We've had Political Compass topics on SEN before but I recently discovered a scaled-down version of the quiz (for those with short attention spans
) with questions which concentrate more on American issues rather than the general nature of the questions on the regular political compass site.
There's been a bit of confusion over just what a person with particular views should be described as, so this might help clear things up (though the definitions are still, irritatingly, using American terminology
).

This is what it says I am: Economic score: -1.55
Social score: -2.96
Your score pegs you as economically centre-leftist and socially centre-libertarian.
Economic centre-leftists typically support above average controls on free trade, raising or maintaining the current tax levels, but still support free trade.
Social centre-libertarians generally have moderate social views, with a slight lean toward avoiding government intervention. However, they support government intervention in matters that they see as threats to society.
In Europe this position would fall under the category of
Social Liberalism, which I support so long as it doesn't go too far. Its basic premise is that true freedom of the individual cannot happen without the assistance of society (embodied by the state).
None.

Your score pegs you as economically centre-leftist and socially moderately libertarian.
Economic centre-leftists typically support above average controls on free trade, raising or maintaining the current tax levels, but still support free trade.

That was somewhat expected

Your score pegs you as economically centre-leftist and socially libertarian.
Economic centre-leftists typically support above average controls on free trade, raising or maintaining the current tax levels, but still support free trade.
Social libertarians generally believe that the government should not judge morality, and are generally against the illegalization of things that do not directly affect other people in a negative way. Many strong social libertarians may also be social progressives, favouring legislation to correct what they see as socially backwards governmental regulation, although some simply wish for the government to make little judgment on social matters.
I thought I would be more heavily liberal instead of near libertarians.

Frankly, I preferred the other compass quiz. I like my thoroughness.

Your score pegs you as economically centre-leftist and socially far-leftist.
Economic centre-leftists typically support above average controls on free trade, raising or maintaining the current tax levels, but still support free trade.
Social far-leftists generally believe that the government has no business enforcing morality on most matters, instead favouring a government that intervenes only when absolutely necessary to avoid direct harm. Many social far-leftists also look negatively on the government's past attitudes toward groups they view as persecuted, although some simply oppose government intervention on utilitarianist grounds.
None.

Though the reason is because I chose neutral a lot, because I couldn't really disagree or really agree with doing some of the stuff. Some of the stuff to support is tough, don't know if I would agree or disagree with what they're saying.
None.

Your score pegs you as economically moderately leftist and socially centrist.

Interesting. Apart from Dumbducky, I'm the only (positive score) social centrist. And the only social-centrist and moderate-leftist.
None.

Your score pegs you as economically moderately capitalist and socially centrist.
Moderate capitalists usually support free trade and low taxes, but take pragmatic stances according to what they believe will be best for business and workers.
Social centrists generally believe in a mix of individual liberties and controls, corresponding to what they see as moral or best for society.
Sounds accurate to me. It's basically saying you support the free market and any economic interference is strictly for the benefit of business and smooth running of the market, not the poor etc.
None.
