    Not very surprising.

    I tried to put an image, I don't think it worked, so here:
    Economic Left/Right: -7.75
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.44

    I got basically what I expected to get, that being left of centre left but right of the extreme left.

    From the very first question, the test is laughably biased. Few but the most cruel and callous would prioritise a vague transnational business entity over humanity in general - instead, the debate occurs over whether those entities are a successful mechanism to achieve human happiness, prosperity and good society. Another example is that it elsewhere on the site glibly describes the TPP as "sovereignty-killing" without the slightest analysis.

    I did take the test, even if I did find it remarkably poorly framed. I got economic left -1 and social left -4.15.

    It's a pretty obviously biased test but my results were as follows:

    Economic Left/Right: -4.25
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.05

    Interesting.

    I personally value peace, justice, and security above limitless freedom. I'm what most people where I live call "un-American" in the sense that I feel that regardless of someone's birth conditions like race and gender and class that it's a meaningless statistic and we should just treat them as human, alongside the fact that I believe cruel and manipulative and exploiting parents should not be allowed to reproduce and real weapons should be owned only by infantry. I'm also quite for separation of church and state, valuing the civil rights of individuals over the power of the majority to force their beliefs on the rest.

    I wonder if I'm "un-Canadian" or if my thoughts are less "blasphemous" there.

    I got -9 for economy and -5.59 for libertarian vs authoritarian.

    So basically, I'm super left in politics and more on the fence about libertarian/authoritarian.

    Though, I agree that the test was pretty biased and it seems hard to get the real answer with it.

    I agree, a few things were not properly stated in my opinion.

    My results are:
    Economic left/right: -4.64
    Social libertarian/authoritarian: -6.92

    It's funny to see that I'm close to the green party of 2015 (of the UK):

    It's funny that I usually get "green party" out of those tests. :lol: However, the chart shows that socially libertarian stances are underrepresented (in the UK in 2015 at least, if the chart is accurate).

    It's a rather crude test, but these are my results:

    Economic left/right: -4.88
    Social libertarian/authoritarian: -5.49

    According to the chart, I'm politically close to the Green Party, but that's not actually a fair representation of my politics.

    Okay, so I created a chart with that website that basically shows all* of your positions. It's pretty funny to see them in one chart. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    * I couldn't retrieve the coordinates from jaska and Robert, so I did not include them in the chart (I didn't want to guess). Hopefully I didn't miss anyone.

    -8 social, -8.75 economic

    I used to be very far to the libertarian right (anarcho-capitalism), but I've grown far less idealistic and lost most of my faith in humanity's ability to police itself in the past 5 years or so.
