    Following on from my last post about authoritarian and libertarian/right and left wing, I wondered how many people have actually completed this survey before.

    https://www.politicalcompass.org/test

    I'm always keen to see what others get when completing it and how they feel it matches up to their actual default political stance.

    Post your compass below... if you dare.

    I thought I was closer to centrist than this.

    I'd probably put myself closer to authoritarian than this nowadays, but this quiz doesn't really ask the right questions to get into that as it seems to see authoritarianism as synonymous with a specific type of social conservatism...

    But if you asked me, I wouldn't describe myself as left. I think this is a big part of the problem.

    I did one of these before. And was further towards the centre.

    If this is accurate, I guess my values have slightly changed over the last 10 years.[​IMG]

    Can't be arsed to snip copy and paste it, but I was almost bang in the middle, just a shade in the authoritarian left quadrant.

    Some of the questions are a bit ambiguous though.

    Cracking little test, I'm an extreme libertarian lefty. What I thought, the older I get the more left I go.
