Wow, my quadrant is very lonely. I'm in the lower right.

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 7.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.41


I'm between Nelson Mandella and The Dalai Lama as far as my non-authoritarianism (aka libertarianism) and I'm very much on the right for economics. I'm nearly in the exact position as Milton Friedman, only slightly less authoritarian (more libertarian) than him.

Good question. Why don't you ask him?

Old numbas

Economic Left/Right: 4.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.62

New numbas (15 yrs later)

Economic Left/Right: 0.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.67

I did score -3 on the Social at some point, it would be interesting to work out which questions led to that

I was gonna take the test but couldn't get past the first statement...

If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

I know what I think the statement means but I don't know what they actually mean.
