What's your political compass?
Hey guys,
There's an updated version of the political compass quiz online and I'm curious about what you guys get. I think most people here are centre left but I'm not sure.
This is my result:
More Gandhi than Gandhi. I'll take it.

Welcome Back Flog.
I got about the same as last time.
Economic Left/Right: -7.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.1
Well, kinda saw that coming.
Economic Left/Right: -4.0
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.77
Same as last time.
I'm really not big on politics, but whatever.
Seeing as how I'm allegedly about the same as Gandhi according to this thing, I reject these findings.

Economic Left/Right: -3.38

I was previously pretty solidly in the green, but now I'm slightly in the purple.
The political figures markings are rough, as they obviously didnt take the questionnaire, but the questions give a fairly accurate view of it.
It basically comes down to 'Do you want the government to define people or people to define the government' (up/down respectively) and 'What's more important: social equality or free economy' (left/right respectively), so we'd both believe in representative, non-totalitarian government and equal rights for men and women, white and black people, straight and gay people etc. etc. over a persons right to fire whoever they want, hire whoever they want and use their money for whatever they want.
That's oversimplified, but it does work.
It's also worded in a way that, to me, makes the authoritarian/libertarian bar pointless. Most of the questions assumed that there should be some form of government.
For the hell of it, I did a "scumbag" run-through
Yeah because there can't be no government tomorrow really, but there were questions which were definitely steps towards it I thought.
Interesting.
Just in case, there was already a thread like this one. http://www.telltalegames.com/community/discussion/90272/the-political-compass
Among my answers:
Fuck multinational corporations
Authority should be questioned
Religion doesn't institute values
People that choose not to work shouldn't be helped
Its a woman's choice as well as the doctor whether abortion should be carried out
Sex is gaining far too much openness within our society
The production of warheads should decrease if we are ever to continue to evolve as a society
Fuck eye for an eye
and lastly, there's too much concern on and funding being spent on counter-terrorism which is exceedingly decreasing the value of our culture
Apparently I'm quite extremely Libertarian which doesn't surprise me all that much.
I'm almost dead centre but very slightly left authoritarian.
Economic Left/Right: -3.5
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.38
