Soonerfans Political Compass

[SouthCarolinaSooner]

I'm sure most of you are familiar with the political compass, a relatively short political test that results in your plotting on four quadrant x/y scale. The test is here:
http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

I'd be interested to see where many of you stack up, post your scores here and we can create a soonerfans spectrum.

Economic Left/Right: 1.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.28

Also interesting, a plotting of the 2012 Presidential election candidates.

http://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2012

They have a great analysis of Obama:

"Many of Obama’s detractors absurdly portray him as either a radical liberal or a socialist, while his apologists, equally absurdly, continue to view him as a well-intentioned progressive, tragically thwarted by overwhelming pressures. 2008's yes-we-can chanters, dazzled by pigment rather than policy detail, forgot to ask can what? Between 1998 and the last election, Obama amassed $37.6million from the financial services industry, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

While 2008 presidential candidate Obama appeared to champion universal health care, his first choice for Secretary of Health was a man who had spent years lobbying on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry against that very concept. Hey! You don't promise a successful pub, and then appoint the Salvation Army to run it. This time around, the honey-tongued President makes populist references to economic justice, while simultaneously appointing as his new Chief of Staff a former Citigroup executive concerned with hedge funds that bet on the housing market to collapse. Obama poses something of a challenge to The Political Compass, because he's a man of so few fixed principles."

This political compass should remind you to NEVER post political discussions in the South Oval!

As I expected I was pretty much on the Bull's Eye.

Just a hair Left and Libertarian.

It looks like I'm a little further left and libertarian than most peeps posting here.

I cannot decide if I misunderstood some questions or if it is the military background that is eating my lunch. The results surprised even me.

[SicEmBaylor]

It has been a couple of years since I last took the test, but I'm still drifting further down the Y axis. Some of the questions are a bit difficult to answer because they're a little ambiguous and there are times when it's a flip of the coin between "disagree" and "agree."

But here are my latest results....this seems about right.

econ 1.25
social 0.56

seems about right...

Course some questions are up to interpretation, so that may change the results a bit. For example I believe corporations have a right to make their money but have some responsibility to protect the environment. Unfortunately we have to have some type of government regulation due to human nature to not give a $hit...

Disagree with the way several questions were worded, and for sure where they put historical/current politicians, but interesting.

Knowing MR2, I don't know how in the hell he achieved that score. I'm going to chalk that up to him being drunk. Hell, I think my 'y axis' score is way too high.

I wish the test would differentiate between policies at different levels of government. That's a big problem for me.

Heh, so far nobody is further to the right than I am confirming my claim that I'm the most conservative person in the world. :D

(Even though I don't believe left/right grading is an indication of how 'conservative' someone is, but I won't quibble)

[pphilfran]

Pretty similar other than the Right /Authoritarian grouping..

[Midtowner]

Meh.. I wanted to see sober cruiser vs. past 9PM cruiser.

[SicEmBaylor]

A Lone Wolf...errr Bear...
This has actually been a pretty interesting project. I bet there's a paper topic to be found somewhere in this.

[pphilfran]

On the chart I am close to Mid, yer, Diver, and some others... I agree with most of their stances...

We gotz at least 3 crazies....SouthCarolina, Sic Em, and MR2

Mid said it... we need Cruiser's numbers...I would have to extend the axis...

When you take the quiz, it spits out an image. You just post it like any other image, i.e., URL HERE.
