now this is a suprise. My latest political compass results:

Economic Left/Right: -8.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.62

Your what like 20 man? Yeah by the time you're 30 you'll be a neo conservtive Tongue

You will be assimilated resistance is futile! hah

"Economic Left/Right: -8.88" should be translated as "I'm too young to have paid any significant taxes."

No offense, Red.  I actually considered myself a Socialist when I was in high school.  It's natural.

I would be a lot closer to Red's Libertarian score if not for my beliefs on abortion.

No way in hell does Bush believe in more personal freedom than Kerry.

I live just west of Centerville.

My views seem to have started going back the other way no, but I doubt it is indicative of a trend, rather just a stabilization.

Economic Left/Right: 2.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.46


Wow.  You're actually very close to me.  A bit more authoritarian, but almost in Moderate Republican territory.  I'm surprised at the red avatar, although I think you're probably comfortably within DLC-land.

I'm exactly where I thought I would be:



My views on drug policy will always push me to the "West"; furthermore, there was no question about abortion in the quiz.

Just for fun, here's where I see the parties living:



Wherever there is a border, you have people who could go either way, or some shared ideology.  For example, I think there IS a bit of common ground among Libertarians and Greens, which is why I made them border one another.  No border between Greens and Republicans, though Smiley

Centerville-You would feel most at home in Centerville, which means that you are more or less pleased the status quo-you think the US government has just about the right amount of control over your economic and personal decisions. Your neighbors include democratic and republican party leaders and others who call themselves "moderates" and "centrists."

I also agree that the positions of Bush and Kerry on this map are messed up. Kerry definitely believes in more personal freedom than Bush.


You are scary close to me.  All these Centrists like you and Tweed with Red avatars.  If the Democrats are that comfortable for Moderates, maybe I should come back to the party I abandoned in 1998.

My most recent political compass test seems to have nudged me further to the right on economy:

Economic Left/Right: 2.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.54


We are very close.  I'm a bit more centrist than you, but we're on the same "spoke of the wheel."
