Political compass II - Page 2

Thanks UT, for renewing this idea. I would like to see a chart with the posted names and numbers. You know what else would be cool, would be to see the old numbers and the new numbers superimposed on each other. I, for one, find my new numbers very different economically, but almost unchanged in the social dimension.

Old Numbers
Economic Left/Right: -6.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.28

New Numbers
Economic Left/Right: -3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.49

For your reference, here is the thread to the previous incarnation. (Not that you couldn't find it, just trying to be helpful

)

admit it, you were just looking for any excuse to post a link. UT put the link in the very first post of this thread... but nooooo BigV has to linklinklinklink.

By God, you're right!

l123, you've called me on this before--twice, in fact.

Once in fun, and once as a compliment.

I think this reveals a deep insecurity in me. I need to be believed, trusted and by providing the "evidence" (hey, if it wasn't true they wouldn't print it on the internet, right

). The links may be a way of pre-empting any criticism.

Either that, or I just didn't read the opening post carefully enough.

or its possible that i just like to ridicule people to compensate for my extremely low self esteem. er, something.

Urbane Guerrilla · 06-20-2006, 12:04 PM

Economic Left/Right: 3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.74

I answered a bit more to the center this time -- for these questions, anyway. 2005 numbers were Economic Left/Right 6.0, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -2.46.

BigV · 06-08-2005, 01:05 PM

By the way, l123, two more points, (no links). First, thanks for the belly laugh! That was really funny!! Second, your score post with the question that you took issue with, (see, no link, but I could have.{where's the :tongueout-nyah-nyah: smilie?}) I agree with your position. Family first. Seeing the question before I got the the quiz wasn't exactly a "spoiler" but it certainly was an "influencer".

Good Call.

always happy to make another laugh. except in the locker room. the pointing that goes along with the laughing is kind of embarrassing.

Heheheh...

Reminds me an exchange in an episode of Fawlty Towers I watched this weekend:

Basil: (reminiscing with his wife about their relationship during their courtship) "Still, we laughed a lot, didn't we, Sybil?"

Sybil: "Yes, dear. But not at the same time."

rofl!

Economic Left/Right: 5.13
Authoritarian/Libertarian: 2.97

(old score, in Nov 2002, was 2.50/0.92)

P.S. I read through <strike>some</strike> most of the scores. You horde of raging lefties, you!

Clodfobble · 06-08-2005, 01:19 PM

Economic Left/Right: 1.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.26

So far the only one more moderate than me was lookout, which is somewhat surprising to me. Anyway, I had a problem with another question:

"Sex outside of marriage is almost always immoral."

I ultimately answered it as if they meant "pre-marital sex," and not "adultery," but I debated for awhile what they meant.
