who am I to judge as to whether or not they are contributing. It does not bother me what other people do with their time and money, To each his own.
Protectionism is sometimes necessary in trade.
Yes, to a point but I do think that it should be left up to local communites rather than the federal government. each state should decide what they want to allow take place in their state. Each city within that state should have the ultimate say so as to what is best for their community, and not have it dictated to them from somewhere else. just as states should overide the feds, the cities themselves should override the state on this matter.
The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholders
This is true to an extent, but if you do not make responsible products you will lose customers which then results in loss of profit. so it would also be true and good business practice to focus on your social responsibility to your customers as your first priority and the stockholders will profit from doing so.
The rich are too highly taxed.
Everyone including the rich are too highly taxed.
Those with the ability to pay should have the right to higher standards of medical care
I agree, if you can afford to have things done your way rather than the standard way you should be able to get what you want.You should be able to fly to another state, or country if you want to have procedures done by a different doctor, or even be able to try more expiermental treatments that are not yet approved for standrad care if you so wish. IF you cannot afford to do that, you should not expect others to pay for it for you. However, you are more than welcome to open a charity fund to raise the money to do so, as we do in my community regularly to raise money for families in need. Where I live it is a choice, and those who need the care usually raise much more than was needed for the care and put the excess in funds for other needy families and use it to fund finding cures to these conditions. I think the community handles it pretty well here, and do not think this should be determined at a federal level.
Governments should penalise businesses that mislead the public.
The government should not be involved with anything other than upholding and protecting our constitutional rights, if the business is not infringing upon those rights or endangering anyone, I see no reason for the government to have a say in this matter at all. This should be left up to local cities to determine what they want to happen or allow in their own city.
A genuine free market requires restrictions on the ability of predator multinationals to create monopolies.
strongly disagree.
The freer the market, the freer the people.
strongly agree.
Abortion, when the woman's life is not threatened, should always be illegal.
Agree, because the childs life is just as important as the mothers.
All authority should be questioned.
Agree.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
agree.
Taxpayers should not be expected to prop up any theatres or museums that cannot survive on a commercial basis.
Strongly agree, they can have fundraisers, and chairities to support these things, and it should not be required by the taxpayers.
Schools should not make classroom attendance compulsory.
A childs education should be determined by their performance, not their attendance record. Regardless of number of days missed if their work is complete and up to par, attendence should be insignificant.
All people have their rights, but it is better for all of us that different sorts of people should keep to their own kind.
strongly disagree, and why did they even bother putting this BS in the test?
Good parents sometimes have to spank their children.
Agree
It's natural for children to keep some secrets from their parents.
Agree
Possessing marijuana for personal use should not be a criminal offence.
Agree, I see nothing in the constitution that says otherwise.
The prime function of schooling should be to equip the future generation to find jobs.
Disagree, the prime function of schooling should be to truely educate the child, teach them the necessary skills needed to adapt and to think for themselves so that no matter the work changes in the future they will know how to adapt and learn. not steer them to what others deem they should do in the workforce. That form of control of information is mind control.
People with serious inheritable disabilities should not be allowed to reproduce
Strongly disagree, it is not our place to determine what others do with their own lives, or deny them the right to a family.
The most important thing for children to learn is to accept discipline.
Strongly disagree. It is love, kindness, and the willingness to learn from mistakes. They will respect nothing if they love nothing, without love they have nothing to be responsible for.
There are no savage and civilised peoples; there are only different cultures.
Disagree
Those who are able to work, and refuse the opportunity, should not expect society's support.
Strongly agree.
When you are troubled, it's better not to think about it, but to keep busy with more cheerful things.
Disagree, it is better to work for and actively seek a solution to the problem.
First-generation immigrants can never be fully integrated within their new country.
Strongly disagree, I have neighbors from all over the world that are more patriotic and love the constitution moreso than many that were born here. They came here by choice, many were just born here. Many of these first generation immigrants waver their american flags more proudly than those around them.
What's good for the most successful corporations is always, ultimately, good for all of us.
Disagree, that again to each his own. Just because something may be good for them, we should be able to do things other ways as well. That is not up for the government to dictate.
No broadcasting institution, however independent its content, should receive public funding.
I agree, however if they wish to start their own fund and allow for donations they are more than welcome to.

The Official God FAQ
This test is really bias in it's wording. A lot of the time they will have statements like "Ultimatly people are more divided by class than by nationality," which I agree with but they assume my agreement means that I am in favour of wealth redistribution. Or they pose a question like the one about globalization and then create a situation where you can only help the people or corporations, one has to suffer for the other, which I don't think is true at all.
I think this Test is more even handed with its questions. And gives a neutral option.
Don't you worry little buddy. You're dealing with a man of honor. However, honor requires a higher percentage of profit
Political ideology is relatively meaningless in the grand scheme of themes. Every talk with someone who is a Ph.D. candidate in "Political Science"?
The effort to force socialists to become scientists, or worse, mathematicians has produced some strange results.
In truth, however, ideology is meaningless; it really is. What matters are two parties, and how they divide the pie. Ideology seems important such as conservatism in the Bush Admin, but they just divided the pie for "religion" to their friends who ran mega-churches. The impact for helping YOU was limited if not expensive, really.
Hm no surprise here; tho I am deeply devided. In some questions I am spread all over the chart. But overall as I expected. I am a socialist and anarchist, teh. All for the welfare of the people with as less rules as possible.

"The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur." -George W. Bush, discussing the decline of the French economy with British Prime Minister Tony Blair
I'd bet that if G.W. Bush and Obama took this test, honestly, they'd have the exact same hardcore authoritarian results.
