SMAC-DG Political Compass
Annoucement from Pandemoniak :
I recenlty had the visit of a Pace New member, here at the CCCP office. This person told me about the needs of a political compass. Despite his view were quite oldfashioned and not really related to our future on Planet, I listened carefully. His proposal was that everyone who want can answer a test . The answer will give an approximation of political views, based on two scales : left and right, and authoritarian/libertarian. I liked the idea, and I decided to go further. If willing persons can post here their results, I'll update a graphic where it sums up this compass, quoting the names and parties of each.
Please feedback

This test won't give anything approaching a realistic answer. By simply being non-homophobic in my answers, I seem to have completly screwed their results.
But anyway...
Economic Left/Right: 5.88
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -0.62

The test has declared me a Leftist Libertarian, but I suspect that unless you're a complete fascist and haven't got even little respect for human rights, you're a Leftist and Liberal.
Edit: cleared my point a bit. Bad English Day and all.

*Nods* The questions are certainly biased that way.

Libertarian left. My little dot was pretty close to the center, surprisingly.

Left liberal of course, just like I expected.
Economic Left/Right: -5.38
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -1.90
The test is indeed very biased towards that corner. Just have a look at this graph:

There was a thread in the OT about this? Or did you just make up answers for them?

This is the thread. I advise you to ignore the posts of Fez... 
Pandemoniak called me a maoist in it.  I wonder if I should consider that an improvement...

Kassiopeia, what are your precise stats? This will allows Pandemoniak to make a graph.

Can't remember for the life of me - but, I could do it once more, just for the fun of it.

Frankly, that's more left/lib then I had expected. No, I won't join CCCP.
Silly test...

Looking at it... holy ****! But, the test really is silly! What is this 'our country'? Finland? The US? I suspected the latter and voiced my honest opinion.

Ok, FlameFlash, I'll abuse the hard labour of red_jon again. Btw, aren't you quite economically right for being in the CDC?

Because your points make me think, they make me happily agree with you.

Vlad's test listed me as a Libertarian, a tad more conservative then him. Tests really don't cut it out when it comes to politics.

Like I said, these tests have you as a lefty even if you wouldn't think of yourself as one.
