Political Compass

There needed to be a fifth choice in the middle for when you couldn't really agree or disagree with the statement.

Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.74

I agree on the neutral standings.

Economic Left/Right: 1.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.18


I'd probably be a little more on the right side for economics, except with how they worded the questions pissed me off. Things like "I think large corporations should exploit workers in other countries" or h/e it was worded made be like "well, no, that isn't necessarily what I should happen, but I don't necessarily think offshoring is a bad thing." I also thought I'd be more Libertarian - actually I know I am.

I too was rather annoyed with some questions - their wording and the lack of a neutral/dont-know/I-dont-give-a-damn option.
And since I'm a bit lazy, I'll just mention that my result was similar to your's, just to the left for some reason. I think the sex and gender discrimination questions threw me to the left. It at least seemed like there was a heavier weight on those than most issues.

Economic Left/Right: -4.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.67

Economic Left/Right: -3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.26

I answered all those with strongly agree (where they'd be allowed to do things everyone else can do).

Economic Left/Right: -1.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.23.

As said before, I also had an issue with being forced to choose, rather than remaining neutral.

Economic Left/Right: -3.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.13

Just about what I was expecting.

I'm very surprised that 90% of people here are in the same quadrant. >_>

Dont know if serious.

Then perhaps those questions affect the Authoritarian/Libertarian axis, and it was the questions I felt neutral about that threw me off.

Economic Left/Right: -8.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44

Economic Left/Right: -3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.21

Isaac's result:


And he asked me to point out this thread, which is the same thing but like 1.5 years ago.

Can see some of your transformations. He's moved further to the left, interestingly.

I'm surprised no one has said anything about always being forced to agree or disagree.

I was going to, so now I'll just QFT this and other sentiments regarding question wording. It's not as specific as it could be, but whatevs.

And @Fiel: I'm not surprised, brah =/.

Oh nice. I went from -4.38, -2.72 to -3.00, -3.13

So I'm the farthest right-winged so far? YES

Should be ashamed.

There's nothing wrong with the true right. What most people see as the "right" is a more perverted view of basic right ideals. These people are more influenced by special interests than they are by their party's base. It kind of sucks to see my beliefs sort of turned into a bad thing just because idiots who claim to have the same beliefs as me are in the spotlight. Just because you are on the right doesn't mean you want to be a bigot about everything, shove Christianity down people's throats, unfairly favor large corporations, and fight meaningless wars.

One of the things that really grinds my gears is how bad the Tea Party has been perverted. The Tea Party movement is sort of something I've always wanted, a group that claims to want to take a more Libertarian approach to government, but alas now Palin is a face of it and that sort of kills the whole thing for a lot of people because she is an idiot.
