    Here is the Political Compass test. Please take it and post your results in a reply to this thread.

    Please DO NOT complain about the test, criticise specific questions, suggest alternatives, etcetera. You can do that here instead. Derailing the thread in that way will make it more difficult for me to gather statistics, so please don't!

    The test is positively ancient by internet standards, but I thought it might be fun to compile some statistics on forum participants political orientations.

    All you need to do is take the test, and then copy and paste your results (the raw numbers) into a reply and post it.

    Like this:

    Economic Left/Right: -6.75
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.41

    That's my numbers from taking the test just now. Take the test! I will then make beautiful graphs (when we have enough respondents for it to be interesting.)

    Again, please don't do discussion/complaints about the test or other similar tests here. Do that over there.

    Uh... did you omit the negative signs accidentally somehow? This seems... at odds with your forum persona.

    I never agree with where I come out on these things. I don't know if that makes it a bad test or me a bad test-taker.*

    *My college transcripts think it's the latter.

    If I'm not mistaken that's further left and further down than the last time I took this. Isn't the opposite supposed to happen as you get older?

    Can't say I thought this was a very good test though it was just about the right length. Ten years ago I would have been hanging out with Maragaret Thatcher up in the Blue Blood quadrant so I've changed a lot :D
