yes about half the questions in the test are BS, they required me to answer in a way I would not want to, to get the 'more' libertarian result.

the chart itself is BS, you can't be fully free market and fully authoritarian, just as you can't be fully socialist and still support freedom.

BTW to those who get those type of results, you are complete and utterly retarded

Re: political compass thread

yeah

the questions in favour of free market policies are asked in such a way that basically nobody would "agree" with them



i'm assuming my circle would be a bit further to the right on the economic slider if the questions werent garbage

Re: political compass thread

nah i'd say that's about right
no i mean even you said you had to reply to some questions in a way you wouldnt agree with them to bring your results more in line with what you percieve your ideological stance is

i think only a sociopath would actually "agree" with some of these loaded questions

Re: political compass thread




yeah, so there are an equal number of left and right wing strongly agree (and hence disagree) questions, and slightly more authoritarian than libertarian
