haha I can't stay away from these kinds of tests.... stupid green party.

I just used the chart that was posted at the start...

Where is the updated one?

a few pages back, obi

OK, there we go:

in which webdip's hackneyed conservative community self-destructs over infinite and infinitesimal internal differences

I kind of like that Goldinger has his own corner almost all to himself...

While it's a pileup in the Left/Libertarian corner, lol.

(I would identify more as Left-of-Center than Libertarian, as I've already stated my issues with that movement...but I'm in that happy middle ground between the border for Authoritarianism and Libertarian.)

Obi, you are solidly libertarian. If you were a happy medium, you would be righ on the line, not half way to extreme libertarian.

@obi: I have my quadrant as well, considering I don't believe Invictus to be a true conservative

What defines the centre of the compass? Is it a cross section of the US voting public?

I've haven't figured that out yet, but as redhouse is the closest to the center, you should ask him. In the meantime, I'll be waiting in the Conservative quadrant....

It's a little difficult to answer questions about a country that isn't my own but still...

It's really a trimodal distribution, (1) the liberals centered more or less around Thucy, (2) a cloud of people ranging from Goldfinger to Benjormungand who seem to lie on an access between more (GF) and less (Ben) government and (3).. Sbyvl.

@Hereward: Looks like you agree with everyone!

+1 Redhouse.

I think its impossible for one person to share the entirety of their views with a specific political party, and even more impossible to fully elucidate those beliefs with a ten minute political quiz and somehow translating opinions into numbers. Political views are much more idiosyncratic than that. My Green and Democrat percentages were virtually identical (94 and 95, respectively), but that hardly implies that the Green and Democrat parties share the same views. Most people, in my experience, tend to vote on a few issues that they feel strongly about, and most are apathetic in others. My most important issues - technology, education, science - only had three or four questions, and the generalizations made by those questions just happened to line up with Democrats, although I'd hardly say I agree with every educational policy currently in place. These quizzes are entirely self-reinforcing anyway. Political masturbation. HEY LOOK I DON'T AGREE WITH SBYVL NOW I HAVE MATH TO SHOW IT. If only politics were as easy as a short questionnaire.

Sbyvl is the Z axis on a linear graph.

@sbyvl:

It looks like Hereward's sitting in your corner too...

@Draug:

Maybe, but I mean in terms of voting/identifying as libertarian...

I think most of the questions I answered that got me towards the Libertarian side were more in opposition to Authoritarian ideals than in favor of Libertarian ones, if that makes sense...

Sort of the way a lot of Republicans were voting more anti-Obama than pro-Romney in the last election...their votes were based more off opposing someone/something they hated rather than really loving and embracing Mitt...which I'd argue for many conservatives 1. Never really happened or 2. Embraced him way too awkwardly and late in the game once it became clear it was him or 4 more years of *Insert Stupid Republican Pun on Obama's Name Here.*

Stinking commie, hoser.

-6.5, -7.7

Good for you, Yonni. Now pay up.

Yeah for the record I felt the quiz put too low on the y-axis. About on the x-axis.

But I'm generally fairly supportive of government regulation of behavior, such as seatbelt laws, mandatory vaccination, limiting unhealthy behavior like fast food consumption, speed limits, alcohol laws, close regulation of sex markets, etc. I think a free hand in a lot of areas creates misery and chaos lol. But you wouldn't think so to look at my position in the bottom left.

I also generally support political unification rather than disintegration or dissolution, which would seem to want to move me further north as well.

"such as seatbelt laws" You know those are atstae laws, not federal, right?

state...

"limiting unhealthy behavior like fast food consumption" And thank God these *don't* exist outside of NYC's attempts.

Here it is with me added in.

not here to argue about it, those are my views.

anyway, i said government regulation, not federal regulation.

I'd expect no less from a socialist Brit, Thucy.

You know what I'm seeing? The leftists are conformists: all bunched in there together, sharing the same views. The Right is much more diverse.

" I have my quadrant as well, considering I don't believe Invictus to be a true conservative"

I'll have to watch my back at the next party purge, then. I suppose believing in limited government, individual liberty, free markets, low taxes, sound money, a robust national defense, God, and school vouchers isn't enough to be a True Conservative anymore. The fact that I voted for a Democrat as Champaign county coroner in 2008 (his opponent was a Green) must rule me out too, despite all the rest in my three elections being Republicans. It's people like you, Syblv36, who are doing real harm to the GOP.


And, just so we remember, this test is deeply flawed to the point of being basically useless.

Do over with the eviloution answer corrected. Also I see that AGW isn't even part of the science group, but the environmental group instead. That's misleading. I disagree with the science part of AWG. I guess this quiz thinks the science is settled too.

American politics is a sham. Your country is controlled by corporations. Obama and Romney are "brands" of the same item.

Rise up, rubes!
