Political compass II
If people want to post their Political Compass scores again now, I promise to graph them again, like I did on
this thread from 2002 which we briefly revisited in January. The test takes 5 minutes and is interesting. My new numbers: Economic Left/Right: 1.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.97 |

I think this line's mostly filler.

Economic: 1.5
Authoritarian: -4.36 Many of the questions contained assumptions I didn't agree with, so I think it tends to measure me inaccurately. |

I think it's amusing that most of the world leaders are all on the authoritarian side of things. Of course they are. They are the authorities. Of course they think they should be able to tell everyone what to do.

Thanks UT, for renewing this idea. I would like to see a chart with the posted names and numbers. You know what else would be cool, would be to see the old numbers and the new numbers superimposed on each other. I, for one, find my new numbers very different economically, but almost unchanged in the social dimension.
Old Numbers Economic Left/Right: -6.12 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.28 New Numbers Economic Left/Right: -3.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.49 For your reference, here is the thread to the previous incarnation. (Not that you couldn't find it, just trying to be helpful )

admit it, you were just looking for any excuse to post a link. UT put the link in the very first post of this thread... but nooooo BigV has to linklinklinklink.

As to measuring inaccurately, perhaps. But if we all use the same wrong scale, then the relative differences will be neglible, even if the starting point is wrong compared to an outside source.

l123, you've called me on this before--twice, in fact. Once in fun, and once as a compliment. I think this reveals a deep insecurity in me. I need to be believed, trusted and by providing the "evidence" (hey, if it wasn't true they wouldn't print it on the internet, right ). The links may be a way of pre-empting any criticism. Either that, or I just didn't read the opening post carefully enough.
