Left Wing or Right Wing? Take Pop Quiz in OP!

[JMoney]

Not the best way to find your place in the political spectrum, this test. In my case, however, the results are quite accurate.

Economic Left/Right: -7.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.67

That's some extreme views there.

I think the political grid would be better represented using a third axis of some sort. A lot of my views which I feel are important to my beliefs aren't as important to others, and thus weren't asked about in the quiz. I consider myself a Republican, as I would run as a Republican if I ran for office, but in truth my views are quite different from most GOP politicians, while being even further from the Democrats.

Care to elaborate what that third axis should represent?

I would like it if there was a "partly disagree/partly agree" option. I took a test like this in Grade 11 social studies class and there were such options. Regardless, I decided to give this thing a shot. Here's where I stand:

Economic left/right:-3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.56

 

[MisterWhiskers]

I expected it to be more libertarian

 

[JMoney]

Care to elaborate what that third axis should represent?

Perhaps Globalization versus Isolation.

 

[ukfan758]

I thought I would be more to the right...

 

[Aki Ko]

Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.33

I figured I'd be in the left and libertarian zone. The arguments between these groups are ridiculous though.

 

[Ettick]

A couple years ago I was a straight up communist. My mind changed as I questioned my beliefs more.

 

[Bo]

Surprised it's that... extreme. Figured I'd be around Left/Libertarian, but not by that much.

 

[Ken]

Right where I thought I would be.

Right where I thought I would be.

Almost identical to mine.

I feel like taking this again. It's been some time and I may have changed my political leanings subconsciously.

*checks balance without bouncing.

Nothing's changed much.

 

[wvmgmidget]

There should be a neutral answer. It would be slightly closer to moderate socially if there was but anyway here's mine

I can't copy and paste the image, but you can probably guess where I fall - in the libertarian left. As a reference point, I'm closest to Alexis Tsipras, though with a slightly further along the libertarian axis. Pretty close to @niky, in fact.

[PeterJB]

I appear to be gradually getting more authoritarian.

 

[Prenny]

Economic Left/Right: 0.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.56

 

[Fryto]

A little more to the left than I thought I would be:

 

[Furinkazen]

Never ever taken an interest in political "wings" so this should be interesting:

Closest to Gandhi apparently.

 

[axletramp]

Oh.

 

[Liquid]

@axelschmidt With those results the 'tramp' part of your name will soon disappear without explanation.

 

[Dennisch]

Oh.

Another piece of the puzzle.



Also

I am a lefty. Something must have gone wrong.

 

[Prenny]

Oh.

I See what you did there.

 

[Lizard]

Another piece of the puzzle.

I am a lefty. Something must have gone wrong.

You were born in Europe. It corrupted you.

 

[jacnob]

Not particularly different from what I expected.
