Anyone ever take this?


https://www.politicalcompass.org/test


I know some of the questions are worded badly. Like the one about a woman having a “duty” to be a SAHM basically. I disageed with that because of the word “duty” but if it was worded “is it generally better for society if a child has a stay at home mother” I would have agreed…


Anyway, I would have thought I would have come out center right….came out a little further left than I thought.

I will say I didn’t know the answer to a few of the questions. I don’t know what’s more important lowering inflation or lowering unemployment for example. I also had no clue what they were asking on the global economic/ trans global questions. But that is probably pretty close to where I belong

Quite a few that I was neutral on but had to choose one side. I'm probably a littler farther down socially than this, and probably a little further right economically, but it's in the general vicinity that I would expect.

Funny, but I think Adolph would be pretty far up the authoritarian Y axis…but still funny comment

I always thought that I was liberally conservative.  And Justin, Adolf says that Rogers is a punk ass bitch

Some of the questions were horrbily worded, but still fun.

You're right about the wording. I feel like my answers to the questions as worded don't reflect what they are asking. Like is it important for MY kids to get an education? Yes, do I think that all kids should get a religious education? no. I think I'll do it again and change my answers on questions like that, see what it says.

so when i did it again, answering the questions how i think they are asking them, i'm a little more libertarian and quite a bit less liberal.

I got kind of what JCrazy got on his first one, but as said before, there are a number of questions that were awkwardly phrased. Or at least in a way where I thought the question had a lot of gray area and "agree" "strongly disagree" and so on did not reflect it.

And yes, not savvy enough to just insert the chart. And too lazy to bother with finding the way to do so.

Nearly identical to mine - I was ever slightly more to the right, and big shocker that I was one lower toward libertarian

Though I found the wording of some of those questions problematic, especially when there's no "don't care" or "N/A" options.

My economic leanings I suppose are right leaning in the sense that free markets are a conservative view, though "conservative" and "right/Republican" have become increasingly disjointed.

Socially I'm fairly liberal, but in today's age a rational view on social issues I guess is automatically right-of-center.

Anyone else wondering how many tries it took JMOG to produce his posted result? :)

Several years ago this test was much better worded with more thoughtful questions imo. Not sure why the creators changed it so much.

Here's mine:
