Where do you stand politically?

The elections are coming up. So assuming that you aren’t one of the apathetic sheep, too timid to voice your views while being more than willing to follow the shepherd to your slaughter, you will be voting. It’s hard enough to determine where the candidates stand with all that political double-talk. If you don’t have a clear understanding of where your opinions fall on the political scale, how can you vote for those who best represent your ideals?

Right or left? Authoritarian or libertarian? How can you summarize your political beliefs among all these labels? Thank goodness there’s now a test to help you understand your political standing. Please go to: http://politicalcompass.org/test and answer the questions honestly. Then you can post your results here and compare yourself to our political candidates.

After taking the test myself, I got the following results:
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.87

Personally, I’m glad to discover that my views are nearly polar opposites to Hitler on the social scale. Yet I can’t help but worry about how close the current Republican party candidates are to seeing things just as he did.

So what’s your score?
