    We had a thread about the Social Attitudes test, I thought maybe it would be interesting to also see how people's results on the 'PoliticalCompass' test look like. This test is a lot better than most others because it doesn't simply rate you as left or right, conservative or liberal and so on. It has two axis, the X-axis representing your Economic position and the Y-axis representing your Social position.

    PoliticalCompass also has a great feature to easily create crowd charts which is why I thought it might be interesting to post here, we can easily see where each of us lands on the chart compared to eachother.

    To add yourself to the crowd chart open the link of the chart posted by the previous person, add your name with the x and y values from the test and paste the new link into this thread. Remember to Hyperlink it, the URL will get quite massive after a few names have been added.

    I'll leave an image of our chart here in the OP, I pop on here most days just to read new threads and replies so should be able to update it to the most recent chart every evening when I'm on.

    Our Crowd Chart so far.

    Here is the test itself. The Political Compass - Test

    Here is the starting Crowd Chart that the first person to reply should add themselves to. Link

    I've started to dislike this test because it seems to be using a lot of libertarian buzzwords (weasel words, IMO) in the questions, with many other words being overdramatic. Even the compass map is kind of distorted because "authoritarian" has almost exclusively negative connotations.

    Looks like I'm right next to Gandhi.

    Mine is about on par with Jwis, which is not accurate at all. I'm a much stronger believer in an authoritarian government than that.

    I have made one with everybody so far on it. I can't edit the OP though, which was originally my intent, to keep the OP updated with the most recent image.

    I've done this before, and the results are pretty much the same. It's pretty accurate, but I'm still not a fan of some of the questions.

    Economic left/right: 1.50.

    Social libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.15.

    Its cool, I was just making the observation.

    I felt super left when I finished and the closest left person to me was the Dhali Llama dude, and he was far more right than I xD
