Kaftan Barlast Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 http://www.politicalcompass.org/ This is a site with a test to determine where you stand politicly. Its not as elaborate as one would wish buts its one of the better ones out there. I dont consider myself anything so its fun to see what these things say(this one did place me almost ideologicly similar to Ghandi). Does anyone know of any other similar sites or tests? it would be nice to get "a second opinion". DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture. "I suppose outright stupidity and complete lack of taste could also be considered points of view. "
Judge Hades Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 I am fairly cose to Ghandi as well. Imagine that.

deganawida Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Right in the middle born druid see <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Eh, what can I say. I live my life based on moderation in all things. However, I consider this to only be the ethical and not moral scale of the DnD alignment system.
draakh_kimera Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 I'm close to Ghandi as well. So he couldn't have been that bad
Dakoth Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Don't really know how accurate it is as I seem to have come out near Ghandi as well.
taks Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Does anyone know of any other similar sites or tests? it would be nice to get "a second opinion". <{POST_SNAPBACK}> there was a really good one we linked to through misstresslair a while back, though that was before her boards started crashing causing a loss of old data. it tested 8 or so different areas and each had 50 or so questions. extremely detailed and actually pretty correct. not just right/left, but it would associate a number based on your individualism, collectivism, nationalism, etc. not surprisingly enough, all of my scores were over 90% in one direction or the other, and most were 98% or greater (a 50% in any area indicated neutral opinion on the matter). i.e. my views are extreme (hmm, die-hard is a better term) and quite consistent. the outcome, actually, put me squarely in the middle, politically speaking and referred me to the libertarian boards (they have a dozen or so forums for each of the "classifications" that crop up)... taks comrade taks... just because.

Sirus Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 I took it a while ago and am too lazy to take it again. I think I was somewhere near Gandhi but more near the center.
Percival Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 I'm left of Ghandi. And I'm surprised at the number of Ghandi followers in this thread. Usually with this test on other boards, the results have much more variety.
213374U Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 The questions are too simplified for the test to yield an accurate result. From what I've seen you would have to be authoritarian by nazi standards to be portrayed as 'righty' by the test. Feh. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Rosbjerg Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 well the use of words are sometimes a little geared towards a particular answer .. "It is regrettable that many personal fortunes are made by people who simply manipulate money and contribute nothing to their society." words like "manipulate" and "contribute nothing" triggers a negative respons in most people .. "Governments should penalise businesses that mislead the public." "mislead" in this context isn't very positive either .. and I'm a Economic Left/Right: -3.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.49 I struck the exact point of Dalai Lama .. haha there's also a graph further down .. with more leaders Fortune favors the bald.
Phosphor Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 I found there were quite a few questions containing a double negative in the statement, which can be easily confusing and cause a person to misunderstand the question or statement.

Oerwinde Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 I took this one a while ago, but it put me really far left, with a libertarian/authoritarian score close to 0. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Laozi Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Economic Left/Right -4.88 SL/A -7.03 I've always sort of considered myself somewhat as either cautious socialist or a trade union anarchist, depending on the people's want for or against a national government, but I've always believed in state's rights I guess I'm flexable People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
