OK - out of curiosity, then, and for comparison with other sites, you can have a go at the Political Compass test.

Would do so gladly - but not sure how to place the dot...

Nifty ibis.

I love this test because it completely wrecks my head.

Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.90

I did this before. My dot was right in the middle, on top of zakalwe's.

You don't need to! Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, it will be placed automatically after you have filled in your details...

Got it.

I wish I could find my result from a couple of years ago. I think I was further south then. Damn, I'm becoming a monster.

I was -3.5/-3.5 when on p.ie now I'm -6.5/-4.2 here. Maybe tomorrow I'll be different.

Starting tomorrow I'm going to open a thread on each of those questions...

"Women have careers but their first duty should be as homemakers" Discuss.

"No one can feel naturally homosexual" Discuss.

HA! It's more a prediction.

But didn't somebody here suggest that P.ie was dominated by right-wingers?

I submitted myself for both politics.ie and machination graphs. While I'm dead centre in the Politics.ie, in machinenation I am way out on the right!!??! right-wing authoritarian!!

I guess you'd have to consider post count (and maybe reputation) to determine that.

What should your scores be? You've got a zero for one of the scores...

It must be a shifting compass.

It's the most likely outcome in Ireland though, is it not ?
I was thinking, as I was doing the test, that I was going to end up a bit closer to the center than I did. I could have done with a neither-nor option for a good few of them.

Wasn't me.

The old left-right thing is way far below your intellectual capacity cookie - we should have a thread in fact which tries to construct an entirely new system altogether. Who knows ? Maybe that's what machine nation is all about ?

Which readings are you on these ? I think one of the red ones should be changed to green by the way, just like the 'quarks' in the proton.

Economic Left/Right: -7.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.15



Apparently. Seems Cookie's theory is intact....

Got 0.0 for economic and -2.46 for social which would be about right
(slightly flippant remark I made above)
Obviously its not right wing authoritarian (far from it)- only relative to you gentle people.

U2 are on the Tele. Fuck politics.....

I felt the same, EVM and I was conscious that there was more to say 'strongly disagree' to than 'strongly agree.' Some of us come into the world saying No...

A few were annoying. A 'no opinion' or 'both equal' option would have helped. My mind has gone blank on which ones, it's like school exams, I forgot everything within two seconds of putting the pen down...
