The political Compass test

Interesting, I'm barely in your quadrant. About just as far down the Libertarian but I'm straddling the line between the Left and Right. I think if the questions were worded a bit differently I'd be farther right and more Libertarian. But they often ask questions like do I think big business is exploiting underdeveloped countries. Which I do. However I wouldn't try to do anything about it. That's up to that country to do something. So it's a bit skewed.

I felt the questions were skewed too, but that might be the point.

*shrug* I'm at (-9.25, -8.31), but you have to remember that the original two-axis test that this test is clearly based on was designed to "convince" you that you (generic 'you,' here) should join the Libertarian party machine and give them money. It even had the Libertarian party position (no social control, no economic control - (10, -10) on this version) as the top corner! This version seems to have been significantly Europed up.

I'm about equal with the Dalai Lama... -5.38, -5.79 curiously enough.

That site says that Hitler killed half the world's population, but it was actually about 1.5-2%. What an odd exaggeration.

[shefsatyr]

Maybe they meant the world population of Jews, or gypsies or something like that. Besides I'm pretty sure Hitler only killed like one person.. himself. I mean if you wanna get all technical and stuff. Damn statistics.

No it says that he would have been willing to if it meant securing an authoritarian govt.

It makes no claim to him actually having done so. Given his path of destruction I'd say that's a fair generalization.

Ah, I misread it. Never mind.
